"One life to live
Many paths to take
One twists and turns and falls away
And flowers bloom in brilliant light
And fade into the night
So much to lose
Or so it seems
These idle games and children's dreams
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
I just keep moving on into the unknown"

'Moon'- Eve 6

Have I ever mentioned how I love redheads? No, well, I adore them! One of my sons is a copper. I chose the song lyrics because as soon as I thought of Mr. C, I thought of Eve 6 and the lead singer Max Collins who is also a ginger.

Ben and Chelsea have such a sweet, fun little boy and he is a total ham.  Seriously, just look at that smile! And mom and dad are just as playful as he is! I love it! Makes for such a fun shoot. 

Thank you so much Chelsea and Ben for trusting me to capture your fun, lively family! Go forth and keep rockin' on!

Carlson Family/Wilsonville, Oregon Family Photographer

"Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you."

-'Together Forever'- Rick Astley

It was a mid-October day when I met the Carlson family. We met at Memorial Park in Wilsonville and the weather was wonderful, not too cool and not too warm. The Carlson family were an absolute dream to work with! The kiddos are natural posers, they love the camera! They made my job smooth. 

Jeremiah and Nichole moved here from Nebraska (although I think they are from Oregon). love hearing about the places that people have lived. Jeremiah was is the Air Force, thank you Jeremiah for your service! 

Thank you so much Carlson family for a fun session and for choosing me as your family photographer! Go forth and rock on!

The Lasselle Family Session/Sherwood, Oregon Photographer

"I came to get down
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around
Jump up, jump up and get down.
Jump"
-'Jump Around'- House of Pain

This session was amazing! Bryony's dear friend allowed us to use her gorgeous property. The lighting was dreamy as is this sweet, young family. My favorite memory from this session was how the boys daddy, Grant, would run and jump over their two year to make him laugh. It totally worked. It is something that he would normally do while playing with him. Lil' man LOVED the water. He was most interested in throwing rocks in the water (aren't most boys?).

Lasselle family, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your delicious family!

Go forth and rock on! 

Sorensen Family Session/Newberg, Oregon Photographer

"There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary"

-'My Hero', Foo Fighters

When I think of the Sorensen family, the word 'hero' comes to mind. Why? I am so glad you asked. =) Colin and Amy do so much for the Newberg community. Colin is a firefighter and Amy volunteersat the Newberg Animal Shelter (looking to adopt a fur baby? Check them out please http://newberganimals.com/). Giving of yourself to help others is a hero in my eyes. Thank you Colin and Amy for all that you do!

This session was not only a family session but also a milestone session. Mr. P turned one! I think lil man looks so much like his daddy, do you agree? He was so happy and he absolutely was enamored with the bubbles which was fun to watch. I think bubbles are pretty darn cool too! 

What was even better about this session is that Amy gave me two boxes of delicious KIND bars! Yum! The apricot ones are my favorite. 

Thank you Sorensen family for choosing me! Go forth and rock on! 

Khamnohack Family Session/Hillsboro, Oregon Photographer

"To score a ten would be just fine
But I'd rather be dressed to the nines
It's a truth you can't refute
Nothing suits me like a suit
Picture a world where all the girls and boys
Are impeccably well dressed
That delivery guy in the jacket and tie
That puppy in the double-breast
That '80s dude in mutton chops
That baby with a lollipop
That lady cop who's kinda cute"


-'Nothing suits 'em like a suit' from 'How I Met Your Mother"

Seriously, how smooth are the Khamnohacks? Not only do they look smooth but their session went super smooth too! We met at Rood Bridge park in Hillsboro and it was so lovely.

This session was done late September 2015. Yes, I am 3 months behind in blogging. Yikes! In my defense, I did not want to ruin anyone's holiday cards and it was the busy season. But I will be banging them out this winter! With the session is where I learned a new way to get kiddos involved in the session, play catch with the dog toy. Total hit with the wee ones even though my aim is awful!

 

Thank you Khamnohack Family for a fantastic session.Go forth and keep rockin' on! 

The Card Family Session/Newberg, Oregon Photographer

"You got all of my attention
And you ain't even trying
Yeah, you're my kind of different
And I never seen nothin'

Nothin' like you
Shades on spinning in a summer rain
Dancing when there ain't no music
Just the right kind of crazy, baby
Something about you"

- Dan + Shay, "Nothin' Like You"

A family that dances together....has a blast together.  This early Fall session at Camp Tilikum in Newberg was such a blast. I enjoyed the free flowing movement of the session.  The Card family spent the time of our session enjoying each other, playing and acting silly. Acting silly, in my opinion, makes for great photos, memories. =)

Thank you Card family for choosing me to photograph you! 

Go forth, dance and rock on! 

Selby Family Session/Sherwood, Oregon Portrait Photographer

Not to touch the earth, not to see the sun
Nothing left to do but
Run, run, run
Let's run, let's run

House upon the hill, moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me let's run

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

-The Doors, 'Not to Touch the Earth'

I am lucky to call Brenda my friend. She is a blast to hang out with. Easy to talk with, chill, funny, a runner, smart and positive.  She is a strong woman.  Brenda and Jeff have been together since they were babies! Ok, maybe not that long but since they were teens. And the Selby family have been supporters of my little business ever since my first year.  And I am ever so grateful. 

This session was smooth sailing. The kiddos were as sweet as can be. My favorite part was at the end when Miss. A and Mr. M were telling each other silly secrets and making each other bust into giggle fits. The best! 

Thank you Selby family for supporting me! Go forth and keep on rockin'!
