I am still amazed that we can drive 1.5 hours in either direction of Portland and arrive at either the beach or the snowy mountains. HOW AWESOME?! We went up to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood to photograph our friend’s family in the snow. Amy was pregnant with their third child (she just had a […]

On the last leg of our “Tour de Texas” trip in November (read Part I here & Part II here), we stopped in Dallas to visit family, friends, and for a commercial photo shoot.  It’s always a blessing when I can mix work and visiting family.  Our first night in Dallas we dined with some […]

Our first part of a three part trip to Texas in November to visit family, friends, and do a little work began in Katy, TX at my mom’s house.  We tried to make it as fair as possible and spend 3 nights at each parent’s house (my moms, my dad’s, Brian’s dad’s) + 2 days […]

We had a dinosaur themed birthday party for Brady on his actual birthday (Halloween)! The party turned out to be a great success and it was a blessing to celebrate with so many new friends! When we moved to Portland this summer I assumed we wouldn’t have a big birthday party for Brady this year […]

This year was another laid back Thanksgiving at our house. Not as relaxed as last year (when we had a 4 week old baby) when I made turkey lunch meat sandwiches and some homemade cranberry sauce for Brian and me and called it a night.   This year Brian grilled bone-in chicken and I made […]

The most recent 1st birthday party that I’ve had the pleasure of photographing was for sweet little Hudson. His big blue eyes and curls made him quite the adorable birthday boy. His nautical themed birthday party  was a big hit. The party was late in the morning so breakfast tacos, mimosas, orange juice, and such […]

I recently co-hosted a “Sip & See” at my house for a friend in our home group. Judy and Michael welcomed their second little girl, Millie, in August. She’s so precious and petite. Two other ladies in our home group co-hosted with me and were such a big help. It was a nice to hang […]

  I recently made home made potato soup based on my mom’s recipe. It’s perfect for a Fall or Winter lunch/dinner. It’s also great to freeze and save for later.  Add a nice turkey sandwich with this and you’ve got yourself a decent meal.   INGREDIENTS: 5 Baking Potatoes Chicken Broth Water 1 small onion, […]
