Emri | Brand New ~ St. Helens / Scapppose / Portland Newborn Photographer

Meet Emri Eilene.  By over a pound, this is the tiniest baby I have ever photographed.  This dainty little girl weighed in at 4 lbs, 6 oz., 18.25″ long and was born 02-15-12.  Usually I might have to pin back a headband or a tutu, but never have I had everything too big before. Fortunately her aunt (and one of my former favorite brides) made her two headbands that fit perfectly.  I ran into her a few weeks ago and she is just the cutest little princess, and totally filled out. I even got a few gummy smiles out of her! Congratulations Kindra and Nick, she is a very perfect blessing, all 4 lbs and 6 oz. of her!

Alyson | Brand New – Portland / Scappoose Newborn Photographer

Meet Alyson!  She is the beautiful daughter of Adam and Stacey.  She was born 01-31-12, weighed in 7.14 oz. and was 21 inches long.   Poor little Alyson came to see me twice, which I am always willing to accommodate. The first time she came for her newborn session, she had an upset belly and just couldn’t get comfortable. They brought her back a few days later and she did wonderful!  Congratulations Adam and Stacey, your sweet, beautiful daughter is just perfect!  Thank you for allowing me to capture her newborn pictures for you!
