With weddings and engagement sessions taking up what seems like every free moment of the spring and summer, I never feel like I’m able to do nearly as many family portrait sessions as I’d like. But when I ran in Whitney at Stephen & Ariel’s Nashville wedding a few months back, I knew I wanted to make a point of documenting her family. While I’ve known Whitney for years, with this era of college and marriage and starting families it’s been far too long since we’ve seen each other. But last month, on one beautiful Portland afternoon, we met at the Willamette River Park for an adorably sweet family session. I had the most wonderful time getting to know Whitney’s children, Claire + Cruz, as well as her hubby, Brad. Mason - Claire + Cruz’s extra handsome cousin - joined us with his sweet parents Danny and Shelley for a few hours of running and jumping and traipsing through riverbeds. All the while taking photos to remember this beautifully spirited season of life…
