Personal Project :: Bailie :: Elena Wilken :: Portland Or. Photographer

I've had such a great time the other day with Hannah and her sisters. We've been e-mailing back and forth, met a few times, and this was the second time we met to take pictures together. Her sisters willingly modeled for us - thank you! I had a great time.

I am really glad I met Hannah and I got to know her. She is such a sweet person and a great photographer. I sure learned a thing or two from her. Thank you Hannah ;)

Here are a few pictures that I took of Bailey. This shoot made me reconsider not being too interested in senior photo sessions. I might start doing that in the future. It was so much fun. A LOT different than photographing kids. Not better - just different. Good different :)

By the way, if you are in the Portland area and are in need of senior pictures or you have a friend in need of senior pictures, check out Hannah's blog and website! :)

... I'll be posting pictures of Taylor soon, as well.
(followed by the images  of a super cute girly little newborn and a little 2 year old princess in a tutu; so make sure you come back! ;)

Trash the Tutu Session :: Elena Wilken :: Portland OR. Children Photographer

I had five sessions in the past two weeks and I definitely had many choices when it comes to the first post to this new blog. But since this is the first post I wanted it to be one that is very special and meaningful to me, so I decided to repost one of the last session I had not too long ago. A session with my girly girl that I very much loved :)

These days I get a lot of "No"s, and not that much eye contact from the little princess :) But that's ok - she's staying just as sweet as always and I know that she will outgrow the stage. She'll grow up to be mommy's little assistant, or maybe daddy's little guitar and piano player, or maybe a little ballerina. She loves to dance, read and look at the pictures in her daddy's old "Golden Books", and study "The Black Book" (photography portfolios) ... So we'll see :)

Hannah thank you for coming along and playing with us :)
