way too long

(picture taken in Monterey…is it ever possible to get tired of taking pictures of the ocean? I don’t think so!)

It’s been way too long since I’ve posted on the blog and it’s also been way too long since I’ve picked up my camera just for the enjoyment of taking pictures. I think it’s time to take up a little photography project to get myself back to something I love.

Girls' Camp...this is what has been occupying most of my time this year...such a beautiful place!

let it snow

driving through the middle of Oregon in a snowstorm (pretty but not fun)

the total package

I had a great time doing some pictures for one of Ryan’s friends. This young lady has it all--she's beautiful, she's smart and she's talented. Then add to that how sweet and delightful she is, and she's the total package!

outtakes

The silly pictures are always a favorite!

blue eyes

beauty found in an unlikely place

This was taken behind a truck stop/gas station in Northeastern Washington.

one of my favorite places…

oh, baby

such a sweet family

 
It’s hard to tell who’s cuter--big sister or new baby brother! They were both angelic and so delightful to photograph. More photos of this cute little guy coming soon!

more baby love

My only advice for parents of sweet, sleeping newborn baby boys...enjoy it while it lasts, because someday they'll be big and loud and never this peaceful again. This little guy was so precious, he just slept right through all the jostling and picture-taking.

prom time

I love that the girls were not afraid to kick their shoes off and get some air! (and then there's my goofy son who chose to go down instead of up)  :)

hmmm...

...maybe this one is my favorite!

sweet baby girl

I think this turned out to be one of my favorites from my recent newborn shoot. This delicate little girl is so loved and protected in her parents' hands.

my motto (and the excuse for my messy desk)...
