Goodwin Bat Mitzvah| Portland, OR Family Photography| Portland, OR Family Photographer| Laura Santos Photography

What an amazing day and beautiful ceremony with the Goodwin family celebrating Sophie. It was so impressive to watch this young girl present all that she has learned to her family and friends. She read from a 100 year old Torah that was gifted and being restored by Beth Isreal. I loved watching everyone be invited up to see it and be told the story of where it came from.

When I met this sweet sweet family last year they were a family of 4 and then SURPRISE! they show up and are now a family of five! Oh my goodness this little cutie fits in perfectly, has two big sisters that can’t get enough of her and a mom and dad that just want to eat her up! She was sun much fun.

Getting to photograph my awesome nephews wedding??? AMAZING! I loved getting to document his perfect day to his amazing girl . There was something so special about getting to watch two people you love and care for behind a camera.

Dane and Delaney are high school sweat hearts and are truly meant for one another. They have completely become part of each others families and loved by all, have navigated major obstacles together, are each others biggest cheerleaders and the absolute best of friends. Just being around them you can’t miss how much they are in love. Oh and they are the most kind people out there!

The best part of the wedding was watching every single person there be truly happy for them. The guests weren’t excited about the food or free drinks… they were just so happy seeing these two start a new life together.

I can’t say enough about this girl! Wholly cow she rocked her senior shoot! I didn’t have to direct her at all, she had it down. Not only is she gorgeous and super sweet she is an amazing singer (she performs with her dad) !

It was so great to meet Hunter and get to take his senior photos with his twin sister and the family! Having family photos with senior pics was a great way to take the pressure off but he didn’t need that, he was great in front of the camera!

What a perfect night was the fabulous Popma family!! I have known Matt since HS and have photographed him and his daughter before for their band but we finally got to meet up for family photos! We also did their twins senior photos which I will share in separate posts b/c there are just too many. These five are such a great team and have so much fun together. Love getting to meet old friends families!

This group was all about having FUN! We tried to meet up last year but crazy schedules didn’t let that happen so I was so glad we could find a date this summer. The three kids needed no time to warm-up and were ready to go!
