a day on the farm | oregon Family lifestyle Photographer

This was one of my favorite sessions because we incorporated the things this family love to do together.  Terrie is a wonderful designer and wedding stylist.  I met Terrie because I nannied her youngest daughter and then she styled my wedding, which can be seen here on Style Me Pretty.  She loves spending time with her family and her and her husband have built a gorgeous home urban farm in Jacksonville, Oregon.   I love family sessions that tell a story like this one.  We incorporated their lifestyle to tell a little more story of the Day Family.  The dining outside (table built by her husband Steve) and going to feed the chickens.  I also admire Terrie's style which is French Parisian Chic with a twist of farmhouse.  Every time I go to her house I never want to leave, it's like the perfect little escape.    Any woman would want Terrie to design their home! I have also worked with her a lot on some weddings as you can guess she has an amazing eye for styling weddings.   Terrie's girls are the sweetest they are all so beautiful and they are so sweet natured.  Her husband is one of the nicest men I know and he is always up for whatever Terrie dreams up.  I always love hearing her next plans and her new creative ideas.  It is truly a honor to call her a friend and to spend time with such a creative and talented woman.  Also their chickens and roosters are adorable.  Terrie's favorite Rooster is named Rosie because they thought it was a girl when he was a chick.    I would love for my clients to incorporate their lifestyle into their shoot.  It is the best way to tell your story as a family and really document you doing things you do everyday authentically.   Trust me, we don't have to play with the chickens if that's not your lifestyle!  We just need to incorporate your personalities and your style into the shoot by communicating and planning what makes sense for your family.  

Ramirez Family | Oregon Family Photographer

 

Erica actually was gifted her session from a friend. I always love meeting clients that have received a gift card because it's like a new surprise of meeting a new client.  This family couldn't have been more sweet and adorable.  The baby was just the cutest and all their siblings were very patient and wonderful with her.  

If you love the look of this session then now is the time to shoot! Summer nights give the perfect scenic glow for portrait sessions.  Also if you are wondering about how long family sessions are they are quick. I know how tough it is with little ones so I say up to an hour just to give us a good amount of time but really they are like 45 minutes.  We take breaks for the kids because they need them and we always make sure mom and dad look their best.  I love having different combinations of family members and the different dynamics.  Yes mom and dad always get at least one photo together after all this beautiful family is here because you two fell in love!
