Fall Senior Photos | Vancouver, WA Senior Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/11/fall-senior-photos-vancouver-wa-senior-photographer Bailey has such a unique style that I just adore, I knew we'd have to find just the right place to match for her senior photos and I think we did it! I love the beautiful doors, arches, and giant trees with gorgeous fall colors in every walkway. 

Bailey enjoys thrifting, reading, walking in the woods, exploring museums, gardens and old places. She loves to learn and tell stories and theater is one of the ways she engages in storytelling. In fact, you can see her as Belle, in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, performed by Journey Theater starting Nov. 23. Get your tickets here.

Playful Family Photos by the River | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/10/playful-family-photos-by-the-river-vancouver-wa-photographer The Columbia river is a fun place for photos if you're open to letting the kiddos play in the sand and splash in the water! It can get a little messy but that's what makes it fun! The sun can be very bright until right at sunset, but if you time it just right, the colors are rich and beautiful.

Capturing Cuteness: How to Include Pets in your Family Photos | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/10/capturing-cuteness-how-to-include-pets-in-your-family-photos-vancouver-wa-photographer Having pets along for family photos can be so much fun and bring an extra special touch to your images. AND it can add an extra challenge, too. I'm definitely not an expert on the topic, but I've seen families do a few smart things that really helps the session go more smoothly.  Here's a few ideas I've seen: 

  • Bring treats to hold their attention. 
  • Keep them on leash. 
  • Bring a friend (a teenage puppy sitter!) to watch them when we're doing taking a couple of photos with them. 
  • If the day is cool enough, put them away after a few photos. 
  • Don't expect them to be in every photo. Take a few with them in the beginning of the session.

What tips do you have for a successful time with pets? 

Speaking of pets in photos, this little guy was just perfect...so cute and such a ham. <3

Fall family photos at Fort Vancouver | Vancouver, WA https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/10/fall-family-photos-at-fort-vancouver-vancouver-wa I think it was last year when I photographed these guys and it was sunny one minute and POURing the next. But I still loved our drenched in rain photos. This year we had a beautiful sunny eve and all was just lovely until...we were attacked by bees! No joke. I usually say we want the kids to have good memories of family photos so they're willing to keep coming back again but oh man, the bad luck! I suppose we can say at least this time we managed to finish our photos.

September Family Photos | Vancouver, WA https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/9/september-family-photos-vancouver-wa September is a beautiful time of year for photos. The sun is still mostly shining and the temperatures are (usually) just right...except for the hundred degree days we had in Vancouver this year...that was a little crazy. Plus, you don't have to keep the little ones up super late past bedtime to get that nice evening light that is perfect for outdoor photos. 

Love watching kiddos grow up in person and through my lens.  Another year with these sweet friends of mine. <3

Carson Class of 2025 | Vancouver, WA Senior Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/9/carson-class-of-2025-vancouver-wa-senior-photographer Not only did Carson brave the 98 degree heat (in September!) for photos, he was also willing to walk all over the WSUV campus for them...in the 98 degree heat. Thank goodness for his family following us around with water bottles. Carson loves to play golf while traveling with his dad so we incorporated that into his session. It's always fun to incorporate a hobby or school activity into your senior photos. Thanks for spending the eve with me, Carson! I hope you have a great senior year!

If you like a more quiet location, this spot is great for that. Alina enjoys being a part of her school's bowling team, singing and serving at church. It was great spending a little time getting to know you more, Alina! Wishing you a great a senior year!

Battle Ground WA Senior Photography https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/8/battle-ground-wa-senior-photography Henry was a good sport as we walked all around finding good spots and avoiding the crowds on this beautiful sunny day in Battle Ground. Henry enjoys gaming and hanging out at the river with friends. So naturally, the river made a perfect spot for senior photos!  Wishing you a great senior year, Henry!

Senior Photos in Downtown Vancouver, WA https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/8/senior-photos-in-downtown-vancouver-wa Jude is a kind and thoughtful senior with a busy year ahead - track, football, student leadership, involvement at church.... 

AND he wins the award for most being the patient and having the best smile even when I took him all over Vancouver.  

Wishing you a great senior year, Jude!

Playful Family Photo Sessions | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/8/playful-family-photo-sessions-vancouver-wa-photographer We definitely want kids to have good feelings about having their photo taken so they want to come back again and again so we try to keep things light and fun with little games and silliness. The best locations have a fun way to end the evening with maybe a splash in the water, throwing rocks in the river or even playing on a playground. 

I've been photographing these sweeties since they were newborns! It is a gift to watch families grow.

Photographing Newborns at Home is Worth It | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/7/vancouver-wa-in-home-newborn-photography-session Have you considered having newborn photos taken in your home but are worried about your space or trying to get your home looking just perfect after having a baby? It's not uncommon for me to show up at a family's home and hear, "I'm so sorry we didn't have a chance to clean up, feel free to move anything you need to."  Of course! The last thing we're thinking about after having a baby is getting our house perfectly clean and organized!  (Or maybe that's just me.)

But don't worry! It's not hard to move things here and there or angle photos in a way that hides messes that you may not want to highlight in a photo you hope to hang on your wall. Trust me, I've taken plenty of photos in my kids very messy rooms, making them look neat and tidy with just the right point of view.

I've photographed newborns in tiny apartments and big homes with giant windows and everything in between. It's the place your sweet baby will call home, it's worth capturing.

Please enjoy these sweet images of baby G and his lovely family in the same home I photographed his big brother in just a few years ago!

Luke Headshots | Vancouver, WA Senior Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/6/luke-headshots-vancouver-wa-senior-photographer My kids take classes and do shows with a theater company in Vancouver called Journey Theater, which has given me the opportunity to meet and photograph many kind and talented students. Luke is one such actor, singer and dancer and you can see him in the upcoming show...Music Man - this summer! We already have our tickets and can't wait to see the show! In the meantime, here are a few headshots (plus some other photos just for fun).

In home newborn photography | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photography https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2024/4/in-home-newborn-photography-vancouver-wa-newborn-photography I think I say it every time, but in home newborn sessions are the best. It really is a gift to photograph families just being together in their home. Baby T was just perfect. So chill and let everyone just love on him nonstop.

Family Photo Adventures by the Lewisville River | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/10/family-photo-adventures-by-the-lewisville-river-vancouver-wa-photographer It was SO much fun catching up with these guys while we played and explored together. We discovered a GIANT fish carcass in the river, a cocoon while hunting caterpillars AND we're pretty sure we found fish eggs tucked between the rocks at the rivers' edge. We all felt like we were risking our lives as the kids learned how to throw rocks in the river and even though the misty rain was starting to get us all fairly wet, no one wanted to go home. Big brother said, "I thought this was going to be boring, but it was actually a lot of fun!" Sorry, not sorry, for the overshare.

In Home Newborn Session | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/10/in-home-newborn-session-vancouver-wa-newborn-photographer Erika and I were chatting during the session...we don't remember actually meeting, but we've known each other a long time. Long enough that I've photographed their wedding and now both their sweet babies as newborns. I especially love in-home sessions because it's just where we do life together.

Family Photos at the Fort | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/10/family-photos-at-the-fort-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I do love photographing little ones at this age. They ARE fairly unpredictable still, however there's so many fun things to do with them. They usually love to ride on shoulders, get tossed in the air, hunt for flowers or bugs and get snuggled by their mamas or papas. As long as we're flexible and chill, the littlest ones often end up making the sweetest photos.

Extended Family in the Fall | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/10/extended-family-in-the-fall-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I always enjoy an opportunity to meet and connect with friend's extended families through photography! Of course the sweet youngest member of the family stole the show. 

We found a nice little hidden spot tucked away from the MANY groups of people out and about taking photos this beautiful day.  I must say that sometimes a momentarily ruined plan means finding something new to appreciate!

Playing by the River in the Fall | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/10/playing-by-the-river-in-the-fall-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Okay, Anna used to babysit my first born so many years ago (like 12!) and now here we are capturing these precious moments with her own sweet family. I love the moments, the colors, the sweetest smile of big sister and time to play by the river is always a favorite at the end of a session.  Enjoy!

Christmas Tree Farm Family Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/10/christmas-tree-farm-family-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Janell and I trade family photos every year so we're always trying to figure out where we should take them. This year we decided on a Christmas tree farm! Kind of funny to visit a tree farm before we head out to the pumpkin patch. It's a little tricky because it's not as easy to move around with the tree stumps but the rich green color of trees is very nice.

Headshots | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/9/headshots-vancouver-wa-photographer Addyson needed a couple of new headshots so why not throw in a few other shots while we were at it! I could definitely get into these kind of sessions. Trying to maximize the light and scenery in one location rather than moving. I enjoyed it.

Downtown Vancouver Senior Photos | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/9/downtown-vancouver-senior-photos-vancouver-wa-photographer One of the best things about being BOTH a photographer AND a teacher is that on more than one occasion I have had the absolute gift of photographing students that were once my students in either preschool or elementary school. And Jody is one of those such students. So glad to spend the evening with you, Jody, and wishing you the BEST senior year! See you in the theater!

Annual Birthday Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/4/annual-birthday-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I love photographing my kids. I don't worry about getting the perfect photo because I have a million photos of them and I don't really love perfect anyway. My only goal is to capture a little piece of their personality at that time of life. Here's a few of my youngest's recent birthday photos. It's rare we have a warm sunny eve for her spring birthday session! Love this silly girl and her big heart.

Annual Birthday Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2023/2/annual-birthday-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Well I couldn't decide what to delete and keep and what to share so I'm sharing a bunch here. Benefits of being a mom with a blog I guess. We had a great time climbing and connecting while we took her 13th birthday photos. I always let her choose where she wants to do them and we visited Lucia Falls a couple weeks ago and she decided this would be the spot. It's a little slippery this time of year but with the right shoes and patience, a beautiful location.  Enjoy my sweet and silly girl!

November Family Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/11/november-family-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I was 100% sure we were going to have to cancel photos so much so I was barely planning to get dressed this Saturday! And then suddenly it looked like we had this little miracle of sunshine during the couple of hours surrounding our photo session. (Seriously it has been POURING.) So we were all pretty amazed to show up to bright sun. But I should have known better! Keep scrolling down and you'll see what I mean. Ha!

