Pride and Prejudice

I first discovered the "Pride and Prejudice" BBC miniseries around 8 years ago when my dear Aunt Margaret popped over for a visit and brought with her a treasure in the form of VHS tapes (remember those??). In six short hours, Mr. Darcy (a.k.a. Colin Firth) went from "an okay looking inconsequential snob" to "so sexy I would marry him!!!" I was hooked - and not just on Mr. Darcy. I would be forevermore an ardent lover of the film.

OK, so as most of you know, I am a bit of a Pride and Prejudice nut. LOVE the book. LOVE the movie. If you have ever done a portrait session with me, about half the time, I end up talking about P&P. Whenever someone says they have not seen the movie, I always say, "OMGosh, we have to watch it someday!". Well, someday has finally come!!

On July 15th, at 11:00 am, we are going to watch the 6 hour (I know, its long...) A&E version of Pride and Prejudice!!

So Ladies (and Gentlemen), if you love period pieces, British drama, and Jane Austin, then you'll LOVE this movie! This invite is open to everyone and anyone, so bring your mom, best friend, sister, daughter. The more the merrier! Call for Directions: 503-554-6808. See you there!!!

Gracie - Newberg Baby Photographer

Gracie is one of the sweetest babies I have ever photographed! And oh my goodness! She has just the biggest blue eyes and some of the most cutest sweetest expressions I have ever seen! I have thoroughly enjoyed each of her sessions and capturing her sweet little personality. She has grown so much (sniff sniff) since her first session about a year ago.

School is Out!

Yay! I love Summer vacation!! I love being able to sleep in till around 7:00 or so. I love the break we get from the rain. And most of all, I love all the time I get to hang out with the kids. We have a couple of fun things planned for the summer, but the big one will be our trip to Utah for my little brother's graduation from BYU. Of course, the beach is on the calendar along with some other "close to home" activities: the zoo, the library, Oaks Park, etc. What cool things are you planning for summer vacation?

Miss Sarah - Senior Newberg

So one day, I had this brilliant idea!! How about putting some of my HS Senior portraits on the blog!! Great idea huh! Especially since about 50% of what we do is HS Seniors. We usually put our seniors on our MySpace page, but why not here too?

So this beautiful young woman just graduated last night (Congrats Sarah!!!!). How cool is that! I am always so excited for my seniors when they enter the next chapter of their lives.

I totally love this girl. She was such a good sport during her portrait session. She was totally cool about anything I suggested... despite the fact that it must have been 30 degrees outside! In between chattering teeth and shivers, she was able to totally fake it and pretend that she was in Hawaii. Luv her!
