Fall Leaves – The Art of Kid Joy!

When was the last time you jumped in a leaf pile? The truth is, I was just a bit jealous of Noah and Connor!!

When Was The Last Time….

…you had FULL family portraits? Maybe a wedding? A family reunion?

You don’t need to wait until the next major-dress-up-best-behavior family event. We can incorporate an Art of Joy Family Session into almost any family outing! We’ll photograph your family in our signature relaxed style, as well as well as candid moments. Whether it’s generations together, or just you and the kids, schedule in a photo session, then you can cross it off your “gotta do” list. Now isn’t that easy?

Rylee is 1!

Here is a sneak peek at Rylee’s one year old session. I got to document her first experience on the slide. After she got the hang of sliding down, she took it upon herself to try defying gravity! Did she make it? We’ll have her full blog entry up soon, so check back to find out!

Isaac * The Art of Joy

I had not photographed Issac for a few years, and forgot how I love his sense of style.

Nikki is going to be a Momma!

I don’t get to photograph “before” (aka maternity sessions) very often outdoors, so this was a treat. I told Nikki that she had a good luck little girl in there because the weather turned for us after days and days of rain!

It was hard to imagine her not smiling (or to be honest, for her to stop smiling!) but we did manage to pull it off once or twice…

but never for long!

The Art of Two!

A few weeks ago we multi-tasked in the studio. We combined Lucy’s two year old session with her mom’s maternity session. Lucy’s little brother, Eli, will be joining the family in a matter of weeks. We’ll have more of Lucy and her beautiful Momma, Melissa, up soon on The Shutter Monkey!

Bring on the Summer! * AJ’s Art of Joy Portraits

amy — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:53:01 +0000

We’ll be revealing this summer’s Gem sessions soon! Limited Edition children’s Gem sessions are fun kids and easy for parents. Our family Gem sessions offers our signature fusion of casual portraiture and lifestyle photography. Quick and easy, we like to think of them as part of your family time, rather than time out from it! Bring on the summer and give us a call!

Welcome Baby Kyle * Baby Joy

A couple of weeks ago we featured a glowing Brianna, who was in the final weeks of her pregnancy. With the arrival of baby Kyle, Brie has gone from glowing to beaming. And who can blame her – this little man had me wrapped around his tiny finger at first look.

Brianna’s Belly Session * Portland Family Photography

Can you just see the excitement and joy in Brianna’s face? Her happiness and excitement were totally contagious. I just completed their sweet little bundle’s newborn session, so stay tuned to see the lucky baby who got these brand new parents!