Fall Family Photos in Battle Ground WA | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/10/fall-family-photos-in-battle-ground-wa-vancouver-wa-family-photographer It's been a very strange Fall with 80 degree temps, smoke-filled air and absolutely zero rain. Pumpkin patch trips filled with bumpy, dusty hay rides and hopes the pumpkins make it a few weeks without rotting in the hot sun. I'll soon be finishing up my busy photography season and entering into a season with more time to connect with friends and family. I'm never eager for the rainy season to begin but perhaps the rain is coming just in time.

Keeping Annual Family Photos Interesting | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/10/keeping-annual-family-photos-interesting-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I first met and photographed these guys when Matthew was celebrating his first birthday. We enjoyed splashing in the river and playing in their condo. Fast forward many years and here we are at the river again! The one thing I know to be true as a mom is that my girls are growing and changing so fast that I love having photographs that aren't just from my phone to display on our walls and in our annual albums so I LOVE when I have clients that keep coming back year after year to capture their growing family. AND that means we have to find ways to keep it fresh and interesting! So...a little dip in the river at the end of our time together? I say YES! Let's do it!

Family Photos by the River | Battle Ground, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/9/family-photos-by-the-river-battle-ground-wa-family-photographer These adorable boys kept us all moving! I photographed Jared and Mary Beth's wedding several years ago so spending time in one of my favorite Battle Ground spots with their sweet and silly boys was so fun!

Photographing Young Children | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/9/photographing-young-children-vancouver-wa-family-photographer End of a long day of work and chasing this sweet three year old around a field was exactly what I needed to relax! Photographing young children can be a fun experience if everyone sets their expectations appropriately. If you're a parent of a young child I'm sure you know, you can't always control their behavior! They typically have their own mind. And as far as I'm concerned, that usually makes for great photos, as long as we all roll with it! Getting a perfect pose isn't always an option (or necessity). Instead we enjoy hunting for flowers and bugs, building with rocks, playing games, snuggling and talking about silly things like pickle flavored ice cream.

If you're planning a family photo session with little ones, plan on taking it easy. Don't force things. Follow them around, interact with them in natural ways and you'll find there are beautiful images hidden in every day moments.

Downtown Vancouver Senior Photos | Vancouver, WA Senior Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/8/downtown-vancouver-senior-photos-vancouver-wa-senior-photographer I fell asleep counting to 20 during hide and seek tonight.

Garden Senior Photos | Vancouver, WA Senior Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/8/garden-senior-photos-vancouver-wa-senior-photographer One of the best things about photographing seniors is getting to meet really cool people like Ellie. Enjoyed an incredibly toasty evening chatting about experiences in Italy and photographing her beautiful smile. And how perfect that her flowery shirt matches the pink little flowers in the field?? We don't even need the garden for flowers this year because the field is covered in them!

Have a fabulous senior year, Ellie! Click here to book your senior session now!

Morning Extended Family Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/7/morning-extended-family-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I'll be really honest, I almost always won't shoot photos at any other time of day than the evening because location options feel much more limited with the light difference. But I am really glad I said yes and met the Lee family who all came together from all over the country to enjoy a little family time...and especially sweet grandbaby/niece time!

If you want to do a morning session, as close to sunrise as possible is ideal so that light is still filtering through the trees and the shadows aren't as harsh.  These photos were taken between 8 and 9 am.  Then you'll want to find a spot with open shade. That means you're in the shade but the sky above you is open. You aren't actually under anything. Finally, I find it really helps for the sun to be behind the subjects, ideally filtering through trees. 

Those are the things I try and pay attention to when I find myself shooting photos during the day! If you have little ones that need an earlier session, you might find Spring or Fall to be a better time of year for your session if you are flexible.  My 2022 Calendar for Fall is almost full, so click here if you'd like to schedule a session!

Family Maternity Photos by the River | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/6/family-maternity-photos-by-the-river-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I have rescheduled so many sessions this year because it just wouldn't stop raining and now we're are all dying from the heat. Ha! Well, we made it through the high 90s for our late evening photos and these kids did a great job hanging in there. What a sweet bunch and a very lucky baby sister who will be soon joining the family! Thanks for being flexible and braving the crowds, the insanely tall grass and the very fast moving river, Mumley's!

Summer Maternity Photos | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/6/summer-maternity-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Daria and Axel were really so great to spend the evening with and get to know a little bit. We have been trying to connect for several weeks now and the weather has not cooperated and as I'm sure you can tell in the photos, the rain just barely held off for us this day as well! But we were able to get these capture these beautiful moments of motherhood not long before their sweet little baby is due to arrive. I hope you love your photos Daria and Axel and wish you so much joy with your sweet guy when he arrives.

Breitengross Family | Vancouver WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/6/breitengross-family-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Between the weather and sickness it feels like these guys have had to reschedule like a dozen times. It was probably only like 3 but still... So glad we were finally able to catch up and get these done for them! 

By the way, don't think that just because you have older kiddos, you've missed out on "family photo" time. Many of my senior photography clients come back for family photos with their adult kids or before their kids head off to college.  We might not be tossing kids in the air and playing ring around the rosy, but there are still plenty of moments to capture. ;-)

Family Photos in a Field | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/5/family-photos-in-a-field-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I photographed these two's wedding several years ago so it was SO fun to spend a little time with their absolutely precious little ones. They enjoyed little dandelion kisses, laying in the grass, running in the field, playing in the dirt and throwing rocks in the river. Here's a few of my favorites from our time together...  And if you'd like to book your own family session, click here to reach out here!

In Home Newborn Session | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2022/1/in-home-newborn-session-vancouver-wa-newborn-photographer These little brothers were absolutely the sweetest! And I always love the opportunity to connect with a family in their home and capture a tiny bit of life during this fleeting season. The tiny newborn yawns, itty bitty fingers and toes. Such a treat!  Erin and Jeremey, I hope you love your photos as much as I do! 

Wondering when to book your newborn session? It's always great to schedule your session at least a few months in advance if possible. This allows you to have your contract and payment all taken care of ahead of time so when baby is born and life is more hectic, you just send a quick email and we set up a day and time as soon as we can.  My hope is always to keep things as easy and relaxed as possible for you so you can just enjoy your family!

Fall Extended Family Session | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/11/fall-extended-family-session-vancouver-wa-family-photographer When family drives in from Seattle for photos you really cross your fingers and hope for the best (and maybe even pray) here in Vancouver in the fall because it has seriously been raining nonstop and there has been nothing but rain in the forecast as far as the eye can see. Saturday morning I was watching the radar like a hawk and saw a tiny opening in the afternoon so we adjusted our timeline and went for it and man am I glad we did because just as we drove away, at our original start time, it started POURING! Sweet little E stole the show our whole time together, running around the field, playing with leaves and eating flowers. What a CUTIE. I always appreciate families who just go with the flow, don't stress about that perfect pose and just enjoy the moment. Had a great time with these guys!! I hope you all love your photos as much as I do!

Knight Family | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/10/knight-family-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Well we were all pretty wet by the end of this session so much to my surprise there were no rain drops to clone out of glasses or off of shirts and everyone looks happy and the fall colors are just lovely! I suppose I can survive a rain session after all. Not my favorite and I certainly wouldn't recommend it for everyone but a little drizzle wasn't the end of the world!

Baby Ezra | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/10/baby-ezra-vancouver-wa-newborn-photographer Always grateful for families who invite me into their homes and lives during this season when life is new and sleep is rare and change is ever-present to capture the tininess of their new little human and the new connections being made between family members. It is truly an honor and a privilege.

Kimber Family | Vancouver, WA Fall Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/10/kimber-family-vancouver-wa-fall-family-photographer Sometimes family photos can feel chaotic with little ones running around and acting unpredictable, not giving those perfectly frozen smiles and standing perfectly still.  Sometimes they wiggle so much they practically knock the grown ups down and frankly, when you're the adult, it can feel a little out of control.  AND, the outcome of this kind of session is WAY more worth it than the ones where we try and make kids sit still and smile at the camera. So parents, just stay relaxed and enjoy your littles. Interact in ways that are natural and familiar to you and them. Let me step back and photograph your interactions. I promise somewhere in the chaos I'll find something beautiful.

Chu Family | Vancouver, WA Fall Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/10/chu-family-vancouver-wa-fall-family-photographer Grateful for this family and the friendship we have and loving these beautiful fall colors! We drove to our location in the rain and arrived to the most beautiful sunshine. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect fall day! AND I'm reminded as I look at these that family photography is really my favorite. I'd follow kids around and photograph them all day (that sounds less creepy in my head..haha). Yep, they can be challenging sometimes and yet so much fun to try and capture their little personalities.

I happily said yes and enjoyed a little change of pace for this session.  Thanks for a great evening, Danny and wishing you a fabulous senior year!

Trevor and Kari | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/10/trevor-and-kari-vancouver-wa-photographer I've been excited to share these photos to share a bit of Trevor and Kari's day with you. A wedding is always a joy to be a part of, from the getting ready to the celebration with friends and family, dancing, eating and drinking but when it's family that you dearly love, it's particularly special. I had the happy privilege of flying from Vancouver to Indiana (with only slight hiccups) to join my family in the stages of decorating, getting ready, a small family ceremony and a great big friends and family reception.  Please enjoy these photos of Trevor and Kari's wedding.  And for the record, I'm not sorry for sharing A TON of photos. ;-)

Parking Garage Family Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/10/parking-garage-family-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I must say I rather enjoyed the challenge of only shooting on this parking garage roof and seeing what all we could do with the space. We risked the pouring rain to be blessed with the beautiful sunshine and had a silly eve together. I hope you enjoy your photos, Marbrey family! Thanks for the fun!

Sister Session | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/7/sister-session-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Brought my girls along with their sweet friends for sister photos and a few friendship photos during this playful evening. They made a game of hiding in the tall grass and I decided to not tell the children (who all hate bugs), just what exactly might be hiding in there and they made up games in the apple orchard. I'm always amazed at how kids are able to make up play scenarios in just about any situation when we just step back and give them space to run free (and when we get all the tech out of their hands).

In home Newborn Sessions | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/7/in-home-newborn-sessions-vancouver-wa-newborn-photographer You're about to have a brand new baby and you have plenty of options for newborn photography. Studios, in-home portraits of posed babies in baskets and what is referred to as "lifestyle photography."  

Here's a few reasons I love in-home, lifestyle newborn photography...

newborn lifestyle photo

 

Babies are perfect just as they are. They don't need to be posed in unnatural ways to be beautiful. Lifestyle newborn posing is led by the baby. 

And certainly, capturing them in their natural environment helps document little details such as the book shelves behind this crib, handmade by her dad just for her.

