Raine's 9 Month Portraits by Christie!

Excuse the slip of his finger. It is a habit we can't seem to get him to break. LOL!

First of all, the cuteness of this guy is getting OUT OF CONTROL! :) It is like every 3 months when we do his photos I want to explode even MORE with pride and love for this little munchkin! This photo shoot was super fun with Christie (Christie Glynn Photography if you are in the Portland area, yo!) because she agreed to meet me at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in Portland (BEAUTIFUL by the way. I want to go back again before those gorgeous rhodies are gone). I really wanted to get some photos of Raine outside, especially now that he can sit by himself. He LUVS to be outdoors, so these are very special. Christie and I kept plopping him down in random spots (sometimes off the path, when no one was looking! Sneaky!) and even contemplated placing him right next to a pond by some geese, but decided he was too quick to do it. I was even a little nervous with our first shot-the one of him on the bridge. It was entirely possible that he could have scooched super fast to the edge (Danger!) He is a fast scoocher! Anyway, he was a great sport and did very well for us. And of course Christie was awesome and we are so very grateful for her talented work. I will always cherish these photos. These are only just a few of Dan and I's favorites..! If you are prepared for more OUTRAGEOUS cuteness, you can see all of the photos from our session here.
