The Hansens

Can you get any funner? Is that even a word? OK, so I should have posted these eons ago but yay! They are finally here.

These boys were so funny and so cool. The whole family is cool! How could they not be cool. I loved how these turned out so much that I made my own Art Collection for the studio using these images.



Doesn't this set of images just make you want to laugh! I was in stitches. I am surprised the images were in focus at all I was laughing so hard.

The Fitzpatrick Family

This family is so sweet! And they are cool! They totally wanted to have the coolest family portraits ever. They were totally up for any crazy idea I had. Now I kinda want to have something like this for my own family portrait... hmmmmm...

She's Lucky She's Cute - Newberg Photographer

I wanted to share the beautiful artwork my Nomi drew on the entry way wall with a beautiful red Sharpie. She is just so lucky that she is cute!





And look how gifted she is! As early as 2 years old, she knew how to color within the lines! Oh Bliss!





Why should the walls get all the artwork? Why not the wood floor too!



Luckily, we are going to paint the entry way and bench soon. But alas, the floor will forever be red. That's OK. It will serve as a reminder that Sharpies should never be within a Nomi's reach!

Adrianna - Newberg Senior Photographer

What a wonderful day it was when we photographed Adrianna. The light was so beautiful (despite the little bits of rain we got) and the locations were so perfect for Adrianna, who was so super easy to photograph. All I had to do is arrive with my camera. She knew exactly how to pose herself. What a treat!

A Few More

Here are a few more of Bridget. She is so stinkin' cute that I just had to post a few more. Enjoy!

MIA?

I know I have been pretty MIA lately. This time of year is very busy for most photographers and I definitely fall in that rank. I am so very behind in my posts. It is my goal to catch up within the next two weeks...

Bridget - Newberg Senior Portraits

I absolutely loved photographing Bridget. We ran all around all over the place dragging furniture with us and had a great time!!

Last Minute Available Sessions

If you wanted portraits for Christmas, now is a perfect chance! We just had two families who needed to make a last minute reschedule, opening up Saturday October 24th and Saturday October 31st. These days also happen to run right into the peak of fall colors creating the perfect opportunity for beautiful portraits. Just give us a call if you would like to schedule a portrait session. 503-554-6808 It will be first come first served.

October 31 is booked but we still have the 24th!

The Mattocks Family

Somehow, we have been very blessed. We only photograph super cool families, and this family definitely falls under the super cool category. The funniest thing happened at this session though. While we were unloading the couch to photograph the family on it in the field, some Newberg city workers "caught us" while they were driving by. Their thoughts we written all over their face. In broad daylight, we had the nerve to dump this couch in the middle of the field. I let them know we were using the couch for a portrait session, not dumping. They drove away, shaking their heads, convinced that I am a total lunatic. Well, maybe they are right...




Why is everyone laughing, you ask. That is because whenever I would call the dog's name, she would look in the complete opposite direction. I would meow, whistle, squeak my toy, and still she looked in opposite direction. It really was the funniest thing ever.

BIG News!!

OK, so we have a couple of very big and exciting news to announce:

The first one: After 30 years, I have finally stopped biting my nails! OK, so that isn't super big or earth shattering, but it kinda sorta is for me. Whenever I brainstormed, watched TV, or get to the exciting part in a book, I would start biting. Uuggg! When I caught my little Nomi picking up on the bad habit, I knew I needed to quit and so I did. The only bad thing: I keep accidently scratching everything in my path. I don't mean to, I am just not used to nails. I even drew blood on my arm two weeks ago... what a dork I am!

The second one (and this is a big one): I know I must be crazy but I have decided to go for it. An opportunity arose to share a retail location with another photographer in town and I decided to jump on it. I know I am crazy but I am so excited!! So, if you are wondering why I have been a bit slower than usual at returning emails and phone calls, this is why and I am so very very sorry. We are moving this weekend and I totally can't wait! I will post pictures of the new place as soon as everything is settled. Plus I will put more detailed info in my upcoming newsletter. Also, people keep asking when I will be having an Open House / Grand Opening.... well, I guess I should. I'll keep you posted as soon as I figure it out....

Princess Alyssa

We put these 2 Montages together for Princess Alyssa. They are very similar to the one we posting in July. The big difference is the individual image and the wording. Alyssa wanted to see the montage before we print but we missed each other before she headed off to school. We made two (can you see the subtle differences?) for her to pick from. Hope you like it.

Baby Ava - Newberg

Oh my Gosh! Ava has got to be the cutest newborn I have ever seen! She has the most sweetest and delicate features . And look at all that hair. I am trying very hard not to covet her hair! My Nomi still has very little hair. What a dream she was to photograph though. She was asleep when she arrived and was so sleepy through the whole session. I was so loving life!

I am sooo bad! I haven't made a post in so long. I think it has been over a month!!!! I know, I'm a total dork! July was a very busy month with both Who's on Third (Turkey Rama) and Newberg Old Fashion Festival. Both events were crazy fun and we got to meet a ton of new people and visit with some very dear friends.
When August hit, the senior season came into full swing and to spice things up a bit, we took a trip to Utah to attend my little brother's graduation from BYU. It was just me and my lil' sis and 5 crazy kids on this trip. Somehow we got there and back safe and sound. My cute little bro is now working on his Masters. He's so cool.


OK, so a few weeks ago, we got to photograph Joanne and she is like crazy gorgeous. And the best part is that she is so very sweet too. We selected these 4 for her Facebook page and I can't wait to see them on there!

Tomorrow!! On July 15th at 11:00 am, we are going to have a "Pride and Prejudice Party" and watch the 6 hour BBC version. I can't wait!

FireWorks!

Soooo, as many of you know, I am on the Newberg Old Fashion Days Festival committee, "in charge" of the fireworks. Part of my job is to help find and coordinate volunteers.

Sooooo, if you are over 18 years of age, would love to wear a very fashionable orange vest and badge to match, have the best seat in the house, and think the idea of tackling people who try to cross into the "no trespass" zone would be way cool, then give us a call. We are still in need of 8 more people and we would love your help!

The event is Saturday, July 25th. If you can make it... yay!! 503-554-6808


We were able to fill in all our open spots. Thank-you to all who volunteered!!!
