Fun Family Portraits

Something I don't do often enough is take pictures of my own family. This Sunday we walked to a playground and just had fun.

Suzanne and Cherwyn's Wedding at Zenith Vineyard

Sometimes great pictures aren't about amazing lighting, or split second timing or a beautifully captures sunset. Sometimes a great picture is all about the expression on the subject's face. I think the above shot is one of those pictures. Suzanne and Cherwyn, had a truly touching day, with a lot of great memories.

I love this shot of the flowergirl looking in the mirror as everyone is getting ready. It kind of reminds me of something you'd see in Life Magazine.


Suzanne's mom did an amazing job planning every detail of the wedding. Details are something I've been really trying to focus on this year. I bought a special macro lens just for shooting things like this amazing bouquet.



Ok sometimes great pictures are amazing lighting AND the expression on someone's face.
Enjoy the slideshow!

Shauna and Skylar's After Wedding Session at the Oregon Coast

Sometimes weddings can get pretty crazy. With so many people that want to see you and hug you and congratulate you getting enough time to sneak off for pictures can be downright impossible. Shauna and Skylar decided to book an After Wedding Session in Lincoln City which allowed us a couple hours to get some great shots.















There has been a big "Trash the Dress" movement where brides figure they want to get some really crazy pictures out of their wedding dresses. Shauna was game for that, and I love how the pictures turned out. However I also want to mention that you don't necessarily have to trash your dress for an After Wedding Shoot. Just having the extra time to focus on great pictures with out all the wedding hassle can be great!

Jennifer and Andrew's Wedding at the Oregon Coast

I was so glad to shoot Jennifer and Andrew's wedding last week. While I've shot weddings on the Oregon Coast before, I haven't shot a wedding were the actual ceremony was on the beach. There are so many things that logistically go into a beach wedding that I would seriously recommend hiring a wedding coordinator if you are thinking about it Mandi Downs from Champagne Wedding and Event Coordination not only coordinated this wedding but styled the reception site with an amazing attention to detail.


One of the things I loved about this wedding were the expressions on peoples faces,
From emotional....


to hysterical....

to just pretty dang excited.... People were having a good time.


Enjoy the slideshow!

and as always on Facebook.

A day off

I don't know if you've noticed lately, but I've been pretty busy. This summer has been amazing, and I'm so glad that I've had the opportunity to get to know so many great couples by shooting there weddings. However, this weekend is the only one from June through September that I'm not shooting a wedding so of course I wanted to spend my time playing with my kids.






Today Sofia told my she wanted to make a "flying princess hat" out of a cup. So we did!

I love my little girl. She is growing up way too fast.
