6 days old sweet pea!

Mother's Day session - K & N

I had a Mother's Day session with beautiful 3-year old K, her big brother N and their mommy who is expecting their new sibling. They were both so cute and excited about the new baby. They love to hug and kiss their mommy's belly. So sweet!

Baby E

Little E is exactly 3 months old in these photographs. She was such a happy baby full of smiles and laughs!

Baby A is 6 moths old!

I cannot believe baby A is already 6 months! Just for a fun comparison, here she is 4 days old.

Look who just turned 1!

My little friends B! I cannot believe he's already one! And it just goes to confirm my theory that the first year goes by much faster than all the other years...

Mother's Day session - 3 generations

The J family has a new baby!

Little baby J arrived 2 weeks earlier than expected to her loving family of Js. She loves to be held by her grandma who seemed to have had a real magic touch in her hands. And not only was she able to get baby J's big brother J smile and stop for just a few seconds for me to take a (non-blurry) photo but she also cooked a whole dinner while I was there!

Boys...

The weather has been so nice lately, we were finally able to venture out for a session. C (9), J (11) and their mom was a fun bunch to hang out with!

Mother's Day Special!

Fremouw Photography, together with other local photographers, and the Register Guard are partnering to celebrate Mother's Day 2008!

The Register Guard will be running a special section called Mother's Day Special Section on May 11th. The whole section will have photographs of moms with children, husbands, grandparents, step-parents, adoptive-parents... Just beautiful photos of our Moms!

Show mom how much she means to you by placing a precious family photo in the Register Guard!

The cost is $50 per photo submitted and must be paid in advance.

The deadline for submitting your photo is April 11, 2008!

And here's the deal, if you had a session with me in the past and you'd like to submit a photo from your session, I will do that for you for absolutely no additional charge. All it's going to cost you is the $50 to the Register Guard.

If you would like to do a new session just for the purpose of submitting a photo to the Register Guard, I will do a mini-session for you for absolutely no charge. In other words, I'll waive the session fee (which is normally $80).

Your session must occur by April 1st.

Let your friends know and lets flood the Register Guard with some beautiful photos of our families!

For more information, please call Livia at 541-344-3389.

Is there anything sweeter than a new baby?

I really don't think so. This little one was 5 days young and so fresh and beautiful with a full head of hair and big dark eyes!

Looking at him made me wonder about a recent conversation I had with someone who thought newborn babies were ugly. Now how on earth could something, someone that's so delicate, precious and sweet be ugly? "No way," I said, "Go to my blog and look around. Not a trace of ugliness!" So if you ever hear someone say such nonsense, let them know that they are so VERY wrong!

Why custom photography?

Chicago based children’s photographer Marianne Drenthe with the help of many other children and family photographers put into words a wonderful consumer guide website for those of you who might be considering hiring a custom photographer. You will learn more about custom photography, what it is, what it involves, what goes on after the shutter stops clicking and why choose custom photography. It's a wonderful read that I'd recommend to everyone!

A gorgeous family

Little musician...

The best big brother!

Little 7-week old A is so lucky. She has the most charming and adoring brother! I bet she will have tons of fun with him and he'll teach her many many things about this world!

Tree kids

What an amazing session I had with these kids - 7-year old E, 3-year old C and their baby sister M! E & C are both outstanding climbers. We spent a lot of time on, under and around trees but mostly on. Well, they did. I stayed under...

More Oregon Ballet Academy

Last weekend with the help of Megan and John at the Oregon Ballet Academy studio, we did a photo session for the children that were in the Sleeping Beauty performance. They got to chose what costume to put on and John guided them through the ballet poses. We had a wonderful time and we got a lot of sweet and cool ballet and some not-so-much ballet images! Here is just a little teeny tiny sampling...
