Surprise for Christmas

I did a shoot on the Oregon Coast in August that included 3 wonderful people and 6 energetic dogs! Wow, that's a lot of activity! But, I found if you tire them out with long walks on the beach, you just might be able to get all 9 of them at least sitting still in the final shots!

T contacted me, with Christmas coming up, to make some very special gifts for his mom. He wanted a beautiful print of the image below (mother and son, walking on the beach) and a special little photo book of all the dogs and people together. I was more than happy to do this for him since I am a huge fan of giving photos as gifts for the Holidays!



The mini-photo-book turned out great - especially using all vintage photography!

New Mom - New Baby!

Happy baby birthday to Kristin, one of my prettiest mommas this year! We had a wonderful photo shoot back in October, (when the weather was still sunny and beachy and allowed bare tummies), and today she had her baby girl, Emma. Congratulations to mom and dad and welcome little baby Emma! I look forward to photographing you as you grow.

Sneak Peek

I just had to share a quick sneak peek - my favorite photo from a recent shoot with little Julia in her very own cornfield! How lucky is she to have a great big maze/fort/hiding-place/cornfield in her own backyard!? And how lucky am I that I got to be a kid again during the photo shoot with this little one?!
