These sisters were gifted an early Christmas present, a baby sister! Look at how beautiful these girls are with their porcelain skin, dark hair and blue eyes. Gonna be trouble for their Dad one day… that’s for sure!  🙂 I’m so glad to know this family. They are so beautiful inside and out and funny […]

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 […]

Our sweet (& wild) Noah turned ONE! We threw a small-ish party on July 4th (since he was born ONE and a HALF hours after July 4th). Would it be terrible to tell him his birthday is on July 4th? Hah jk. Kinda.   We had some close friends and their kiddos come over for a […]

As a child, I always felt SO special on my birthday. My family always made me feel so loved and spoiled with gifts. While I’m not huge on spoiling our kids with gifts, I do try to make a huge effort to show them how loved they are and throw a big party on top […]

Here’s part 1 of our family tent camping adventures this Summer. This blog post focuses on the time we spent at the campground/Suttle Lake before venturing off to the Metolius River before heading home. We chose Suttle Lake near Central Oregon based on great reviews from friends who visit the same campsite annually. It did not […]

It was a dark and rainy January day as I headed up to her childhood home on Skyline Blvd in Portland…. The wind was pretty crazy. How were we going to get some nice outdoor shots? Welp, per usual, we made it work and doesn’t she look AMAZING?!! We did a few “outdoor” shots in […]

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 […]
