This blog is for Stella Maris Photography's current Oregon and SW Washington Based, small business, lifestyle family and birth sessions. I blog about my client's sessions and daily life interests such as Oregon Family, Law Enforcement and First Responders, Healthy Lifestyle, Crossfit, raising a toddler, home life, balance between work and family, clothing and styles, Oregon outdoors and fun adventures within Portland Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. I love finding new spots within Oregon and SW Washington to have sessions for my clients. We have so many farms for Washington County Family Photography and Newborn Oregon and SW Washington Photography. Portland Oregon Maternity Sessions can also be held in so many areas within Oregon and SW Washington.
