Sneak Peak for Kelsey

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful and sweet Kelsey. She was so fun to work with... so comfortable in everything that we did. We loved hearing her Grandpa tell stories and showing us pictures of her when she was born. Can't tell but he is a little bit proud... so sweet. Yes, you guessed it ... I teared up. ;)

We took her everywhere from the "Hamptons" to the peaks of Mt. Hood. ;)
Kelsey thanks for hanging out with us for a couples hours it was really fun to play in the sun with ya. See ya next month when we are back.

Lana & Evan Sneak Peak

Lana and Evan... WOW! What a wonderful day.... every detail I just loved! You are such an amazing couple. You are so sweet to each other and everyone around you, I wish there were more people like you two. Today was a hot one but we made it work, right? I have to be honest and tell you that I have never cried that hard at any wedding.... it was hard to focus and get the job done between wiping tears away. So hear is a sneak peak of Lana and Evan's AMAZING day! Congrats Lana and Evan.... YOU GUYS ROCK!

Heider Sneak Peak

Wheat harvest is my one of favorite times of year. It's one of the most beautiful things that God created, I think. From the rolling hills of gold to the smallest seed that does so much. Not to mention the plant itself is amazing! ... the sound of wheat blowing in the wind is amazing... how come they don't have that on a meditation CD?

Meet the Heider Family! Their farm has a special place in my heart because when I was in college I photographed their harvest in 1999 & 2000 I think it was. I loved the whole thing... family coming together to work hard and enjoy meals together. And with the Heiders there is always lots of laughing and good times.

This year is Kim's 50th birthday (sorry Kim not sure if you want everyone to know that but you should be proud) So it was time to have a family portrait now that the girls are grown up. This year Jill and I learned that "what happens on the farm stays at the farm." I can't remember which one of the funny jokes they are laughing at in this portrait but it is SO them. I was going through and editing for their order session for tomorrow and really wanted to share this one with you. If you know the Heiders I think you will agree that this is so them... you probably can hear them laughing. Love you Mark, Kim, Karlye and Amber! ...way more cute ones to come!

Welch Family Reunion

Finally getting a chance to catch up on some blogging... for a second anyways! A few weeks the Welch family had me come out and photograph their family reunion. It was a beautiful day to get together and celebrate milestones in this family's lives. It was filled with laughter, sharing memories, LOTS of food and a band. I'm currently designing an awesome for them... and I'll share with you the rest of this very busy day and fun filled day! ASAP! ;) Until then here is a sneak peak of a couple of my favs from the day!
