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 […]

We dined at Becky’s (known for their pies!) on the property for dinner the night we lodged there. You must eat there and […]

We experienced our first Portland snow at the beginning of January. It’s pretty unusual that it heavily ices or snows here in Portland, but naturally our first year living here it did. We enjoyed a warm wood burning fire inside and played outside for a few minutes. We built a (pretty ugly) snow man. Us […]

Our second leg of our “Tour de Texas” trip  (read Part I here) was North of my mom’s house in Katy, TX about 3 miles to my dad’s house. We always enjoy our time over there with my half brother & sister, a few animals, and there’s always some cool home improvement project taking place. This […]

“A DAY IN THE LIFE” photo session…. what is that really? Just what it sounds like! I photographed this family from sun up to sun down one Saturday.  It is one of my favorite sessions to date.  Sometimes it’s difficult to describe what a lifestyle documentary family session is so let’s just call it a […]

We are usually blessed by my step-mom (who’s a photographer) or another family member who snaps some family pictures of us at the beach on our usual annual beach (extended) family beach vacation during the summer. However, this summer was different since we just moved to Portland, Oregon in June. This year’s annual beach vacation […]

We were blessed to spend my 30th birthday at the Oregon coast in the dreamiest neighborhood in Lincoln City at Olivia Beach.  Before we  moved to Oregon we reserved this cute little “tiny” cottage back in the late winter/early Spring.  I’m grateful for my husband who likes to treat me for special occasions like this. […]
