lovely little Jenna...

I am not sure how I got so lucky but I have the 3 coolest nieces on the planet. They are all so beautiful, funny, smart, and talented. They are just incredible and I couldn't ask for anything more. :) On Monday I took some photos of Jenna the youngest of the three and I just don't think it could get any cuter. Here are some of my favorites...

Thanks Jeff and Shana for making another perfect little baby!!! Love you guys!

winter wonderland...

On sunday morning I met up with Kristin & Rian up at Mt. Hood for their engagement shoot. We were hoping for clear skies originally but it was snowing hard the whole time we were there, and I was actually really happy for the snow in the end. It made it so much fun and a new challenge for me to work in too. They say no two snowflakes are the same and this is definitely true for people as well... and that is what I love about what I do. I have done quite a few engagement shoots but every time it is new and different, and this was no exception... and was one of the most fun shoots I have had in a long time. Kristin & Rian are high school sweethearts and it was so clear how comfortable they were with each other and also how very much in love they are. I am shooting their wedding along with my husband in August and this shoot just made me even more excited for their big day!

I was so thankful to get out of the rain for a few hours and into the beautiful snow... with a beautiful couple!!!

 

Dustin & Bridget...

On Monday I got together with some good friends, Dustin & Bridget. They have been married for a few years now and Dustin proposed to Bridget at Hotel Vintage, which was the final stop on the scavenger hunt proposal he created for Bridget. Quite the impressive and creative way to propose I must say! So, we decided to take some photos there and walk around Portland to see what else we could find.

It was so fun spending the afternoon taking photos of them. It was a definite change of pace from our usual hang outs at Mcmennamins or watching Blazer games, which I always enjoy, but it was a nice to see them through the lens. They are a great couple and it became even more clear to me during our shoot how much they truly love each other. :) Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again guys! See you soon. :)

The Kumar Family...

Last Saturday morning I got together with the Kumar family for a shoot. We lucked out and had overcast skies but no rain. We did some indoor shots but they live next to a beautiful open field with horses and I wanted to take advantage of that. :) It was so fun working with the beautiful backdrop and seeing the kids interact with the horses. They are such a great family and it was so much fun getting to know Samir and Meena, as well as their super happy and photogenic kids. :) Thanks so much for sharing the morning with me!
