Little Sam :: Elena Wilken :: Portland Or. Photographer

Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood, we find a delightful creature of a boy.

While taking pictures of Sarah the other week, I snuck in a few of Sam as well, her big brother :) He is getting so big, so fast :)

I was going through some of the files from last year, on the back ups and I came across some of his photos. He is not a little baby anymore, not even a little boy. 

...These images got me so excited about all the fall colors - all this beauty and all the honey like and fiery red hues are just around the corner :)  I am very much looking forward to all the sessions I have coming up in the next couple of months! Fall and spring are my most favorite - fall probably even more than spring.

Elianna :: Elena Wilken :: Portland Or. Children's Photographer

Such a bright and happy little girl! I had quite a lot of fun chasing her around but was wiped out by the time I got back home. Between Audrey and all the little ones I'm photographing my exercise is taken care of ;)

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 :)
