Random Pretty Flower!

When we were walking back to our hotel from Jessica's in Hawaii, we walked through a park that had some gorgeous Hibiscus flowers. I have always loved this flower, but unfortunately, they are so hard to grow in Oregon. So I decided that if I took a photo of it, then it would last forever! Besides... I have a brown thumb anyways, I can never manage to keep anything alive! It would take a lot of talent to kill a photo of a flower anyways!



I have been slacking on my blog lately, but I am trying my best to get caught up-ish!

Sam & Matt's Wedding

Samantha and Matt were married at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Park in Portland, Oregon on August 21st. They were such a fun couple to photograph! Steve and I really enjoyed shooting their wedding!

I recently posted a sneek peek of their wedding, so here are a few more as promised!

Christine Getting ready for her Big Day!

I met up with Christine to take some photos of her getting ready for her wedding day!

Christine and I met when she came into Bridal Exclusives to bet her wedding gown. I was her consultant, and we hit it off right away!

I was lucky to be able to be a part of her big day!

Congratulations Christine and Josh! Have some coconut shrimp for me at Mackey's shrimp truck in Oahu!

My Kiddos!

Call me crazy... Call me obsessed... Call me what you like. My dogs are my world! I do not have kids, so they keep me occupied, and they keep me company. If you are a new blog reader, or if you don't know me personally, meet my children! If you already know me (and my dogs) enjoy a little diddy about each of them! (because you love them too)

Chloe is a Pembroke welsh corgi, she is 3 years old, and she is the light of her mom's life. Chloe is a spunky sporty chick, and even though she throws a little 'tude my way every now and then, I still love her tons!


Ripley is an English springer spaniel, and he is 2 years old. We adopted Ripley when we moved into our house. He is his mom's little boy, and even though he may be a little tubby, he is still my best friend! Ripley Always has a lot to say...to everyone. We thought he cried a lot when we first brought him home... but we soon learned that he is just a chatterbox!

I recently bought some snazzy studio lights, so naturally, my dogs were my models!



My friend Hannah came over and I was showing her my lights. She took the next two photos. It sure is strange to be on the other side of the lens!

Melissa and Sarah at Cascade Locks

I went to Cascade Locks with Sarah and my cousin Melissa for a quick portrait session. There is an awesome little island in the Columbia river right under to the Bridge of the Gods. The island had a staircase that went down into the river which we had a lot of fun with!

Enjoy!

Sneek Peek: Sam & Matt,

Yesterday Steve and I shot Sam & Matt's wedding at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden in Portland, Oregon. Their day was filled with a lot of love and laughter. I have really enjoyed getting to know both Sam & Matt, they are both so genuine and enjoyable to be around. Congratulations you two! I hope you have a BLAST in Hawaii!

More to come soon...

Destination Wedding Photography: Oahu, Hawaii

For some reason, I have been procrastinating on this post. Steve and I had an AWESOME time in Hawaii shooting Jessica & Billy's wedding. They were Married at Makapuu beach, Oahu, Hawaii. The day was beautiful, the sky was blue, and Jessica and Billy are married! Congratulations, you are a gorgeous couple, and you have a bright future ahead of you!





























Their Reception was held in a restaurant called "Top of Waikiki" Similar to the Seattle, Space Needle, the restaurant rotated 360 degrees. For this last shot, I set my camera on a high tripod, and took a 60 second exposure.

Givens Family Portraits

Yesterday I met up with the Givens Family at Edgefield Mcmenamins, in Troutdale, Oregon for their family shoot. We had our first Shoot a week earlier at my house, where we did a few shots of their handsome little newborn. We then met up after the rain went away for our second try. Their boys are so adorable!! Jeff and Shannon, You have a beautiful family. Congrats on your new addition.
Here are some of the shots from both sessions.
