Barlow Family shoot

It was such a pleasure meeting and working with Shonda and her family a couple weeks ago. Shonda is a very talented portrait and wedding photographer in Vancouver and Portland. (Shonda Barlow Photography) I know as a photographer that we rarely get photographed since we are always the ones taking the photos. So it was a huge compliment when she reached out to us to photograph her family! Her girls, Aydri and Brielle, were so sweet and a pleasure to work with. They became especially adorable when they saw the dolls that Shonda brought for them as a present for being good during the photo shoot. I wish that trick worked with all photo shoots! :P

We started the shoot in Happy Valley where we found several colorful trees for backdrops. We ended on Powell Butte - one of my favorite spots to walk around and soak in some beautiful Portland scenery. It was a fun shoot and I hope to work with this great family again!