Families won't regret capturing their relationships, emotions, connections in this quickly passing time. 
newborn lifestyle photo newborn lifestyle photo newborn lifestyle photo newborn lifestyle photo

Babies don't need to be asleep to get beautiful images, lessening the amount of time needed for the session. 

And we can keep shooting even when they're a little bit fussy and needing comfort, because those are the every day moments of life with a newborn. And certainly if time is needed to take a break for baby to eat, that's easy enough to do during an in-home session.

The tininess of a newborn is so easily seen when held in the arms of their family. 

Their tiny feet, the caress of mom's hand on baby's back, the tiny wrinkles in their arms and legs, their little crinkled nose...

How to Talk to Kids | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/4/how-to-talk-to-kids-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Right before bedtime always seems to be the time I can get my kids to settle down and have a solid conversation with me, without the distractions of Minecraft, or wanting to go play with the neighbors or what's on TV or Legos or whatever else runs through the mind of an eleven and 7 year old throughout the day. I've been listening to this coaching book that's intended for adults but I thought I'd adapt a question and see how it worked with the kids and it was pretty entertaining and with persistence led to great connections. 

The question was just: "What's been on your mind lately?" The 7 year old's answers were pretty hilarious. "Well, I've been thinking a lot about me in a world full of candy." (plenty of follow-up questions). And what else has been on your mind? "I've also been thinking about me being the queen and Rapunzel being the princess." (definitely more follow-up questions) "What's the most important thing that's been on your mind? I won't share that answer because it's more personal about friendships but just to say that persistent asking led us through her imagination to deeper feelings about friends and a great chance to connect.

My 11 year old thought it was random but she went with it and we ended up making a plan to purchase some yarn and try our hand at making scarves together. So there ya go! 

Have you found any great questions that work for getting your kiddos to open up and talk about what they've been thinking about?

Newborn Sessions | What to Wear | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2021/3/newborn-sessions-what-to-wear-vancouver-wa-photographer As you are getting ready for your newborn session, here's some great news...you don't need to buy any expensive fancy clothes for your photo session! Simple, neutral colors allow your images to focus on the connection between you and your loved ones. Dads always look great in a t-shirt and jeans and if a button-up is a more comfortable style, these will look nice as well. Moms, if you are nursing, keep that in mind and choose something that will make that as easy as possible, especially if you'd like to take a few nursing photos. A long flowy shirt and leggings, a t-shirt and long flowy skirt, a tank, long open sweater and leggings are a few examples of both comfortable and attractive clothing for new moms. 

Your baby's clothes should fit well. Many babies will need a newborn-sized sleeper and some babies will need a 0-3 month sized sleeper. Whatever you choose, the ideal outfit keeps the focus on your baby, their delicate features, not the outfit itself. I actually have the sleeper in the 1st and 3rd images available to borrow if you'd like to use it. 

Here are some images to give you ideas:

Extended Family Fall Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/10/extended-family-fall-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer As a girl who's family is spread all over the country, I'm always impressed when families can get everyone together for a big family photo session. My kiddos are always jealous of their friends who have cousins in town, seeing those special friendships. And if given the choice to visit Disneyland or family, they would choose family. Working to hold on to that value.

Roof Top Family Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/10/roof-top-family-photos I've photographed seniors on top of this parking garage several times but never a family and I'm so glad the mama mentioned giving it a try! I just love how these turned out. If you want a more urban look, it's a great option for kids because you don't have to worry about being near a road with cars driving by or even being busy with lots of people around. And for the record, I'm aware that this session is an overshare, but it just made me smile editing it and I thought you should get to smile, too. So here you go...

Photographing Families with Older Children | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/10/photographing-families-with-older-children-vancouver-wa-family-photographer One thing I so appreciate about many of families I photograph is that they totally get the fact that it is still important to keep photographing their families even after their young children have grown into teenagers.  It's true that teenagers don't always love having their photograph taken but in my photo sessions, I focus on connections and trying to help families just enjoy being together rather than stiffly smiling at the camera. I might use movement to help your teens relax like taking a walk together or I might encourage you to just have a conversation together about something you enjoy doing as a family. I totally remember how awkward I felt being in photos (and truthfully, still do) so my goal is to try and help your teens relax and be themselves as much as possible.

Self care | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/10/self-care-vancouver-wa-family-photographer My husband walks in during my work meetings occasionally (thanks Covid and remote learning) and he says we are ALWAYS talking about our feelings. He's not wrong. As we talked about self care today I was thinking about how much I appreciate my photography business because it is a great source of fun for me where I can just forget about whatever stress might be on my mind and focus on the people I'm with. Plus when I hear back from families, almost always moms, that they love their photos or I've captured their kiddos personalities, or they appreciated or enjoyed the time with their families while we were together, I know I've brought them joy and that is even better.  

I am incredibly grateful for my clients, particularly my clients who keep coming back year and after year and trusting me to capture their family's connections because honestly, it's just fun and refreshing for me. And even though I'm having pretty significant shoulder issues right now and struggle to drive home after every shoot and my husband keeps asking me when I'm going to stop, I just keep saying, "When the season is over," because I can't imagine giving it up. 

So when Stephanie reached out and said, "Can we try photos IN the water this year?", I was like, "Um yes!" Because that just sounded like a good time. And I must say, it was quite entertaining. Note for future planning: The rocks are rather slippery...ha!

Do you have something that helps you manage stress, connect with others or just makes you happy? Drop it in the comments!

Remote Learning Part 3 | Family as First Teachers | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/9/remote-learning-part-3-family-as-first-teachers-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I recently heard this fabulous educator and writer, Zaretta Hammond, talk about honoring families as student's first teachers. Then she went on to talk about all the things we've been teaching our kids since they were tiny humans.

I would bet, without realizing it, you already know one of the most helpful educational strategies at a teacher's finger tips. We call it "Gradual Release of Responsibility." Did you potty train your little ones? Teach them to use a fork? Put their coat on? Brush their teeth? I'm guessing you used a version of the Gradual Release of Responsibility to teach your child do these things. And now, those same teaching skills will come in handy as you support you kiddos to learn to navigate their tech tools, follow their daily schedules and the many other things you may be guiding them through right now. 

Family at Daybreak park in Battle Ground, WA

It's very simple: 

I do. Watch me do it. 

We do. Let's do it together.

You do. Now you try it and I'll be here to support if needed for a time. 

Here's an example:

My daughter had to learn to navigate between 2 platforms to see assignments, complete assignments and then mark assignments as finished. I counted at least 10 steps for each assignment (not including the assignment itself). The first time I showed her how while talking about the steps. The next time several times she managed the device while I talked her through the steps one at a time. I slowly told her less and less. She can now find her assignments, complete and submit them and mark them as complete all on her own. 

The end goal is ALWAYS independence.  So here's a couple of tips:

  • Think about things you don't want to still be doing for your child in a few weeks. Focus on those things to start gradually releasing to them. 
  • Start with the assumption that they CAN. If they are struggling, spend more time in the "we do." 
  • Don't answer questions they can answer for themselves. Sometimes they are just in the habit of asking when they could just find the answer if they took a minute. Try this, "What have you already tried to find the answer?" Encourage them to try 2-3 other things before asking you. Monitor their frustration level when using this tip. Productive struggle is the key. 
  • Don't answer, "Is this right?" right away. Ask your child what strategy they could use to confirm their own thinking. If they're asking about spelling, could they circle the word and check it later through a google search? If it's a math problem, could they try an alternate strategy and see if they still get the same answer? Just this week my youngest was sorting fiction and nonfiction books and she looked to me for confirmation and I just said, "you tell me, is it right?" She can confirm her thinking by naming the features of nonfiction/fiction books. She doesn't need me to do that for her most of time.

And now another fabulous Vancouver family connecting in the beautiful outdoors as we soak up these last few moments of summer.

Growing Independent Learners in Remote Learning Part 2 | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/9/growing-independent-learners-in-remote-learning-part-2-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Family playing by the river at Daybreak Park in Battle Ground, WA.

Well, we've all had about a month of remote learning under our belts! How's it going for you? I'm pleased to say that my kids are doing a great job logging into their classes and accessing their assignments pretty independently. Now, getting my 6 year old to stay focused on reading and writing for longer periods of time without my intervention...that's still a task we're working on! So today, let's talk about growing independent writers. Here's some ideas that I've used with kids in the classroom that I think might help at home, too, if you want to give them a try!

Independent Spelling Strategies

You may not believe but I could get an entire class of 6 year olds to write without ever asking me how to spell a word. Impressed? It takes some time and some diligence. 

1) Keep a writing folder for writing resources. Depending on the age/needs of the child this might include: an alphabet chart with pictures, an alphabet table with space to write words the child is learning to write, sticky notes for on-the-spot word banks. 

2) Pick a few words at a time to actually teach them to spell correctly. Focus on high frequency words like: the, he, she, my. Google: 1st grade high frequency words. Or ask your child's teacher what words they should be learning.  Or better yet, watch their writing and choose words they are trying to write regularly. Write those words into their Alphabet Table. Have them use the table to spell them correctly. Have them circle those words in their writing and fix them when they are not correct. 

3) Create a word bank or use a book as a spelling resource. Before they write, ask the what topic they are writing about. Think about a few longer/more complicated words they might need to write. Write them on a sticky note and leave them with them. Sketch a picture next to the word for students who aren't reading yet. Or if they are writing about a book or nonfiction topic, have them use the book as a resource to help them spell. 

4) Teach them to stretch out longer words. I have my students say the word very slowly while touching their fingers to their thumb to count how many sounds they hear in the word. Then they write the sounds they hear. They can use pennies or buttons or beans to "push" the sounds they hear also, then count how many sounds they "pushed" forward. We call this encoding. When kids read, they decode. Saying the sounds in words they see. When they write, they listen to sounds they want to write and then write the word. Encoding makes them a better reader and it's REALLY important we let them do this work. Their alphabet chart will help. As they start this process, some students will have only the beginning sound to represent a word. This is okay. They might then have the beginning and ending sound. Eventually we want them to have the middle sounds represented as well. 

5) Clap the syllables. Every syllable has a vowel. When words are longer, I teach them this strategy. When they understand the difference between a consonant and vowel (a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y), they can learn that every syllable in a word has a vowel. This will help them get even closer to having every sound present in the word. 

Once they have a set of strategies, here's the key...REFUSE to help until they try at least 2-3 strategies. Eventually they stop asking. 

