Cold & Cute

It's been so cold here in Oregon the last few weeks, the kind of cold we aren't used to. I can't remember winters here where it's clear and 9 degrees out with a breeze. I mean what in the world is that about?? Last week Joe mentioned to me that the fountain at school had froze and it looked really cool, I should go with him to pickup a book for next semester and check out the fountain of frost to get some photo's.
When we got to the school there was quite the line to wait in for book return so West and I sat down in the window on the little wall heater but it wasn't on :( The light from the window though was just beautiful on West's little pale cheeks so I pulled out my camera as he played with Joe's IPOD touch and we got some great shots!

Indiana's Holiday

Had a great time meeting up with an friend from High School. Janelle and I were very good friends all thru high school and one of my favorite things about her was her laugh. You could reconize it from a mile away! She and I were meeting to take holiday photo's of her daughter Indiana for the Christmas cards she was sending out this year.

We met on a very cold Saturday morning in Vancouver at the Marshal House on Officers Row at Ft. Vancouver. The homes are huge beautiful vintage homes that are kept up for weddings, events, and photo's at least in todays case. The home was decorated for the holidays. Garlend on the rails of the wrap around porch and decorated trees in the Dining and Living rooms. I beautiful staircase that was dressed in holiday spirit as well and a huge fireplace which made things cozy and warm. We had a beautiful setting for our photo session!

I told Janelle that even though I would come to shoot Indiana that she should dress to be in the photo's too! I know that we adults don't like to always step in front of the camera but when we do once in a while it can be something wonderful for us and for our children.

This beautiful room in the back of the house was wide open with the most beauiful vintage ornate couch smack in the center, I knew I had to shoot with this piece

Maternity Session

I had a great session yesterday morning with the so beautiful Ariane. She and I became friends about a year ago and I was so excited to go have this session with her and her growing tummy. I can't wait to meet her sweet baby.

I'm PUBLISHED!!

I'm so thrilled to share my wonderful news! I have an image published in MF magazine. I had the chance to work with MF magazine and comic Mary Van Note a few months back. She was a total blast to work with and let me be as silly and creative as I'd like. Here's a collage of the shots we got at the shoot to check out which photo they used in the magazine follow the link :)

Lovely Hannah

Today was beautiful, the sun was shining a cool breeze in the air. I headed to a barn just minutes from my home to meet Hannah for her Senior photo session. I was excited to meet her and her handsome horse Dougal. She was a dream to shoot with and we traveled around the barn and up the road to find places to shoot. It was a beautiful day to be out shooting with a beautiful girl, thank you Hannah for being so Awesome! Here's your sneek peek...

Fashion Fun!!

What a great event I had the pleasure of being a part of, SCARLET! A victorian mansion, a dozen or so of beautiful models, and vintage designer wedding gowns! Now really does it get much better?? I had such a fun day shooting with these beautiful women.

BBQ Bash!

I totally suck at blogging and I'm not sure what to do but keep trying to do more.... even if it's just about nothing :)

Luckly I had a great weekend I can share. On saturday I had the pleasure of spending the day at a BBQ, I know really hard work right? It was a reunion/birthday bash that was a total blast! Really warm and welcoming group or friends and faimly and oh so delish foods!

Hannah & Brent

What a beautiful celebration of love.

Ariane & Taylor

Had the true pleasure of spending an afternoon shooting with these two bestfriends. They were so much fun, and they make my job so easy. Check out these 2 beauties!

Katie

Here are some of the photo's of my session with Katie. She was really nervous when we started but by the time our session was done she was all smiles and jumps looking forward to the shots we got. Katie you were awesome and I can't wait to shoot with you again!

My little loves

When I talk about my little loves there only one real thing I could talking about and that's my kids. I have 4 beautiful children that are amzing and beautiful and so stinkin smart! Two of my babies have birthdays in June, my baby girl Emma turned 9 just a few days ago and my little mister will be 2 at the end of the month. It's always amazing how fast the time flies and how much they can change in just a year. For me it's time of reflection and a wonderful celebration. Here are a few shots I got of the birthday girl :)

Mothers Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. I was blessed to spend my Mother's Day taking a long drive up the gorge to Multnomah Falls, having lunch at Char's by the Bridge of the Gods, then heading back home to relax and talk about the day.

MF Magazine

I was contacted from my myspace page from MF Magazine which is music fashion magazine. I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a great female comedian for the fall issue. Mary Van Note was such a blast to work with and she was up for anything. I had an amazing time and hope that this will only be the beginning for me in this type of media.
I'm waiting now to hear if I can post any images to share :)

Tulips Delight

About a week ago I had the opertunity to work with a designer, 2 models, and another photographer. We went out to the Woodburn Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm at sunrise to catch some beautiful clothing in some of the most beautiful light that the day holds. We were so very lucky to have had a small heat streak so the skies were blue and our models weren't blue :)

Here are just a few of the MANY beautiful images I got:

Tulips w/ Family

Friday my Mom and I took the kids to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn Oregon. We have been wanting to go that last few years but they are only in bloom a short while and we never made it out there so this year it was a must. They had so many fun activites for the kids and the fields looked beautiful.

I had my lil model do some shots for me because I was also coming back for a shoot in the fields judt days after and wanted to scout out some good shooting spots and compositions. It was a really beautiful day and it's always wonderful to spend time with family!
