When the weather is nice at the Oregon Coast in February, you stop what you’re doing and you GO. That’s just what we did while my mom was in town. We were blessed with beautiful blue bird skies, little to no wind, and 60+ degree weather at Cannon Beach the week she was here. We […]

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 […]

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 […]

The day my mom headed back to Texas after a week in Portland visiting us, we packed our bags and headed to Seattle, WA for a 24 quick trip. On the way there, we stopped to enjoy a picnic lunch I’d packed for us on the waterfront in Tacoma. We stumbled upon a really quaint […]

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 […]

On day two of our trip, we ventured over to Drift Creek Falls for a nice hike to see the magnificent suspension bridge and waterfall! Getting to the trailhead was a pretty drive a little off the beaten path, but maybe only a 20 min drive from the beach where we were staying.  It was […]