OH, one quick bonus tip for younger writers: I call it MAGIC LINES. This is for students at the beginning stages of writing. They say a sentence they want to write. You count the words with them while they say it. Then use a marker to make a line on their paper for every word they want to write. They touch each line and say their sentence again. Then leave them to write it. The leaving part is important. This says, "I have confidence in you to give this a try!" (Don't forget to check back in to see how it went.) The cool thing about this is, eventually they start doing this for themselves. And then eventually they won't need the lines at all anymore. They'll just be able to think of a sentence and write the whole thing without thinking about one word at a time! So cool!

If you missed my last post, you can find it here. I talked about timers and building up time for stamina which will also support your independent writer.

And if you're a working parent like me, barely seeing your kiddos during the day, mostly just hoping they're on track, trying to balance it all right now, hang in there!! I'm not able to do all the things I want to do to support my own learners because I'm busy in meetings and managing my own work, but I squeeze in a quick conversation here and there when I can and sometimes the best I can do is ask them how their day went at dinner and hug them when they need it. We're all doing the best we can and that has to be enough. 

Now enjoy some of my favorite photos from a recent session with a great family! And If you've got any helpful tips to share with me or others, drop them in the comments!

Supporting Your Child in Remote Learning | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/8/supporting-your-child-in-remote-learning-vancouver-wa-family-photographer Are you getting ready to support your child(ren) with remote learning? 

Family at Frenchman's Bar in Vancouver, WA.
 

Yes,  I'm a photographer but it just so happens that I was an elementary teacher for many years and now I also train elementary teachers for my "day job. " So,  I don't know about you,  but remote learning has been weighing on my mind A LOT lately.  Have you been thinking about it,  too? I've been worrying about a few things... 1) Managing my own work and their learning.  2) Will they be challenged enough in this environment?  And 3) Will they stay motivated and engaged?  

If I'm going to manage my work and support them as learners,  I need them to be independent.  And frankly this is better for them as learners anyway.  And while we, as parents, might think their teachers want us to support them in creating perfect work, they really want us to get out of the way so they can see what our kids can do.  So here's some tips to help you (and really to remind me) grow independent learners to help maintain all our sanity. 

Work with your student to create a learning space that works for them and you. 

I already started this step. "What space will help you stay focused on your work and free from distractions? What do you need in that space?" When I was a teacher students had a home desk but they could usually work where ever they wanted.  We called it their "bubble spot." Acting crazy will pop the bubble and that means I get to make a choice for you. Kids would be diligently stretched out across the floor, under desks and tables, in corners,  with a partner or by themselves. And as long as they were hard at work, the choice was intact. 

Recognize that stamina doesn't just happen because we say so. 

Kids don't go from watching TV and playing all summer to suddenly reading books for 30 minutes just because we tell them too.  That kind of stamina takes time to build. If you find your student isn't ready for the full "on-demand" or "asynchronous" time they are given to work, then set goals with them. "Today you were able to focus on your work for 5 minutes. Tomorrow, how long do you think you can try it for?" Amazon has reasonably priced visual timers and there are also digital ones available like these. 

Slip in and out, don't hover. 

Okay, this one is important. Check in briefly,  make sure they understand the task and then walk away, stating confidence in them to try out whatever they are working on. My students often worked hard to keep me around when they were struggling with something. But here's the thing, I don't want to walk them through everything step by step. I want them to have the confidence to try some things without having to check with me every step along the way because failure is okay and,  yes even good!  I want to give them just barely enough to get them "unstuck," and then I want to quickly walk away with a, "I'll check back later after you've gotten started."

Accept and submit mistakes. 

Make sure your student's work is their work, not yours.  It's really important that our teachers get to see what our kids can really do, not what our kids can do with tons of help from us. If everything they submit is perfect, the teacher won't know that your student needs additional support in that area. It's not about grades. It's about learning and growth. Plus, not checking every little thing frees us up to do our own work! 

At the end of the day here's some questions you might ask:

What worked well for you as a learner today? 

When did you have the hardest time sticking with your learning? 

What helped you get back on track?  

What did you enjoy most about learning today? 

What do you need to have a great learning day tomorrow? 

I hope those offer you some ideas as you get started. In the end,  just have a little grace for yourself,  your kiddos and your teacher.  This is challenging stuff and we'll all get through it with a little compassion and understanding. Come back again and I might address my other two worries about remote learning!

Why My Daughter is Looking Forward to Remote Learning | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/8/why-my-daughter-is-looking-forward-to-remote-learning-vancouver-wa-photographer April Nissen Photography

When we finally heard the news that we would be starting school from home this year, I stopped to ask each of my girls how they were feeling about it. My six year old said she was glad. She didn't want to go back to school because recess is scary and kids at school are mean. Naturally I asked her to tell me more about that. 

"They say mean things to me. And two boys pulled their pants down. And there's this one boy who chokes kids." 

And then she cried and we sat for a while. 

My girls often share these kind of hurts with me. Fears, moments, concerns that weigh on their hearts. This is the burden of parenthood. We listen and carry their hurts and we do our best to equip them with the strategies they need to address the challenges they face each day and we hope our compassion and their relationship with God is enough to overcome the things that sometimes overwhelm them.

I was a teacher and I know how challenging it is to problem solve with many children each day when you're also trying to teach and I can only imagine the challenge of doing this at recess with 100+ kids. We teach kids about big problems and little problems and then we try to give them the tools to solve their own little problems so that we don't have to intervene with every little thing. I do the same thing with my girls at home. I want to raise independent, strong girls. 

But here's the rub. Those little problems don't feel little to them. And many children, sensitive children in particular, hold on to them and when they are taught to never tattle, they also fear just talking with someone about what's weighing on their hearts. And then it bubbles over, sometimes into sadness and other times into anger and acts of aggression. I've certainly seen it in my girls when I ask them, "Did you talk to someone about that?" And they respond, "I'm not supposed to tattle."

This is why we can't just have hard and fast rules about how we deal with kids. Zero tolerance tattling doesn't work because what feels like tattling to us is sometimes just needing to be heard. Compassion, let me see you as a human being, treat you as an individual, this builds trust and provides safety. I'll admit, this is not my natural tendency, especially in times of stress. My kids know, when I'm stressed, I fall back on rigid routines and expectations and poor listening skills.

But this is what I really want to work on. The ability to just see people and hear people, especially my kids. I don't want to solve their problems for them. They can do that. But I want them to know when they need to just feel heard, I'm there. Everybody needs that.

Now enjoy these photos of my sweet friends and their beautiful daughters.

Best Time of Day for Family Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/8/best-time-of-day-for-family-photos-vancouver-wa-family-photographer In the photography world, we like to talk about "golden hour."  It's this beautiful time about an hour before sunset when we get this gorgeous glowy sun that we can place behind the subjects we are photographing. You really can't beat this time of day for photos and I rarely take photos at any other time of day. But as you know, in the summer, this gets pretty late for little ones and for some kids, this can be a challenge for various reasons. I do have a blog post that shares ideas for how to prepare your kids for an evening session, but for kids who consistently go to bed right at or near 7, even these tips might not make for a happy kid during a 7 o'lock photo session. 

So what's the next best option if golden hour won't work? Schedule a morning session as close to sunrise as possible. 

This family session was taken between 9:30 and 10:30 in the morning. You can see, the sun is already pretty high in the sky so you won't see sun flare in the background like you might in a sunrise or sunset session, but it's still low enough that we were able to get photos that aren't covered in midday shadows.  

Location considerations for a morning session:

Choose a location that has something to help diffuse the light. Trees work great! 

Now enjoy this adorable family who had a great time exploring the beautiful Columbia River Gorge with me this weekend!

Best Locations for Senior Photos | Vancouver, WA Senior Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/8/best-locations-for-senior-photos-vancouver-wa-senior-photographer BEST LOCATIONS FOR SENIOR PHOTOS IN VANCOUVER, WA

APRIL NISSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

Senior Girl in Vancouver, WA Field

After choosing your photographer, deciding on what to wear and where to go are the two biggest decisions you'll make. 

Here are some tips to help you decide on the best location for your Senior photo session. 

  • Do you have a favorite place? Maybe it's a place you spend a lot of time with friends, enjoying the outdoors? A place you will feel relaxed and "at home." 
  • On the other hand, are there places you really dislike? Hate the feel of tall grass or maybe you're allergic to bees? 
  • Having a variety of options in one location or very close by locations saves time driving if you would like to incorporate more than one different backdrops into your session.

 

Here are the different types of locations or backdrops available for your photo session:

FIELD

I have several fields I shoot in, depending on the time of year. A couple of them have a garden near by and one even has a water nearby. If you choose field as your location, we'll decide together which one is the best option, depending on the time of year and time of the session, based on the light.

GARDEN/ORCHARD

There are a couple of great gardens in Vancouver that both have an orchard and field right nearby. Beautiful locations for photos filled with color and tons of variety in your photos.

RIVERS/BEACH

We have a lot of sandy/rocky beach areas in Clark County that make beautiful backdrops at sunset.  Up until sunset, most can be pretty bright so we usually save these photos until the end of our session on sunny days.

MOUNTAIN (about 50 min outside of Vancouver)

I absolutely adore this location and I only take a few people here each year because it is a long trip. It can be quite windy but if you are up for the adventure, the views are absolutely gorgeous. It's an easy walk with a variety of "looks." And I suppose technically you aren't "on a mountain" or "in the mountains" but it's a much more mountain feel than anything we get in Vancouver!

PARK WITH TREES

Of course there are just beautiful trees all around us and if that's what you're looking for, we can definitely find them! I have several parks or park-like locations that I photograph regularly with beautiful trees, especially in the fall.

URBAN

Okay, as urban as it gets in downtown Vancouver. Tops of buildings, walking downtown, against old buildings. There are a some great spots for an outdoor session that's more urban and less nature if that's what you're looking for!

Working Mom Musings | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/7/working-mom-musings When I first met this sweet family, I was the middle sister's preschool teacher and motherhood wasn't really on my radar.  A lot has changed in 13 years! I'll never forget the advice my co-teacher gave me back then when I shared that I couldn't see myself as a stay-at-home mom. She said,

"There are great stay-at-home moms and there are great working moms. There are bad stay-at-home moms and there are bad working moms."

She also shared that one of the most important things to remember as a working mom was to not let the guilt of working cause you to be lax in how you raise them. I get this now. The last thing you want to do is spend the little time you have together, allowing them to experience the negative consequences of their poor choices. I feel bad enough for being gone and I just want our time together to be "happy." But time has flown by since this beautiful woman was a 3 year old in my class. I read somewhere that we have about 18 summers with our kids at home.  I'm so thankful for this advice because I've always remembered it and although I've failed at times, I keep working on not allowing the guilt of being gone keep me from trying to raise the kind of humans my husband and I pray they'll be.

