Since it’s now June, I thought it only appropriate to blog about our cutting down of the Christmas tree from last November. 🙂 Finally playing catch up on more personal photos now that I’m officially on “maternity leave/baby watch” for the summer. This Fall we ventured to a different Christmas tree farm than last year, […]

We went on our first family camping trip back in September 2016 to Clear Lake in Mt. Hood National Forest just East of Portland. It’s in a really beautiful area, but beware, there are TWO Clear Lakes in Oregon. Of course, the pictures I kept looking at of the super clear waters were from the one […]

July is simply a wonderful time here in Oregon. This was our second trip to the Sauvie Island Lavender Farm when we had more family in town visiting from Texas. My step mom is a very talented photographer so, of course we took some photos at the lavender farm.  The ones of me (blonde) were […]

To round out the time of my family visiting us from Texas last July… we (Daria and her mom effortlessly whipped something up while Brian grilled) made a delicious dinner for us all and we topped it off with s’more by the fire in the backyard. I’m so grateful for this great house we’ve been […]

This is one of my favorite little “nooks” for enjoying summer in the city… only minutes down the road from my studio in Downtown Lake Oswego! It was a good decision to take my twin 11 year old siblings for a swim in the Willamette River/coves on some sunny days while they were visiting this […]

Our Crater Lake trip continued the next day…. view the first part here. We stayed at Union Creek Resort (cabins) right along the Rogue River (about a 15-20 min drive from Crater Lake). We dined at Becky’s (known for their pies!) on the property for dinner the night we lodged there. You must eat there and […]

Life is has been really fast and full since the beginning of (time) the summer and I honestly haven’t given myself much time to work on personal stuff since then. I shoot (thousands) of images and load them to my computer and let them sit until I get a chance to work on them. I […]

“A DAY IN THE LIFE” photo session…. what is that really? Just what it sounds like! I photographed this family from sun up to sun down one Saturday.  It is one of my favorite sessions to date.  Sometimes it’s difficult to describe what a lifestyle documentary family session is so let’s just call it a […]
