Big Sister... almost

Sydney is such a beautiful child; I always think she has a face that could be in a storybook.

And she's going to be a big sister end of January! Whether she'll have a little brother or sister will be a surprise!! How fun!
Doesn't Marisa looks fabulous?!





And a fun little flashback...

What a little Charmer!

Isaac is growing up so quickly! You may remember him as the tiny newborn asleep on the blue antique scale (on my website). Doesn't he have the most gorgeous eyes?
Josh and I adore this family. They are dear friends of ours. Here are some shots I love.

Skyler . Class of '09

Skyler was a great senior to photograph! Here are a few of my favorites.

Precious Faces

This is one of my new favorite photos! I knew I was going to love it the moment I shot it. :)
More photos from this fun session will be coming in the next couple days. Have a wonderful weekend!

Handsome Little Guy

I was so impressed with how this family braved the rain! We seriously shot in a downpour that showed up at shooting time and we used any covered location we could find. Jen has the most joyful smile I think I've ever seen - so contagious. And look at how cute their little boy is! He's beautiful.





We found this funny anger management wheel undercover where we were shooting. :)

Eat Your Heart Out

I love watching my sister-in-law, Chloe, and her mother Monica, when they're in the kitchen together. They work so well together and you can tell they share the same passion for what they're doing. (Monica started Eat Your Heart Out Catering in Portland in 1975.) They talk about what foods are fresh and local, about business, about new ideas. And to sum them up in a sentence, they do amazing things with food. :) Everything they make has so much flavor and is always beautiful in appearance too.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a delicious Butternut squash soup, with kaffir lime and pomegranate syrup that they make. It was AMAZING. I tasted so many different flavors in one spoonful. Monica's soup will be featured in Bon Appetit Magazine in the near future. I hope you'll look for it because this soup is delicious!

I've photographed a couple weddings that Eat Your Heart Out has catered now, and I'm always blown away. Here's a couple shots of what they put together at a wedding I shot last summer.

December Tomorrow?!

Wow, time is flying! I'll be wrapping up editing on a bunch of sessions this week... the last couple weeks I've been shooting a lot, which means I'm running behind in my editing! So thank you to all of you families who are so patiently waiting for your photos. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I have the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite families each year, our neighbors! We thoroughly enjoy our weekly hang out with them to watch The Office on TIVO & our sporadic "tea times". Here's a little sneak peek from their session.
This first shot is just so sweet I had to put it first.

...and the ladies... :)
