Look at this sweet family who gets to celebrate Christmas together for the first time this year! They’ll quickly learn that baby is more interested in the box that someone else’s gift came in rather than the actual toy/gift.  Hah- am I right?! Pretty sure it took a good solid couple of years before our […]

When Rattana shared the names of her two young daughters, I was intrigued as they sounded Hawaiian.   They reminded me of two of my friend’s who have the Hawaiian name “Leilani” in their names. Turns out their family IS Hawaiian!  Aren’t they a good looking family? I’m so glad we were able to capture the […]

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 […]

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 […]

Waaaay back in July when my Dad and family were visiting from Texas, we took a day trip out to Cannon Beach. On the WINDIEST day. It was quite chilly and windy, but the sun was out so, it was pretty.  Sitting here on this chilly, rainy, November day makes me crave a good sunny […]

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 […]

Yeah this is a massively delayed post. Oh, well.  Our first Oregon Zoo experience was on a PERFECT sunny day in Portland back in March. We explored with our dear friends Mitchell, Miles, and Meredith.  The sun was out and it was sunny, but not too hot (at least for this Texan!) Brady had a […]

It was one of those evenings that sticks in your memory for no good reason other than it was a lovely time. We had been to the Oregon zoo that afternoon for the first time with friends to enjoy the amazing Portland weather in March (stay tuned for future blog post featuring images from the […]
