This was the first year we got to cut down our own Christmas tree! Brian is ALL ABOUT the real tree. I grew up with a fake tree (we had a cat) so, it’s been lovely having real Christmas trees since being married.  We drove to a lovely Christmas tree farm, Sunny Day Tree Farm, located 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 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 […]

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 […]

These are some of my favorite Portland family mini portrait sessions from this Fall… This first session was on a beautiful property near Hillsboro out in the country. The property had an incredible little vineyard on it. The surrounding trees were on fire with various deep purples, yellows, reds, and greens. It was breathtaking! The second […]

I am so excited to share this dreamy maternity/family session! We ventured up to the snowy Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood for some photos of this beautiful family. We had so much fun and I’m so grateful this is only a 1.5 hour drive from our home in Portland! How cool is that (especially b/c […]

Our family motto for 2016 is HAVE HOPE. WORK HARD. BE OBEDIENT. We’ve had a crazy year and are heading into a new year with what seems like some cards stacked against us.  However, we’ve chosen to look at these blessings, big decisions, and tribulations as opportunities to glorify God in our growth.  I have to continually remind myself: it’s […]
