Oregon Zoo

I went to the zoo yesterday with all the family - it was a beautiful day here in the Northwest, so the zoo was very busy! It was the first time the newphews and neice had even been to the zoo - some were a little worried about the big animals, but others were very awed and interested!

This polar bear kept everyone entertained by throwing around this bucket - it would put it on it's head, and all the kids would laughhhhh. :)


My lil hunk of a newphew - Aaron, and his super cool sunglasses!

Looking at the new baby elephant
Phi showing me the elephants - he thought they were pretty cool!
I got to carry Marcus around the zoo for a couple hours - lucky me! :) He's three weeks old now.

Katelynn loved the zoo and all the new and interesting things to see

Sharing some of their lunch with the duck :)

Marcus keeping the sun out of his face with a cuet baseball hat - it worked very well!

Girraffe reaching high to get some green leaves - so cool!

At the petting zoo, Katelynn was so cute, she would pat a goat, then wave "bye bye" at it, and move to pat the next goat. Then she hunkered down to have a little conversation with one of them :) So cute :)

Baby Marcus

I was so excited to be able to have another newborn session today! I must say that they are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. :) This little guy is extra special, because he is my very own snuggly little nephew! Enjoy the pictures! :)

I'll start off with my fav from the day :)

This lovely lady made this darling teddy bear hat. It was perfect as one of our little props. :)

I got some new seamless background paper in a different color - grey! I was lovin' it for this newborn session, as it goes well with skintones and all the neutral colors.

Marcus and his big brothers - Phi and Aaron

Aaron is such a big helper! Don't you love how his mouth is open, showing Marcus how to take the pacifier? :)

I just thought these next two pictures were too funny!!
The expressions crack me up every time!

And this one - classic! Even shows off his darling dimple! SO STINKIN' CUTE!!!

Thanks Sarah! I'll get the pics to you very soon! :)
