Introduction

I thought that it might be appropriate to introduce myself. If you found this blog, then you probably already know that I am a photographer. I am also wife to the best man alive, Wayne, who sometimes doubles as my IT guy and brainstorming buddy. I generally don't make a big decision without his input first. I am also a mother of three beautiful children. My oldest is Adria and she is now thirteen years old (gasp!!). Next is my son, Jarom and he will be nine in October. Then comes the baby. Her name is Naomi (but we call her Nomi) and she just turned one. While Adria and Jarom are at school, I am usually out in the field on a portrait session. If you ever see a crazy gal with a camera and a baby in Newberg, Portland, or anywhere in between, that is probably me. Nomi comes with me everywhere I go and we have dubbed her the studio manager.

Whenever I get five minutes to myself, I try to read. By far my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice, the Anne of Green Gables series (I know, I'm a dork), and the HP series.

I am an ice cream fan. We never keep any in the freezer because it is my one weakness. I can resist cake, candy, chips, brownies, muffins, donuts, etc. They have no allure for me. People can wave it under my face and I would not bat an eye. They have no charm for me. But ice cream on the other hand... and we might as well as add Jello too.

That about sums up my life without writing a drawn out boring book. I always joke that I am very boring. I spend most of my days with my kids, behind a camera, in front of a computer (working), and not thinking about ice cream. When my little ones are in bed, I spend most of my time with the husband. If I get more than ten minutes, I might watch some HGTV and that is the gist of my life.

In this blog, it is my hope to find a bit more time to show some of our work and to share some of our life. Enjoy!
