Hannah & Dilly

My friend Hannah came over the other day and hung out with me for a bit. She brought her puppy Dilly along with her also! Dilly is such a sweet dog! It was so funny to see my babies Chloe and Ripley next to her though, she is so big!
I took a few photos of Hannah and Dilly together as we were hanging out in my backyard

(please don't judge me based on the brown grass, and dirty porch, haha)

Jenn & Lee's Wedding

First things first. I am not very good at keeping up with my blog. I realize this. It is something that I need to work on, and something that I am going to try my best to improve on. Thanks for the patience :)

I was looking through my old posts, and I realized that I never blogged Jenn & Lee's wedding. WHAT?? They got married back in October! Naughty me.

Rewind back to October!
Jenn & Lee were married at the Acadian Ballroom in Portland Oregon. They are such a great couple, and so much fun to be around. Jenn & lee are so so SO in love and it shows! Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us! Here are a few images from their wedding.

My amazing friend Elisha came along with me to help shoot their wedding.

Danelle + Josh Engagement Shoot

Here are a couple photos from Danelle & Josh's Engagement session in Portland!

Giving is Awesome!

Here are the details about my Giveaway!

I am doing the giveaway through Giving is awesome! www.givingisawesome.com

You know someone who's experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can't afford custom photography, but who would cherish it forever. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their amazing spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography -- $550 worth, to be exact. I am giving away a 1 hour engagement (or "in-love") session. They will also get a 5x5 10 page custom photo book, and a $50 print credit.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives $100 off of any of my photography services!

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in Oregon or Washington. Tell me who you know, what they're experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : Contact@RebeccaDryer.com.

The deadline of the contest is Feb 14th

The winner will be announced on February 21st-- now...get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone -- and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Becca

Multnomah Falls In December

Steve and I made a trip up to Multnomah falls during a week when it was VERY cold and icy around Portland. It is rare to be able to get up there when it is cold enough for it to be frozen, but have the roads clear. Needless to say, it was a seriously breathtaking sight, and I am so happy that after 20-ish years of living in Oregon, I finally got to see it!
I will let the Photos speak for themselves
Here goes!









Also.. a very rare picture of Steve and I! It is not very often that I volunteer to step out from behind the lens, but I was brave this time, and I handed my camera to a random person to take this photo for me... I am glad that it turned out!

Patricia & Brett...Daisy & Rosie TOO!

I met up with Patricia and Brett one afternoon for a family/doggie session. I had so much fun hanging out with them, and playing with the girls! 'Here are a few faves from their shoot!

Past due Blogging *WARNING*

Kristen & Evan's Engagement session

Kristen & Evan also met me in Cannon Beach for their engagement session. They are from Nebraska and were in Oregon for thanksgiving to visit family. Kristen and I have been talking for a few month over email and it was fun to finally meet her and Evan in person! I enjoyed hanging out at the coast with you two, and finding fun places to take pictures! Have a great stay in Oregon, and a safe trip home!





I took an extra camera and Alison (my sister) took some photos too! The shot below is one of her shots!

Christy & Tyler's Engagement Session

I met up with Christy & Tyler at Cannon beach for their Engagement session. We had so much fun hanging out on the beach and enjoying the beautiful weather! They are so in love, and I really enjoyed being able to capture that in their photos! I am so excited for their wedding day in February!

I ordered my first album from my lab and I received it today! I am so excited about it, and pretty impressed with the awesome quality and customer service of the lab I use. They never fail to amaze me! Here are some photos of the album in all it's glory.
