We’ve been so blessed with good weather every year for Brady’s home birthday parties – two in Texas and two here in Portland, Oregon.  It’s usually later in the day on this birthday party at the end of October (31st) that The Rain Season begins in Portland.  Well, thankfully this year we had nice weather […]

It seems we have an annual tradition of Brady playing in a big pile of leaves in our front yard (2014 & 2015). This year I captured him playing in the leaves at a nearby school, because they were so pretty and YELLOW! I love when the seasons change around Portland… there are so many […]

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 […]

In the spirit of Brady starting his second season of soccer this weekend, I thought I’d FINALLY blog images/video from his first game. What a fun first season of soccer for Brady. This was his first time playing organized sports. It was a well run league nearby us. He had games every Saturday and I’m […]

It was a very cold January day for Dallas, TX. I had just travelled from Portland, OR back to my old stompin’ grounds (Dallas) to document this sweet family’s day. We had only spoken on the phone a hand full of times before meeting each other early that morning.  A little fact about Lorilei is she […]

Back in August (2016) it was a PERFECT weather day so we dropped what we were doing and headed to the beach for the day. I am SO grateful we live a mere 1.5 hours from the Oregon Coast. What a treasure! We also found our new favorite beach just South of Cannon Beach, called Hug […]

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 […]
