We were thrilled to hear from Matt & Nova, one of our wedding couples from 2007, inviting us to take photos of them with their new baby daughter (!!) and visiting relatives. We met up with them at Avery Park in Corvallis this weekend, and the weather was agreeable to a very fun photo session!



Matt's brother's family and their two kids were great in front of the camera...



It's not often that I brag on technology, but in this shoot particularly I was absolutely blown away by what Nikon's full-frame DLSRs coupled with the 70-200mm VR AF-S lens can do. I've shot with this combination for years and am continually amazed by it. This scene lasted for just a split second (as anybody who's photographed kids can imagine!), but even despite lots of movement taking place at the same time, it focused perfectly and created a photo that is definitely one of my favorite kids' portraits:

Now, more of Matt and Nova, and their beautiful baby girl!


Such a personality...


Go Beavers!

I wish I had room to show the rest of their photos, but we're delivering almost ten times as many as I can fit in this blog post! It was a real treat catching up with their family and being able to make some great images.
Although we're booked for weddings almost every weekend throughout the summer, there's still plenty of availability for creating family portraits on weekday evenings.
Let us know if you're interested in a family photo session!
