Erin and Ken Prepare for Baby Q

It is with the utmost joy that I introduce pregnant Erin!  Erin--my business partner, confidant, close friend, and sister--told me she was pregnant in January 2012 and it has been a thrill beyond words to watch her grow into the woman and the mother she is today. Before her son was born, I had the privilege of photographing her baby shower and her belly bump photos. In September 2012, she entered into motherhood with grace and I am so thrilled to be by her side as she finds her way through parenthood with her fabulous husband and absolutely adorable child Quintin!  This has been one of the most amazing journeys I've had the opportunity to be part of, and I cannot wait to witness Erin's and Ken's baby become an individual being and an echo of his loving mom and dad. I have great admiration and respect for you Erin.  With all my love, Kate

Liliana's Baptism

Liliana and her mom Theresa are part of Erin's mama-baby playgroup that meets monthly. So when Liliana's parents planned her baptism, they asked Parallel to be there to document the special occasion. Family from near and far gathered at a local N Portland church to celebrate together. Dressed in her beautiful white gown, Liliana looked and behaved the part of a perfect angel. Her proud parents beamed down at her from the front of the church as the priest bestowed his blessings and prayers upon her. The baptism was followed by family photos in the park and a reception at the family's home. Congratulations Liliana and family. Thank you for inviting us to be part of your special day!

The Kiraly Family + One More

Another wonderful portrait shoot of the beautiful Kiraly family…with one addition!  Please welcome the charming Lukas.  This was our first introduction to him and we couldn't help but be reminded of when we first photographed his sister, Adeline back in 2011 as a tiny 6-month-old - and now she is an older sister to her new 2-month-old brother.  It was so great to see how Adeline has grown and continues to develop into a fabulously cheerful little girl.  We know Lukas will also grow up to be a sweet young boy and we're so happy for the whole Kiraly family!  Thank you for letting us document your family's life, once again.
