Family Photos in the Woods

Smith Family // September 24, 2016
Fairview, Oregon

A couple months prior to this photo shoot, I was in the office chatting casually with my coworker Jessica. She was early into her third trimester, pregnant with her first son. We discussed weekend plans, as well as how she would decorate the baby's nursery and which stroller she still needed to buy. It was July in Portland which meant long days, warm temperatures, and a care-free attitude. 

The next morning Jessica didn't come to work. I thought maybe she wasn't feeling well. Later that afternoon I found out that she had given birth to little Greyson. What a surprise! Fast forward a few months. Healthy, strong, and sweet, I had the privilege to meet the little guy. Jessica and her husband Cody packed up the car, grabbed the dog, and together we headed into the woods for an afternoon walk and photo shoot. They are such a sweet family!