I've learned being a working mom not a "go it alone" activity. (No form of parenting is!)

I've always been strongly independent and pretty terrible at asking for help. But I am BEYOND grateful for my friendships these days and I couldn't begin to work and parent without them. I remember when my kids were super young feeling like Pinterest and social media totally set moms up to compete for "best mom" status rather than actually connect and support each other in the hard stuff, the real stuff.  I adore my "keeping it real" female friends.

Speaking of keeping it real, square shaped cheese tastes the same as star shaped cheese and doesn't waste anything.

Homemade bubbles don't work as well as store bought ones and kids don't feel special because you took the time to make them. They just want to spend time blowing bubbles with you. Pinterest is a liar. It makes us feel like we aren't good enough. Don't do enough. If we really loved our kids, their bedrooms would look as fancy as the ones on Pinterest and their birthday parties would be just as perfectly designed like we'd hired a party planner and we'd spend hours and hours every day sitting and doing dozens of art projects with them. You know what my kids like? Playing Mancala. Over and over and over again. And reading books. And laying in bed talking about what's going on with friends at school. Just time.

Trying to not hurry the stages.

I remember when I had toddlers, there were a few moms with older kids who told me every stage has its own challenges and to just enjoy each stage. I secretly wanted to punch them. Having a toddler is crazy hard and anyone who says having elementary-aged kids is anything like having a toddler, has forgotten what toddlers are like...my 6 and 10 year olds can get in the car by themselves and buckle themselves in. That alone is AMAZING. Oh and they can get dressed and brush their teeth and hair and do a pretty great job bathing themselves. HOWEVER, now that they are in school I swear the years are FLYING by. I just feel like I need to soak them up. So yeah, I suppose I can see why some might want to slow it down in the early years. I said some. I did not say me. ;-) But I will admit I haven't made it to the teenage years yet, so we'll see...maybe those are more like toddlerhood. I'm certainly in no hurry.

Just doing the best and I can and praying.

When my oldest was a baby she nursed constantly and barely slept. I was just starting my first year of teaching elementary school and was exhausted and wasn't sure when it would end and everyone had an opinion about what we should do to get her to sleep. Eventually I followed the doctors suggestion. Stop nursing at night and let her cry. It worked. It didn't feel right. And of course every expert has warnings, let them cry and you ruin them forever. Don't let them cry and you ruin them forever. With my 2nd, I decided I would just trust my instincts and do what felt right to me as a mom. I nursed her until she was almost 2 years old. I rarely read parenting books and when I do, I take what makes sense for my family and toss the rest, no longer worry about what others might think. In the end, I know I have to trust God with my girls and just do the best I can. That has helped relieve a lot of guilt around being the perfect mom and doing the "right" thing all the time. I don't think there's one right thing. We're all just doing the best we can.

Getting over the need to look good in photos to be photographed.

Not really about being a working mom I suppose but I want my kids to be able to look back and see me in photographs. I know time is precious and no moment is promised to us. So make up or no make up, I take silly selfies on my phone and I put them in our family photo albums. And when I'm really on my game, I set up the tripod and use my remote trigger and just hang out with the kids and snap photos. 

If you have a DSLR, it doesn't have to be a fancy one, you can get a cheap tripod and a cheap remote trigger and do this, too! It's actually my favorite way to get in photos with my girls. I've set it up in our back yard where we have a swing set and then I just hold the trigger and push the button occasionally while I push them on the swings or watch them slide down the slide. You should have a setting on your camera in the same place where the timer is that will show a little remote. Check your manual for more information or look online for tutorials or YouTube videos. 

AND, if you have had professional photos of you and your kiddos taken in a while, well then, reach out book your session today!

What is Lifestyle Photography | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/7/what-is-lifestyle-photography-vancouver-wa-photographer You may have heard the term "lifestyle" and wondered what it means. 

It's not really complicated actually. For me, it's a very natural form of posing with a little bit of documentation mixed it. The whole purpose is to look back and remember the moment and see your loved ones' personalities and relationships to each other, not some image of perfection. 

What does that mean for my session?

Most families at least want one "smile at the camera shot" and we definitely will do that. But most of our time, you won't look at me! You'll look at each other and talk to each other and smile at each other. You'll play silly games to help you relax and bring out a laugh and a natural smile. The majority of the session is heavily directed and only maybe once or twice will you hear me say, "Look at me and smile!"

What do you mean by documentation?

My goal is to keep shooting during transitions and to have a little time at the end for you to just be together in our location in whatever way feels most natural to you and I will follow you around and capture it. It might be tossing rocks in the river or picking dandelions, tossing baby in the air or swinging kids between parents. You be you and I'l step back and photograph your connections! 

How can we prepare our family for this type of session?

The most important thing is to not put pressure on them ahead of time. Trust me to connect with them and help them relax during our time. During our session, trust me to guide and direct everyone while you just relax and enjoy being together. When you look back at your photos, I hope you'll remember your connections, not all the time you spent fighting with your kiddos to get that perfect photo.

Preparing Your Kids for Your Family Photography Session https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/7/preparing-your-kids-for-your-family-photography-session HOW TO PREPARE YOUR KIDS FOR YOUR FAMILY PHOTO SESSION

APRIL NISSEN PHOTOGRAPHY Chu-51Chu-51

Hello! Having had my own family photos done, I understand the anxiety that can come with worrying about how your kids will act during the session. Mine are totally unpredictable. They might refuse to participate or act totally silly and make the weirdest, most unnatural faces because they are so uncomfortable around a stranger. So let's talk about how we can help prepare your kiddos for a successful time together! 

Involve your kids in what to wear and plan ahead.

Check out my What to Wear Guide for some ideas about this. Most importantly, involve them in making the plan and keep authenticity in mind. Getting dressed before we walk out the door seems to always be a challenge for church, for school, for photos, it doesn't seem to matter! Those last minute decisions and searches for lost shoes get everyone stressed and frustrated. Lay out clothes, accessories and shoes the night before so you don't even have to worry about the day of the session.

Aug19_ftvancouver-75Aug19_ftvancouver-75

Plan the day as a special family outing.

Our kids certainly feed on our energy. If they sense we see family photos as a chore, they will see it as a "have to" rather than a "get to." Share with your kids that you are going to visit a fun new place to hang out together and a friend is going to take some photos while you're there. You might even consider planning a special family treat like ice cream after the photos, not as a bribe but as part of the evening. If a "new location" causes anxiety for a child, you might consider visiting the location ahead of time.

Ruths-12Ruths-12

Make sure their physical needs are met.

Summer sessions are late in the evening, usually past dinner time and fall sessions tend to land around dinner time. Make sure your kids have full full tummies, regardless of when the session is. They might need dinner or a good snack before the session. The sessions that happen around 7pm can be late for young kiddos so consider a later nap or afternoon rest time prior to the session if possible. 

RoselliRoselli Roselli-19Roselli-19

Let your kids know what will happen.

My oldest child feels a lot of anxiety when she doesn't know what to expect so when I hire a photographer, I show her their photographs and talk about what their sessions are like so she knows what to expect.  Tell them that you'll be sitting and standing together, hugging and you might even play some games together. Tell them they will be in the photos and it will only take about an hour. You can even tell your kids that I have my own kids AND I was a preschool teacher and elementary educator so I have lots of experience hanging out with super cool kids.  In fact, you can even show them a picture of my girls below if it helps them feel like I'm just a mom! 

Aug19_ftvancouver-119Aug19_ftvancouver-119
 

Lastly, trust me to guide and direct your kids to help them relax and be themselves.

Remember, we are trying to help your family connect with each other and be themselves. I won't be trying to force your kids to smile. I will talk to them and try to connect with them and help them smile naturally because they're enjoying our time together.

Okay, I look forward to connecting with you and your kids and creating beautiful photographs together!

Best Locations for Family Photography in Vancouver, WA https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/7/best-locations-for-family-photography-in-vancouver-wa BEST LOCATIONS FOR PHOTOS IN VANCOUVER, WA

APRIL NISSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

Edwards-72Edwards-72

After choosing your photographer, deciding on what to wear and where to go are the two biggest decisions you'll make. 

Here are some tips to help you decide on the best location for you and your family. 

  • My girls always have fun when I take them down by the river. You'll see them in a photo below! They like throwing rocks in the river, dipping their toes in the water and playing in the sand. The river might be a good location for family photos for us because it is a place that brings my girls joy.  What type of locations bring your family joy?
  • On the other hand, I personally love the look of tall grass and I've seen LOTS of kids run through it with no fear, but my girls hate the feeling of the scratchy grass and they are afraid of what might be hiding in it. An open field might not be the place for us. Kids who are allergic to bees shouldn't be photographed in a garden. Are there locations that might make the session challenging for your family for some reason?
  • In the fall, parks with colorful trees are beautiful options. In spring and early summer, fields have beautiful tall grass blooming trees. Consider the season when choosing your location.

 

Here are the different types of locations available for your photo session:

FIELD

I have several fields I shoot in, depending on the time of year. A couple of them have a garden near by and one even has a water nearby. If you choose field as your location, we'll decide together which one is the best option, depending on the time of year and time of the session, based on the light.  

Roselli-25Roselli-25

RIVER/BEACH

Like the fields, these locations have variety as well, including trees and sometimes a field. These can be fun locations for a playful session. 

Cottonwood-46Cottonwood-46

MOUNTAIN (about 50 min outside of Vancouver)

I absolutely adore this location and I only take a few families here each year because it is a long trip. It can be quite windy but if you are up for the adventure, the views are absolutely gorgeous. It's an easy walk with a variety of "looks." We like to walk and pick black berries in late summer. And I suppose technically you aren't "on a mountain" or "in the mountains" but it's a much more mountain feel than anything we get in Vancouver!

PARK WITH TREES

Of course there are just beautiful trees all around us and if that's what you're looking for, we can definitely find them! I have several parks or park-like locations that I photograph regularly with beautiful trees, especially in the fall.  

Forstrom-5Forstrom-5

URBAN

Okay, as urban as it gets in downtown Vancouver. I actually haven't photographed many families in an "urban" setting recently but tend to do more Senior sessions this way. It is a possibility if you are comfortable having children near roads or up on parking garages (I have a favorite little spot!). Seniors often do a couple this way and then head to a nearby field to finish out their session.

