Our house is still dripping with candy and I don’t see it going away until summer. Once Halloween comes the holidays, which keep the kids fully stocked, hit at a regular clip until Easter.  My oldest is the type who will finish his last piece of Halloween candy the day before trick-or-treating again.

…these are a few of my favorite things.  What fun it has been for me to package orders which have been heading out the door. Thought I would share a photo of the brown packages I really love getting ready for my clients.  If any of you are looking for a Christmas gift, I could […]

“Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” — “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery I am pretty sure my heart grows three sizes, just like the Grinch, each time I spend time with adorable families […]

A broken window and old peeling posters, an olive wall, a loading dock.  It was fun to see where the afternoon would take us. Katie was a trooper through the heat until a brief nap in […]

Photography comes to me through my heart. When I am able to spend time with people and start to see into their hearts is when magic can happen. I love this first image of Evelyne.  It speaks to a part of me which longs to be carefree and childlike in my adult world. When I […]

Stacie and Keith chose the perfect site for their wedding. The setting at Five Pine Lodge in Sisters, Oregon was awash in wildflowers and classic craftsman design. A simple outdoor ceremony was graced with a gentle summer breeze and the golden glow of evening sunlight. I am so grateful to have been a part of […]

Babies are so fun to photograph outside.  They seem to appreciate the change of scenery and the fresh air. I love to see their chubby toes buried in the grass. The summers pass a million times quicker as an adult. I need to slow down soon and soak in a little more of what summer […]
