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 […]

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 […]

This is the second year in a row that when my mom was visiting from Texas we got incredible weather at the coast IN FEBRUARY. It was a fun little day trip with just the boys, myself and my mom. I even got a chance to drone a bit! Of course it was MY kid […]

Do you like to support local businesses?  I sure love my big box stores when it’s necessary, but it also feels so good to support my local small business or even fellow small businesses/entrepreneurs that aren’t local – that have online shops! Yay for the internet! It means SO much to me when folks support […]