Ok, there ya go! Lots of great options for photo sessions right in our area!

What to Wear for Your Family Photo Session | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/7/what-to-wear-for-your-family-photo-session The last time I hired a family photographer for my own family I agonized over what to wear. Not really everyone else in my family, just myself. The kids, I'm good. My husband, black t-shirt and jeans, he's good. But me?? Oh man, I ordered tons of dresses. I hated them all. The photographers I hired always photograph women in these gorgeous clothes that look nothing like me. I'm chill. I'm linen pants and t-shirts and flip flops. Not really photograph ready. So, yeah.  I still look at that those photos and hate what I'm wearing. It was so not me. And I was so uncomfortable the whole time. But I was trying to be someone I saw in someone else's pictures rather than trying to find a way to be myself and feel good about myself.

So moms (and everyone else) first let me tell you, you be you.

This beautiful mom and her boys, she is always stylish. I work with her so I see her regularly and I can tell you, this is what she looks like. I see this photo and think, yes, this is her.  If you feel good in a dress, dresses do look beautiful in photos so go for it! Find a dress that fits your style and then style everyone else around you. If dresses aren't your thing, then be like that gorgeous mom in the first photo and skip it. Feel good and be you. 

Matchy, matchy is not a thing anymore!

And can we all say, "yeah!" No more all white t-shirts and jeans or everyone all in button up jean shirts (I have this family photo of my immediate family growing up).  Color coordinating. Even add some pattern. Have some fun with it! Except neon, please don't wear neon unless you want your face to look that same color! Crazy bright colors do tend to cast that similar color on your skin.

Don't forget about accessories and shoes.

I don't do dress shoes. But I have these cloggy shoes that I "thought" went with this dress I picked out for my photos and the dress was long so you couldn't really see them except when we were walking which happened to be one of my favorite photos and there are those dumb clog shoes that actually look terrible with the dress (which my husband had told me, BTW).  So yeah, the right shoes can add to the look. And apparently the wrong shoes can haunt you every time you walk by the photo, ha! Sweaters, scarves, jewelry, layers are fun.

So what about the kids?

My girls are sooooo picky about what they wear. And we used to get in big arguments when I wanted to take them out for a little photo session. Until I discovered a little secret. They love picking out their own special outfit. My youngest is OBSESSED with dresses and skirts and she puts together some seriously crazy outfits sometimes but I love to photograph them because it is totally her and that's what I want to remember, not some perfect version of her. My oldest likes jeans and t-shirts. My only thing I ask from them is that if we are doing official photos, they can't wear a graphic tee, because it's not timeless.  Other than that, if they work with me to color-coordinating to some degree, then we're to go.  

Some other considerations you might think about with kiddos that I've found through the years with families and my own...

  • If they have sensory issues (like itchy tall grass will bother them), consider leggings or pants. 
  • Definitely don't try out a brand new pair of shoes on the day of the session. Know your location. If there is walking involved, plan shoes accordingly.
  • Make sure their clothes fit well - rolled up sleeves aren't ideal in photos and they usually irritate kids.  
  • Don't feel like you need to buy something brand new! I bet they have old favorites in their closet that will work great! 

Most importantly, don't get in a fight about the clothes, make it a fun activity, picking out something they'll feel comfortable in and actually look like themselves in.

Dress for the season.

You might love that spring dress but if it's 45 degrees outside and the trees are bare, that spaghetti strap dress will feel very out of place in the photo and you will feel miserable during the session.

Indoor Family Sessions

These sessions usually involve cuddling on the bed, sitting on the floor, or snuggling up on the couch. Think about how you'd want to dress to be comfortable doing these things and what would look natural.  It probably wouldn't look natural to snuggle on your bed in your Sunday best. Or maybe that's actually totally normal for your family. 

Ashley-62Ashley-62

That's about all folks! Really, there's a lot of flexibility here. Most importantly, be comfortable, be yourself, find something that you'll feel confident in.  We'll be having some fun together, so whatever you wear, just make sure you don't mind sitting and moving! And if you have other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Family Photographs During Covid | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/7/family-photographs-during-covid-vancouver-wa-family-photographer A little good news...since we've entered into Phase 2, here in Washington, photography is a possibility again!

While some photographers are doing both indoor and outdoor sessions for families, I've chosen to focus my business on outdoor sessions for now. In fact, while my typical newborn sessions are indoors, the beautiful weather allowed me to photograph a newborn and her mama outdoors just this week.

You might be wondering: What safety measures are you taking right now?

Before I step out of my car and grab my camera, I always use hand sanitizer and put on my mask. Typically during a session I'll occasionally move a little one's hair out of their eye or place a hand where I'd like it. I might guide a little one to sit in a certain spot on mom's lap. Right now I'll be asking you to do these things so that I can be hands-off.

Choosing the right location.

Locations with open space that make it easy to maintain distance from others are important. We will work together to determine a location that will work for both safety and beauty.

What do I ask of you?

I'm asking my clients to reschedule their session if either I or anyone in their family has had symptoms of Covid-19 in the last 14 days. When I step out to do this thing I love, I also want to do my best to continue to protect both my family and yours.  Ruths-41Ruths-41 Ruths-40Ruths-40 Ruths-49Ruths-49 Ruths-37Ruths-37 Ruths-34Ruths-34 Ruths-33Ruths-33  

Get outside.

Now is a great time to enjoy being with your family in the outdoors and what a better way to do that than getting family photos in a relaxed and joyful way!

Enjoyed this beautiful summer evening photographing these friends and chatting about our survival of remote learning, working from home and all the things you catch up on when you've been stuck in your home for months. I didn't realize how much these sweet girls had grown since the last time I photographed them until I went and looked at their last photo session. We weren't up for running and playing in the grass with the crazy amount of mosquitos and itty bitty daddy long legs we found along the path (we won't tell them what was probably hiding in those big piles of leaves in the fall session) but we still managed some fun moments. :-)

Sisterhood | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2020/5/sisterhood-vancouver-wa-family-photographer What a surprise last summer to find that a family with two girls had moved into our neighborhood the same ages as our girls. The older sisters love Harry Potter and Legos and hate skirts and the little girls are all about dresses and doing hair, running restaurants and being girly.  It's been great to watch their friendships flourish!

Nohemi and I have been working together the last couple of years so when she shared with me that she and her boys haven't had photos together since they were itty bitty, of course I HAD to find time to photograph them! With a rainy fall, we were so lucky to have an incredibly beautiful fall day in Vancouver.  The rain started just as we drove away.  Nohemi, thanks for letting me spend a little time with your sweet family!

The Best Time of Day for Photos | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2019/10/the-best-time-of-day-for-photos THE BEST TIME OF DAY FOR OUTDOOR FAMILY PHOTOS

April Nissen Photography

Roselli-26Roselli-26
 

What is the best time of day for family photos?

This is a question that comes up all the time for families trying to pick the best time for their photo session. In the middle of the day the sun is high in the sky and it casts harsh shadows. 

The best time of day is about an hour before sunset.

We call this the golden hour. Almost every session I photograph is during this time, including this one. You can see how beautiful the light is! 

Roselli-28Roselli-28 Roselli-29Roselli-29

But in the summer, golden hour is VERY late around here and my kids go to bed early.

It can be challenging for little ones to start a session at 7pm or even 7:30 (in Vancouver the sun goes down around 9pm during much of the summer) but I have found that our sessions are full of movement and snuggles and with the right preparation, they will be okay! A late nap can help young ones and a little snack during the session might also help keep their energy up. 
Roselli-27Roselli-27 Roselli-30Roselli-30

If a golden hour session won't work for your family, then a morning session is the next best option. 

If this is your family's situation, let me know and we will schedule something around nine in the morning, before the sun is high in the sky.

Fall Family Time | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2019/9/fall-family-time-vancouver-wa-family-photographer We found the best field of dandelions and the kids were in heaven.  Well, until the dandelions were sticking to our feet and hands and creating an icky mess. But until then, it was fence climbing, dandelion blowing fun for all.  The best part of family photos is the time at the end to chase the kids around and just capture them together, as they are, at play.  The best locations have rocks to skip or trees to climb or fields to run and play in. I brought my kiddos along with me this time and they were immediately friends, deciding on our way home that they just MUST be penpals with the girls when they head back to their home in Africa this winter. So sweet to see how quickly young friendships bud over tiny things like matching hair!

Elizabeth is a class of 2020 senior and talented musician and photographer herself! We had many laughs walking around the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge, listening to the rustling in the trees and the buzzing of the bees.  It seemed the bees were not thrilled about our presence as we were both quite certain they got louder and louder the longer we were under a certain tree...needless to say we didn't stay long. Thanks for a fun evening Elizabeth and I wish you a wonderful senior year!

The last time I photographed this sweet family was a wedding!  So it was certainly a great joy to welcome a new member to the family.  He is one lucky little boy to have such a wonderful big sister who clearly adores him.  Congrats Nichols family! Always a pleasure!

Beautiful spring evening after a very rainy week in Vancouver, with the Ruth family who is expecting their 4th little one early this summer.  We are all excited to see if it will be another sweet little sister or little brother.  Thanks for a fun evening, Ruth family, and for the chance to photograph your sweeties for a 3rd time! Hunter's faces had me giggling every time I sat down to edit. ;-)

Katy and I met a few years ago when she was hired to teach at my school.  Then my Sophia had her as a wonderful 2nd grade teacher. Sophia and miss Brynn became great friends with many before and after school playdates while the momma's prepped for a day of learning.  It's always a pleasure when friends hire me to photograph their families.  I just love little guy's adorable faces. He didn't give me giant smiles but that little pouty face is just as cute! :-) And those gorgeous fall colors...love!

I was so glad to hear from Erika when she asked if I'd photograph her wedding and engagement photos!

Can't wait for the wedding!

Happy to share a few images from Drew's senior session! Drew asked if we could do the photos where he has spent many of his high school days enjoying an outdoor education.  And it just happens to be one of my favorite places to photograph so that's pretty perfect! He even showed me a few hidden spots I didn't know about. :-)  Thanks for a fun eve, Drew!  Congrats and have a great senior year! 

Oh, and here's a few images of his sweet family.  I photographed them many years ago when the boys were all very young (and I really had no idea what I was doing).  Fun to recreate their jump photo that's been hanging on the wall all these years. ;-)

I met the Morlans when I was teaching 1st grade. Little brother, Jayden, was in my class, my 2nd year of teaching. He still had that sweet smile back then. :-) Pam is also a photographer and took one of my favorite photos of my little Sophia when she was a very little person.

