A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take pictures of the Limont family. They recently welcomed baby Nolan into their family, and wanted some pictures of them as a group. The setting I used, Schreiner’s Iris Gardens, was in bloom with spring flowers. There was a lot for the little ones to look at and play on, which made for some cute photo opportunities. I think the pictures turned out great, and I hope that the Limonts are as happy about them as I am.

Below is a sampling of the pictures from their shoot. You can see the whole set here: Limont Family Shoot.

I met up with the Bassett-Smith family the day after Christmas to take pictures of them while their family that was in town. Also, their son, my good friend, Trevor, was home from the Peace Corps for the holidays. There were a lot of special moments to capture, to say the least! The shoot took place at their home, which was perfect low-stress option for the little kids.

It was a treat to spend time with this happy family, and I’m glad that they chose me to capture their special moments this Christmas. Below you’ll see a couple pictures from the shoot, and if you would like to see them all check out my flickr set : Bassett-Smith Family Shoot.

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to take pictures of the Torres family. They were quite the happy bunch, despite the freezing temperatures that day. We used Willamette Mission Park as the setting for the shoot, as it was holding onto its fall color and feel better than some of the other local parks. The Torres’ are avid sports fans (especially football), and wanted to bring that into the shoot. They each wore a jersey from one of their favorite teams, and we had a lot of fun using “football poses”.

They timed their shoot perfectly, and got their pictures back right in time for their Christmas cards. I had a lot of fun with this happy family! If you’re interested in your own family shoot, be sure to contact me by phone 503.580.0296 or email holly@hollyamlin.com. Enjoy!

My Fiance, Greg, and I have decided to work on a photo project together. We want to decorate our place a little more, and decided to hone in on our living room walls. We’re getting married soon, and have been given a few wedding gifts so far that really add some nice decor to our space. We wanted to add something with a personal touch to make our space feel a little more like ours.

We bought several picture frames at thrift stores, of various sizes, and we’re going to arrange them on one of our walls. We decided to tell a story with the pictures we use. Displaying our favorite things from one of our favorite towns would be the most sentimental to both of us. Newport, Oregon has a lot of significance to us as a couple (our first date in 2007, and the place Greg proposed a little over a year ago to name a couple things).

Below is a sampling of the pictures that we took. There are larger versions on my flickr if you’re interested. I hope that you enjoy seeing a little glimpse of what is special to us!
