The T Family

I recently did a combined shoot with the staff of Dental Care of Sherwood and the family of the Dentist Dr. Adam Tyberg. Being that I'm slightly afraid of the dentist, the shoot was a great experience for me because Adam and his family as well as the whole staff of Dental Care of Sherwood were so kind and fun. The good news is that in the end I realized that it's not the actual dentist himself that I'm afraid of :) I had such a great time taking photos of this family, they were fantastic and these little girls made me laugh so much...

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday and that everyone had a great and restful Thanksgiving!

The Emily G Family

Emily G is a dear, dear friend of ours. If you haven't seen her work, then you're really missing out, and I know first hand, she photographed Wellington's birth and his newborn pictures and did a fantastic job. I'm so grateful for those pictures and will treasure them always. (click on the links to see each, although prepare to cry if you watch the birth slideshow) Emily is more than just a great friend, I consider her one of my photography mentors. She has been so kind and generous and shared with me the in's and out's of how she runs her photography business, graciously answering all of my random question phone calls. It's so nice to have someone to look up to that's so transparent, thanks Emily.

A few weeks ago I finally got the chance to take some photos of Emily's family. We went to the Tualatin Valley Wildlife Refuge, and although we didn't get the golden lit sunset I was hoping for, it was still a beautiful evening full of fun interactions. As you can see, Emily's kids are super cute, and they have the personality to back it up. One of the first times I met Scarlett was in Chapters. While we were waiting in line for coffee Emily told me that Scarlett had slept in that morning. Before Emily came and sat down, Scarlett came up to me and whispered into my ear, "Wanna know a secret...I wasn't really sleeping." From that point on my heart was won over, this little girl had just told me a secret. She has such a great laugh as you can see in the photos, it definitely shows up :)

Emily thank you so much for everything that you've done for us and all of the memories you've captured beautifully. We're so grateful for your friendship and for who you are.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday!

The S Family!

It's safe to say that this is the earliest in the morning that I've ever put up a blog post. There's a good reason for that, and that's the way that my life has changed since becoming a parent. My time is so much for valuable to me now, and more than ever it's so important for me to have time with my family, so today my answer to getting a little more time was getting up a little earlier. Later today my answer to getting up earlier may have to be an afternoon nap. Here's the full blog post from my shoot with the S family. I always have a wonderful time hanging out with them and little Scarlett always makes me laugh so so much as she's so hilarious and delightful. We did this session at Red Ridge Farms, a gorgeous little bed and breakfast/nursery located in Dayton. You can see what a fun time we had and how beautiful the setting is.

Maryanne, Andy and Scarlett, thank you so much for having me take your family pictures again. As always it was so great to see you guys!

I hope everyone is having a great start to their Friday!