I always enjoy spending time with and getting to know the high school seniors I photograph.  Adelynn is a member of the class of 2019 at Prairie High School.  As Adelynn and I were chatting, we discovered that we actually attend the same church! She shared that she hopes to participate in missions to Africa and be a teacher in the future (which is right up my alley).  ;-)  Beautiful girl and a pleasure to be around.  I wish you a happy senior year, Adelynn!

It was a windy day down in the Columbia River Gorge. Wait, is it ever not windy there??  I have the privilege of working with these awesome folks in the education world so it was fun to hang out in a different setting. It took the entire hour session for little Lola to figure out I was the lady who taught her class a writing lesson last year.  Clearly I left a lasting impression.  Hahaha! Thanks for hanging out Murphine family! Looking forward to more time together this year!

It's possible that I've been bugging Trevor to propose to my sweet cousin Kari for a few years now. ;-)  So imagine my very big joy when he messaged me to see if I would photograph their engagement when I was home this summer.  We crafted a little plan to use them as guinea pigs for some new photo ideas I wanted to try (as I often do) and voila.  All the family snuck in at the end to enjoy the moment and no Lemond celebration is complete without tons of home-cooked deliciousness.  Thanks for letting me share in this moment with you guys!! I will try to wait patiently for the wedding. :-D Love you both!!

I took a little trip out to Wilsonville last weekend to meet Scott and Charissa's sweet new baby.  April has the most beautiful hair and eyes. She was wide awake for much of our time together and loved to stare right at the camera.  Congrats family! She is so sweet and so very beautiful!

Charissa and I taught together for a couple years before she and Scott were married and moved away.  So fun to catch up again and photograph this next stage of their lives.  And isn't she a beautiful mamma?

Is it bad to comment on the weather ALL the time??  Because seriously, March in the Northwest...we couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. Can't wait to meet sweet little April very soon!

The last time I was in Jonathan and Hilary's home was on their wedding day.  Their in-home, intimate wedding was certainly a favorite.  When Hilary texted to say she was pregnant, I was thrilled for the opportunity to connect again and celebrate another intimate moment in their lives. Little Aria is beautiful, sweet and cuddly.  Congrats Jonathan and Hilary, she is just perfect! And thank you so much for trusting me to capture these precious moments. <3

Family Photos in Long Beach | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2018/2/family-photos-in-long-beach-vancouver-wa-photographer Visited Long Beach, CA last week for a bilingual conference and while I was there, caught up with an old friend from college.  We rushed around, chasing daylight, and captured a few photos to remember this life stage.  And how amazing is it that I was in a tank top and totally comfortable!! What a wonderful change from the wet and dreary northwest winter.

And later that eve I was able to roam around Long Beach a bit and capture some of the city.  I got a new Lensbaby Edge 50 for Christmas and hadn't really been able to use it much aside from desperately trying to chase my children around and photograph them with this manual focus lens...tricky!  So it was super fun to take it out and use it for something a little different.

Happy to share a few images of my beautiful friend Sara and her sweet family.  I enjoyed photographing big sister's newborn photos just a few years ago so I was honored when Sara got in touch and asked me to photograph sweet baby Bo.  I love capturing those tiny details and what fun it is to see a dad playing Barbies.  The best dads play Barbies with their little girls. Congrats you guys.  Bo is absolutely precious and little B has grown into such a fun little gal.

The last time I photographed these guys all together, it was 30 degrees out.  I'm not even exaggerating.  It was a surprise Christmas gift for their mom and dad. So, the wind and 40-50 something temps were chilly but quite an improvement! I know I say it all the time, but I do love capturing families year after year.  I met Sara our first year of teaching. Going through the first year together is like experiencing walking through trauma together...it's a bit bonding, probably because no one but another teacher can even fathom what that's like. ;-)  I photographed Sara when she graduated with her Masters in Education.  And then her younger siblings.  Then it was the whole family, followed soon by Sara and Vern's engagement and wedding and not long after, Ashley's baby (still some of my favorite newborn photos).  Thanks for calling me yet again...and thanks for getting together in the Fall and not waiting till December!! Ha!

Family Fun in the Fall | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2017/11/family-fun-in-the-fall-vancouver-wa-family-photographer I moved around a lot when I was little.  A lot.  Most of my memories of growing up are really fuzzy.  BUT I have one memory of Fall.  I believe it was our house at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.  Which seems odd because I feel like big trees don't make sense in a desert area, so perhaps my memory deceives me but I remember a big tree in the front yard with lots and lots of leaves falling in Autumn.  I would rake those leaves but not in a big pile for jumping.  I liked raking pathways around the yard and then running around the paths. 

Our yard here in Vancouver mostly has evergreen trees so the girls don't get to experience those pathways of leaves but these little gals had a great time playing in a small pile of leaves around the tree during our session.  Reminds me that I need to get my own girls away from the house and find some leaves for a little fall family fun!

I had the privilege of photographing my cousin and her hubby's marriage celebration at the end of September.  It was an absolutely perfect weekend for a Fall, backyard wedding.  Beautiful weather, family, and a lot of laughter. My family's property was the most fabulous location for the event.  The caterers served the most delicious chicken I've ever eaten and when the sun went down, we danced the night away.  Kate and Seth, thanks so much for letting me capturing this day for you and for a super fun weekend!

McKenna's mom and I worked together several years ago when she was my student teacher.  I was realizing while I edited these photos that she was the first person to know I was in labor with my youngest.  I still remember being in the middle of teaching when she asked if I was okay.  Just a few hours later I was holding my baby!  We ran into each other again this summer at a training and I was thrilled when she asked me to take her daughter's senior portraits.  McKenna is beautiful, both inside and out and not only that but she's a musician!  McKenna, thanks for being so easy and fun to work with!  I hope you have an amazing senior year!

Just over two years ago this lovely family came back to Vancouver from Indonesia to have their first sweet baby girl and now she is a wonderful big sister to this handsome little guy! So glad I was able to spend a little time with them and capture a few moments with Tekoa during this fleeting life stage. I just adored how he looked at his momma and dad.  And big sister was just perfect.  She clearly loves that little guy so much! Congrats Jared and Teresa! So happy for all of you!

When Teresa contacted me to see if I'd be interested in capturing this day, she let me know that this was a very special event and that the photographs would mean more to her than just pretty images to put on the wall.  I was honored to be there to capture the laughs and tears and provide these lasting memories. It was a truly beautiful day.

And for the record, I absolutely love backyard weddings. Love them.

After a busy week, I am happy to be catching up on some photos!  This year has been filled with families I have photographed since their first little one was born and now I'm so lucky to capture some moments with their 2nd born!  And, do you think these little brothers are related!  I mean, wow!  Twins, but two years a part! I bet Miller's going to be a great big brother.  Nolan is just as perfect as can be (although I'm sure his parents might argue with that in the middle of the night!). Wishing you all lots of fun with your little guy AND a good night sleep, at least every once in a while. ;-)

I was so excited when Alisha's mom said she wanted to do her senior photos on her family's beautiful property. I photographed her older sister there just a few years ago and there is so much variety and the light is perfect.  Alisha's beautiful make-up was done by a gal named Brooke who has done hair and make up for my sessions/weddings several times.  She does beautiful work. Alisha was so much fun to spend the evening with! Have a happy senior year and thanks for allowing me the honor of capturing this season of life for you, Alisha!

I was just so excited when Willem's momma messaged me to photograph their growing family in their Portland home!  He is adorable and so incredibly sweet.  And of course, when you aren't the first born, you get to share your spot light with your equally sweet and adorable big brother.  Thanks for sharing a bit of your day with me and letting me help you remember this wild time of life.

Please forgive the overshare, but how do you choose favorites when there's all this cuteness going on?  I'm so incredibly thankful for my clients who invite me back time and time again to capture their growing family.  Caught up with this Portland family a few weekends ago.  Little Alice is getting so big and I can't even believe how much she looks like her big brother! What a couple of cuties.  Jack is 2 and very two.  Love catching up with other moms in this life stage.  I think God gives us two year olds to to humble us and teach us we really don't know it all! ;-) Actually, maybe that's just kids in general. 

It won't be long until they are saying goodbye to their first baby so we took a quick photo at the end of our session.  Made me realize we need to be more intentional about capturing photos of our girls and my first baby, Bella Mia.  Our fur babies are such an important part of our lives.  I can't imagine how hard saying goodbye will be.

Baby Ryan | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photographer | Sophia Rose Photography https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2017/1/baby-ryan-vancouver-wa-newborn-photographer-sophia-rose-photography Every time I sit and edit newborn photos, my heart beats a little faster.  Maybe it's because I've determined (God willing), that I'm done.  I've passed the newborn stage and the baby stage and really I'm pretty much through the toddler stage for the last time.  I've nursed for the last time.  I've carried a life inside me for the last time.

Maybe it's because when I look at this tiny little being with itty bitty toes and fingers and those sweet little lips and eyes, I see possibility. I see years of snuggles to come.  Years of wiping away tears, hugs and I love yous.  

But most of all, I see a mother's love.  And there's nothing quite like it that I've found.  And it just takes my breath away every time.

Baby Alice | Portland, OR Newborn Lifestyle Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/11/baby-alice-portland-or-newborn-lifestyle-photographer Having a second child seemed like it should be easier than the first. We'd been there before.  Done this.  Got that. So imagine my surprise when I got home from the hospital and sat down on the couch and started to cry.  Not just a little crying.  Seriously crying.  My 6 year old wanted me.  My dog wanted me.  My baby needed me.  I was exhausted and in pain.  And I suddenly realized, it was just too much. 

Ok, maybe pregnancy hormones played a teensy role in my sudden panic. And some of you with 3 and 4 and more kids are probably thinking, "Seriously, two kids and you're freaking out?" But you have to realize, I never even wanted one. But then I did.  And she was (is) amazing.  And I really never wanted a 2nd.  And then I did.  And she was (is) perfectly lovely. 

The roller coaster of motherhood.  The ups and the downs. It's all worth it they say.  And actually it is. It's so completely worth it. 

I met big brother Jack (then teeny tiny newborn Jack) and his family in Portland, several months after my 2nd was born. And I captured him standing up in his crib for the first time when he was 6 months old.  And I celebrated his first birthday with him.  And now I return, a year later, welcoming his new, beautiful, baby sister to the family.  And her family adores her.  Truly.  I hope when Alice looks back at these photos she will see that she was loved from the very beginning.

