beautiful girls

dressed in vintage

with bold bright eyes

blushed and bronzed cheeks

freckles like niccis

& whispy hair

against faded aqua blue and gray and yellow

This was an amazing weekend for me. Friday night was Alyssa and Shanes wedding. I went to take candid shots as well as to wrangle the kids. Saturday was Allyson and Tyghes big day. This was my first wedding all by myself!! Scary at first, but so much fun! Soon to come are pictures from Theos first birthday! bullfrogs and cupcakes such a fun birthday party

another time and place

i am loving these pictures from my grandparents dating days. there were quite a few pictures of this baby--i think they were havin a little photo shoot :) thanks sarah for putting all of this history together!


she was beautiful

i dont know if there are many things in the world that are better than sisters.

only a few...

there is a commercial running on local channels around here right now celebrating oregons 150th birthday. its one of those really well written, easy to listen to type tv commercials. it says something to the effect of "..oregons turns are just like letters unfolding from an envelope of love.." i have driven those scenes and it is like no other. sorry to those of you on the east coast. oregon is whats up.

really if you havent driven the historic highway yet through the Columbia Gorge you should asap. i cant wait to go with cody and explore so much more--instead of just driving through on a holiday weekend.
great practice with lil nokin

some of codys shots.. he is getting prehttty good!

finally

my first photo shoot is in the books. it was such a fun day with these girls.





a tea party was the only thing on the agenda...they like things fancy :)










my faves!
