It was a gorgeous (windy), sunny day at Suttle Lake last Summer on our family tent camping adventure in Central Oregon.  You can view more about our family tent camping adventures here and here.   We went out for a family hike/walk along the trail that hugs Suttle Lake and I couldn’t resist drone-ing.  We couldn’t […]

We were so grateful to have Granny P and Grandpa Clif (Brian’s dad) visit us from Dallas about 2 months after Noah was born (late Summer/August 2017). Yes, that long ago – hah. I’m playing catch up on life blogging.  We did a few Portland-y things while they were here, like visit the downtown waterfront […]

The excitement I have for the upcoming Spring/Summer hiking season is massive! It seems the last few summers we’ve always had “something” holding us back a bit like injuries, pregnancy, newborn, etc… It seems like this is our first Summer that we’re really ready to just plow through a huge list of hikes/outdoor adventures. We’ve […]

It was a very cold and wet day in the Portland area. We arrived and all I could think was “I really hope she didn’t wear nice boots.” hah! She looked STUNNING and somehow was able to get through the family portrait session NOT covered in mud. Incredible! We had a blast documenting their first […]

It’s become an annual tradition that when we visit the Oregon Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival I break out my shorts for the first time since the previous Summer. For some reason it’s worked out perfectly and been incredibly beautiful weather whenever we visit in March!!! You wouldn’t know it, but it was super windy last […]

There’s something so special about capturing motherhood that just makes my heart skip a beat. This was such a dreamy motherhood portrait session in one of the neatest (hidden to me) parks in NW Portland. You could see Mt. St. Helens AND Mt. Hood from the top of the park and it was littered with […]

  It’s cliche, but my goodness, this last year SPED by.  It especially makes it go fast when you add another kid to the mix and count life in sets of 3 weeks (Brian’s work schedule). I actually haven’t ever done one of these year end re-caps, but hey there’s a first time for everything […]

Part 2 of our camping trip… You can read Part 1 here.  On our last day in Central Oregon, we headed over to the Metolius River and the Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery before driving home to Portland. Um, look at that water! This is NOT photoshopped, it’s actually that clear light blue. It was also […]
