Portland Newborn Photographer
Light Filled, love-soaked family, maternity, and newborn photography for parents who want to capture the fleeting everyday magic of raising littles.
Welcome! I’m Elizabeth Hite, a Portland family, maternity, and newborn photographer, toddler mama, chaos navigator, and lover of real, heart-filled moments. I’ve spent the last 8 years capturing the real, joy-filled moments of growing families.
As a mom of two little girls, I’m in the thick of it too. I understand how messy, beautiful, exhausting, and fleeting this parenthood journey is. I create images that capture the way your baby fits in your arms right now, the dimple in your toddler’s cheek, and the way your whole family loves, imperfectly and beautifully.
Because the little things? They’re actually everything.