Family Fun | Vancouver, WA Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/11/family-fun-vancouver-wa-family-photographer My kind of family photos.  The kids got to pick out an activity they wanted to do with the family and then I hung out and took pictures while they played.  I love these.  Really.  I love how they show each of these little people's personalities.  And I love how they show the relationships present in this family.  And yea, we got a couple Christmas card photos, too. ;-)

It Gets Better Mamma But Hold On Tight Anyway | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/9/it-gets-better-mamma-but-hold-on-tight-anyway-vancouver-wa-photographer Before our session Rachel asked me if all two year olds are horrible or if it's just bad parenting.  I laughed and told her I lovingly refer to my 2 year old as the devil.  I mean don't get me wrong, we adore her.  She's hilarious and spirited and we love her to pieces.  But there are moments.  And I wish I could say it'll be better soon but if I recall, 3 isn't any easier and is sometimes harder. 

I treasure the occasional mom who smiles knowingly and says, "there's light..." or "it gets better."  I'm pretty certain the ones who say they'd love to go back to this stage, have totally forgotten what's really like.  The continued sleepless nights (umm...I've been tired for like 6 years now). The hour long bedtime routine: I need...no wait...but...I need....waaaaaaahhhhh....no...one more hug....one more kiss...kiss the dog...no like like that!...kiss sister...kiss the poster...hug my stuffy...that doll....no not that doll!!  Oh and don't get me started on refusing to eat dinner and suddenly being starving at bedtime.  Pulling out the tiny little voice, "tiny bit milk, please" and "pretty please."  And every word dripping with, "How you could you tell me no? Don't you see I'm precious and tiny and in desperate need of milk? Don't you love me??"  And how about the mommy/daddy wars.  Currently I am not the favored one.  I can do nothing.  No rocking, no teeth brushing, no taking to the bathroom in public places. And all I hear when I try to pour the milk or open the car door, "Noooo! Not you!"  

But then again...there's the occasionally bedtime kiss that I didn't beg for.  Planted on my lips with tiny, soft toddler lips.  The hug that's a little tighter than usual. There's after bath cuddles and sick snuggles and watching Frozen over and over. And a sweet toddler voice singing Disney tunes. There's that last bedtime hug and the favorite bedtime stories.  There's uproarious laughter every time we sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider and knowing that we'll hear, "again!" every time we sing it, no matter how many times it's already been.  There's the precious tiny, "little bit milk," that I can count on hearing every night at bedtime. There's itty bitty toes and tiny fingers that caress by cheek.  There's giant emotions because no one has convinced them to hide their emotions yet. There's puzzles and little games and a willingness to soak up any minute I'm willing to give her. Yeah that's the stuff.  The stuff we'll hold on to and remember when the worries change from "why won't they eat" to "who are they spending time with." It's the stuff we'll look back on and wish for when our 16 year old starts acting like a 2 year old again. So mama, it's hard. And it gets better. And you'll want it back.  Well...some of it, anyway. ;-)

Ruth Family | Vancouver, WA Maternity Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/9/ruth-family-vancouver-wa-maternity-photographer I think photographing mommas might be one of my favorite things.  They're beautiful in ways they don't even realize.  And I really love connecting about motherhood.  There's something comforting about swapping stories and realizing you aren't alone in this crazy world of mothering. From daddy's girls to unreasonable toddlers, there's hope knowing it's not just you. And maybe it really is just a stage! And maybe you actually aren't the worst mother in the world! Moms, you know what I'm talking about. Sharing, being open, being real about our experiences...it just might be the best thing for us!! I definitely don't spend enough time with other women in my life stage but when I do, I really love it.  

And oh good grief, how insanely adorable are their girls??

So, Lorinda, thanks for the laughs!!  And congrats to your family as you add a new little person to the mix! :-)

Joe and Rachel | Bridal Veil Lake Wedding | Portland, OR Wedding Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/9/joe-and-rachel-bridal-veil-lake-wedding-portland-or-wedding-photographer Joe and Rachel's day was beautiful, moving and a lot of fun.  Bridal Veil Lake, just outside Portland, was the setting of this warm August day. The lake, the trees, how the light falls as the sun sets...it's just perfect. And the gorgeous flowers by Knot and Fern ...check them out, seriously.  I've started following them on Instagram because their work is just beautiful. And they were great to work with also! 

Congrats Joe and Rachel.  It was such a pleasure celebrating with you!  I wish you both so much happiness.  

And excuse the excessive amount of photos.  Too many moments to choose from!

Thanks Berg family for the privilege of photographing you and thanks for checking out one of my favorite (albeit challenging!!) places to photograph. :-)

Twin Newborn Session | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/6/twin-newborn-session-vancouver-wa-newborn-photographer I love photographing newborns. I love being a mama.  I wish I could have had someone follow me around with a camera the first few months of being a mom.  It's such a fleeting time and you're so tired that it feels like a big haze.  And suddenly they're six or two and talking your ear off.  So, I try, in a short two hours, to be that photographer for others.  Capturing some posed and some natural moments...and even in the posed moments, looking for real stuff.  Because that's what makes me happy. Life. The real stuff. 

Thank you to all the families who've invited me into their homes to capture such a beautifully exhausting time of life.  And congrats to Steph and Darren. Your babes are beautiful and sweet and I adore them!

Lori and Rachelle | Retirement Celebration | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/6/lori-and-rachelle-retirement-celebration-vancouver-wa-photographer This has been a week of celebration! This is one of those, "I'm so happy for you and so sad for me all at the same time," kind of celebrations.  The teaching profession is losing two amazing teachers this year.  It takes it's toll...our profession.  Many don't last more than 5 years.  But these gals have been impacting the lives of kids for a long time.  I'm sure there are countless stories of lives touched by their kindness and their skill as educators.  I have had the amazing pleasure of working with them in my 6 years of teaching and learning from them.  They are givers. Rachelle has lifted our spirits her amazing cooking and coordinating many celebrations for us (you should talk to her about her new catering business, Herb-N-Table!).  I was lucky to be on a team with Lori for several years.  She is amazing at seeing what others need and stepping up to help, even when she had her own things to do.  And she's a kick-ass reading teacher. For real. 

So, here's to these awesome ladies.  Enjoy your rest ladies...you've earned it!!

1st Birthday Sam | Portland, OR Lifestyle Family Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/5/1st-birthday-sam-portland-or-lifestyle-family-photographer Headed down to Portland this weekend to catch up with a newborn client and photograph their little guy who just celebrated his 1st birthday! I love getting the chance to go back after a year and see how life has changed.  Mom and dad always look more energetic and rested, the baby swings and bouncers have been traded out for push toys and stacking toys and piles of books.  

Sam just cried and cried the first time we met so it was just so much fun to capture his smiles this time around! And he is walking all over the place! 

If you've never done a "lifestyle family" session, or an "in-home family session," you really ought to consider it!! If you've ever taken your family out for a posed family session where everyone gets dressed in clothes they aren't used to wearing and kids stay up late to catch that beautiful evening light, you know it can be challenging and frustrating and exhausting.  But an in-home session is so perfect because kids are in their natural habitat! And they get to play!  Yes, we try for some posed images as well, but the majority of our time is spent trying to capture the special day-to-day moments you want to remember about your family.  In our pre-session consultation, Krish mentioned things like time spent in the kitchen, reading books, playing with toys and going for walks.  And she'll be seeing all that and so much more!

LaCenter, WA Maternity | Vancouver, WA Newborn Photography https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/5/lacenter-wa-maternity-vancouver-wa-newborn-photographyi I have spent many years praying for my friend and her family as they have been hoping for their own sweet baby.  Just a few weeks before she shared her news with me, I thought to myself, "not if...when...."  And now here we are just a few weeks away from meeting two sweet babies.  So incredibly happy for my friend and her family!!

Motherhood | Vancouver, WA Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/4/motherhood-vancouver-wa-photographer My family and I went to South Dakota for Spring break.  Driving around town I kept seeing these fields of dry grass that I was certain would make a great spot for photos.  Luckily, my sister-in-law was totally up for some photos of her and her beautiful daughters.  By the way, how does she look this amazing after having a baby just a few months ago??  Love these sweet girls.

Ridgefield Engagement Session | Mary Beth and Jared https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/3/ridgefield-engagement-session-mary-beth-and-jared I have a love/hate relationship with winter in the Pacific Northwest.  I love that the sky is so much more interesting on a cloudy day.  I love that I can shoot in the middle of the day without dealing with harsh shadows.  I miss the golden hour.  And you never know when the sky is just going to open up and pour.  Mary Beth and I had some back up plans just in case their engagement session was rained out.  And yes, she lost a shoe in the mud and standing still while sinking in the muck was, um, tricky.  BUT we got a good 45 minutes of dry skies! And only in the last moment, the rain came down and the umbrella went up.  Jared and Mary Beth were so much fun!  I think you'll agree, they are just perfect and so clearly in love! Can't wait for your wedding, Mary Beth and Jared!

Downtown Vancouver Engagement | Vancouver, WA Wedding Photographer https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2016/2/downtown-vancouver-engagement-vancouver-wa-wedding-photographer My favorite thing about engagement sessions is having an opportunity to get to know a couple before their wedding day.  Joe and Rachel were a lot of fun to hang out with and they let me drag them all over downtown Vancouver! We had rain, wind and sun...typical Northwest weather! ;-) 

Joe proposed to Rachel on the I-5 bridge so we found ways to include it throughout the session.  Congrats you two...can't wait till the wedding!

Abby, thanks for a fun afternoon and have a wonderful senior year!

Seriously, every time. This time I was stuck at a dead end in the middle of a neighborhood, seemingly nowhere near where I was supposed to be! When I finally found my way, I was thrilled to arrive at a beautiful property owned by Ashley's family.  And it was just perfect for Ashley's senior photos!  The haze from the wildfires created beautiful light and an incredible sunset.

Ashley, I hope you have a wonderful senior year!

Personal Project | Remembering Lost Loved Ones https://www.aprilnissen.com/blog/2015/7/personal-project-remembering I went home this past month for the first time since my Papaw died.  His presence was missed.  But I wandered into his shop on my last day and it took me back to when I was little.  The smell of wood, the dust, the cob webs.  I'd rummage around piles of unfinished projects to find something I could paint and finish. In that moment I realized it wouldn't always be there.  I wouldn't always come home to these memories.  So I pulled out my camera.
