Catching up . . .

My friend Jessie makes these amazing blankets (among other things) . . . thanks to all the Moms for lending us your kids! I'll get the link to her website up as soon as I get it.

Stephanie and Eric are getting married in October - I can't wait!

Always an adventure taking photos of the Dusenbery Family!

More fun with the Nicoli kids!

This is Brody - I had the pleasure of meeting him when he was two weeks old . . . so precious!

Tiffany & Brandon

Jessica & Kenny

Summer!

I have a new daily afternoon appointment: the boys + the sprinkler.

Camping at the coast

We took the boys on their first official camping trip to the coast a few weeks ago . . . needless to say the beach and the smores were a hit!

Julia & Michael

Julia & Michael are getting married in August - I can't wait . . . aren't they cute?

Jacobs Family & Friends

I always love beach shots - now if I could just lose my fear of tsumani's.

Paul & Heidi

Jessica & Kenny

Amanda

I couldn't get a bad shot of this cutie. Fun day of senior photos! Thanks Amanda!

Bell Family

I love it when I get to photograph families over the years . . . I got to take the wedding photos for these two about 6 years ago.

Doug & Stephanie

Are you kidding me?

Can you get any cuter? My dear friend Ginny and her friend Terese let me take these photos of their incredibly cute kids. I'm so lucky . . .

Tiffany & Brandon

I'm not sure how I'm getting so lucky with super fun couples this year, but I'm not complaining. Tiffany and Brandon are getting married in June in Newberg . . . can't wait!

Mandy & Daniel

I had tons of fun with these two last weekend - I'm excited for their wedding in July!

Has it really been that long?

Well get ready folks, I've been busy these last two weeks. Lots of kids families and couples.

Owen

2 birthdays, 2 babies and a family

The birthday kids . . . turning 4

Looney Family

There really are families out there this cute . . .

Reese

Little cutie of the month!

Miller Family

Talk about big fun family . . . Anne and Wink have 8 grandkids under 7.

Chad & Leigh

So much fun with you guys!

Watson Family

If you're thinking the setting here looks eerily familiar to the family shots below (2 posts down) it's because we took them at the same time. And if you're wondering how I got shots of my own family it's because Sarah is secretly a great photographer.

We try to pretend we're part of this family all the time. Thanks guys!

Ivan & Sophia

Thanks Ivan & Sophia for the great day!

The Fam . . .

I know it's been way too long since I've had a post - so I thought I'd start reporting on the busy fall with what's kept me the most busy . . . cute little boys. We got out in the leaves in October for some fun.

Logan loving the swing!

Logan making his attack plan . . .

The fall has been busy, but as you can see, we've had lots of fun outside too. Josiah is 3 and loving pre-school (thanks for putting up with him Mrs. Brown) and Logan is 2 and just wants to be like big brother (although he's already matched him in weight). Thanks boys for keeping me young.

Jamie & Kyle

These two are so much fun! I love the way they interact and look at each other - this was a great day! I was excited when I saw the pink shoes during the engagement shoot so I loved seeing them peek out from Jamie's dress. They got married at Zenith Vineyards (http://www.zenithvineyard.com/) which is a beautiful location!

Thanks for letting us be a part of your day!

Kayla

This is Kayla - my cousin . . . okay, technically 2nd cousin (I think). I went up and took some senior photos of her in Portland last week . . . so fun!

Hello beautiful!

Thanks Kayla - I had so much fun!

Lora

The best lunch hour I ever spent. We got some great photos of Lora for her website. I can't wait to see everything together: http://www.squareonetherapy.com/
Then we saw this cute man crossing the street . . .

Heather

Heather was so fun to do photos with - she has the most infectious laugh :)

Ivan & Sophia

So much fun these two are! We had a great time roaming around Sophia's parents' property then out to a covered bridge close by. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next month.

She is so beautiful!

Thanks guys!

First day of preschool . . .

Josiah went off to his first day of preschool last week - I can't believe it . . . wasn't it just yesterday that I had my little 5 pound baby?

I can just see this next photo in the high school graduation slide show . . . this is going to be fun to watch.

Alex

We shot around town one afternoon in August and got some great senior photos of Alex.

I love how he's laughing in this one . . .

. . . and sliding down a banister is always fun!

2nd Shooting with Bud

So I got to do my new favorite thing the other day . . . shooting a wedding with my friend Bud Bulgin (Bud took the photos at my wedding 8 years ago). I had tons of fun - thanks Bud!

Jeremy & Sarah

Sarah & Jeremy are so much fun, and I haven't laughed that much at a reception in quite a while.

What a fun wedding party they had - a bunch of goofballs!

Henderson Family

I had so much fun with this great family . . . I loved watching them play and just be together.

some seniors . . .

Some photos for my new friend Heather to look through . . .

Andrew & Leah

Leah and Andrew got married last Friday at Leah's Uncle's property out between Salem and Silverton . . . it was beautiful!

Wow - look at those eyes!

Chickens - yes, chickens! Henry had a little too much fun chasing after them.

Nicoli Kids

It's fun to see big sister Madi and big brother Alex with their new little bro Jackson . . . they are so great with him. I'm pretty sure Madi has a future in modeling - she was all about working it for the camera.

Love the faces that all three of them have in the next photo - classic!

Miller Kids

So Brandyn (mommy to these 4) is my hero . . . how she manages life with these cuties (newborn, twin 2 year olds and a 5 year old) is amazing. I'm not sure where the last 5 years went, but Paityn (above) is the big Birthday Girl this week.

Matt & Melissa

My new favorite city - Chicago! Zac and I got to go do some wedding photos for my dear friend Melissa . . . we added a few days on the front half and made a little vacation out of it.

Here are a few photos to tempt you all until I get them up on the Pictage site . . .

I love the look on Matt's face when he first saw Melissa.

I love this photo of Melissa and her Dad just before the ceremony . . . Zac actually caught it so I have to give him some credit.

I couldn't resist this photo of Matt & Melissa dancing . . . they're so cute! And the next one I love because it feels like the world stopped just for them in this moment . . .

Happy 4th . . .

Happy 4th everyone!
(this is Josiah watching the fireworks last year)

Sprinklers

Josiah and Emmy Quarles enjoying a hot day. Emmy's face is priceless in these. There's a lot of love between these two.

Rich & Michelle

A few photos from a wedding we did back in March . . . these two were so fun, but mostly I felt like I was interrupting a bit because they were so into each other (always a good sign).

This special moment caught between Michelle and her Mom almost made me cry . . . until I caught Michelle's Dad just watching the two of them and I really did cry.

Addelyn

We're hoping this one marries Logan . . . are arranged marriages still okay these days?

Jared & Amy

I had the pleasure of working for Vivid Wedding Films on this wedding. I love shooting a wedding when there are video guys there too!

Lovely Family

It's always fun to take photos of kids, and one year olds are one of my favorite ages. Little Drew is one of the happiest one year olds I've seen.

With big brother and the fam . . .

Talked into it . . .

So here I go, venturing into new things. I have to start with my two favorite people to take photos of - my boys. Josiah just 3 and Logan is almost 2 - they're a whole 14 months apart and the best playmates ever.
