Zane … Six Months Old … Beaverton Baby Photographer

Kimberly Whipps — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:47:36 +0000

One of my favorite part of photographing newborns is the chance to watch them grow. Here is Zane with his super cute big brother and sister when he was just two weeks old.

And now look at him! He was the sweetest little chunk, just handing out the grins. And he was quite the dancer.

Meet Eve Iftu…whose name means “light or brightness” and boy does it fit. What a ray of sunshine this little one is! I recently had the honor of photographing Eve with her mom and dad, Brad and Steph and her two brothers, Zach and Judah. Their family has had a long haul to bring this little one home from Ethiopia and it was a joy to see them together and so happy.

Thank you Brad and Steph for sharing your little joys with me!

Audrey … Beautiful Baby Photography

Sweet baby chub! I adore this sweet baby’s cherubic face…doesn’t she look like a porcelain doll? And to top it off…she was one of the happiest babies…just a bundle of smiles. Thank you Steve and Jacqui, I’m so lucky to photograph your baby girl!

As always…can you guess the quote?
“Would you like something to eat? Something to nibble? Apricots, soaked in honey? Quite why, no one knows, because it stops them tasting like apricots and makes them taste like honey… and if you wanted honey, you could just… buy honey. Instead of apricots. But nevertheless they’re yours if you want them.”

This was so much fun! So much energy and joy! This was another “Sitter Session” that included adorable big brother and sister. Six months is a great time to update your family photos.

Thank you Ed and Rebecca for bringing your little ones into the studio!

Asher … Baby Photography Portland

Kimberly Whipps — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:52:55 +0000

My goodness….could this little guy be any cuter? This is one of my favorite stages to photograph…I call it a “Sitter Session”. These portraits are best done when your little one is sitting up unaided, but not yet crawling. Of course, they can be done when they are crawling….it’s just a bit more of a workout.

Asher came in for his session at the perfect time and her had the sweetest little smile and he thought my basket tasted great.

Mini Sessions! … Portland Family and Child Photographer

Kimberly Whipps — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:36:46 +0000

On April 30th, Barefoot Photographer held the 4th Annual Barefoot for Babies Fundraiser, a day of mini session to benefit the local Pregnancy Resource Centers. I know a lot of you are waiting to hear the outcome, and we are nearly there. Just finishing up a few final orders and then I can share the total funds raised.

However, the day of mini sessions was so popular, that I went over the 10 spaces allotted for the day and had a waiting list. With such an outcome, I think we need another day of mini sessions! Mini sessions are a fabulous way for people to update their walls with new family and child portraits.

The mini sessions will be held at the Barefoot Photography studio in Portland on June 25th. Each session will last 15-20 minutes and capture 10-15 portraits for you. The cost is $99 for 3 subjects. (Additional subjects may be added for $10 each.) The $99 includes the session fee and an 11×14 portrait of your choice. Additional portraits or course, may be purchased. Also, due to the nature of a mini session, newborn sessions are not possible.

Please call 503.886.9528 or email to grab your spot today!

Beckett … Adorable Baby Portraits Portland

Kimberly Whipps — Sun, 22 May 2011 20:54:00 +0000

Meet Beckett…a most serious little one. I love his big brown eyes and little baby chub. I have also had the joy of photographing Beckett since he was in the womb. It is always so fun to follow these little ones as the grow!

We did a bit of a “cake smash” session….but Beckett turned it into a “cake destroy and kill” session. Also…this portrait here is the ONE of him getting the yummy cake even close to his mouth. He didn’t taste one bite…silly boy.

I laugh when I see the last image there, he’s keeping an eye on that cake! Thanks again Eric and Jacinta.

Violet … A Miracle

Kimberly Whipps — Wed, 18 May 2011 15:57:31 +0000

So many of you know this little one from the very beginning of her life. She came into this world against all odds…she broke the rules and survived. And here she is at one year. Beautiful, miraculous Violet. I thank God for her life…she and her family are an inspiration to so many. If you have missed Violet’s story…please read the post from her newborn session and about her at six months. She is truly inspiring!

First of all…these smiles weren’t exactly being handed out. I had to work hard for this one. I’ve been told that Violet is rather opinionated. She has her ideas and they are better than yours. She makes me smile!

Fiercely independent, Violet is determined to do all things herself. She is ahead of schedule in her speech and I found out just recently that Violet is walking now. Yet another feat that Violet’s parents were told she would never do.

Trying really hard not to smile here…

This was one of my favorites from the session…she’s so pensive. This was one of the first shots of her session and I had clearly not yet impressed her at all.

A special thanks to Rich, Kelly and Violet’s big sister Mahaela for sharing their sweet miracle with us all. Violet is a gift from God and I am so grateful that I have had the honor of working with you all!

Ethan, Elijah and Isabella … Triplet Photographer Portland

Kimberly Whipps — Sun, 15 May 2011 06:24:32 +0000

Take a look at these beautiful triplets! Aren’t they just absolutely precious? I’m always amazed at parents of multiples. I had my three girls all just one at a time and thought it was a difficult road at times. I can’t imagine three at once! But I sure had fun photographing them…

Thank you Jacob and Amanda…it’s been a pleasure to capture your troop!

Sydney … Gresham Baby Photographer

Kimberly Whipps — Thu, 12 May 2011 04:12:27 +0000

I recently photographed one of the best baby smiles ever. Meet Princess Sydney! Check out how super smiley she was for our portrait session…such a cutie! She did actually throw me a few tears and boo boo lips…those were cute too, but I just can’t resist that happy face.
