Girls Night Out

Mark Your Calendars for Girls Night Out! Come enjoy an evening filled with pampering, shopping, and delicious hors' doeuvers. We have planned this event just before one of the most important days of the year, Mother's Day! This will be a great night for women and men alike to celebrate the women in their lives and an ideal opportunity to pick up the perfect Mother's Day gift! We will even have some amazing raffles with prizes from each vendor. And the best part: 100% of the raffle will go towards our very own Love Inc.!

Rachel K - Newberg Senior Portraits

I had so much fun on this session!! This senior has a great name! And so does her mom, which happens to be the same name as my assistant, Carol. So picture this: every time mom Carol or my Carol would say Rachel, both Rachels would respond and every time I would ask my Carol to do something: hold a reflector, fix hair, grab the camera bag, mom Carol would try to do it. We all just laughed and laughed at our silliness (and our confusion!).

I Survived!

Yay! I survived WPPI and I didn't die from a brain overload! I learned so much that I barely know where to begin to implement. When I came home, I was faced with a ton of emails. Luckily about half of them are stuff that I can delete, but the other half will take a little while to answer. If you did email me, please know that I did not drop off the face of the planet (unless you count going to Las Vegas), and I am answering emails as fast as I can....

Am I Crazy?

I think I am. Right now I am sitting in a terminal at PDX waiting for a flight to take me to Las Vegas for the WPPI convention. It is going to be a ton of fun, but I have to admit, I'm home sick already.

I am going to be gone for 6 days and that just seems like forever to me. I have never been away from my family for that long before. But this trip will be very good for me and the company. A ton of amazing photographers will be there. Many of them are my mentors and my "American Idols". I can't wait, but boy am I going to miss my babies and my adorable husband.

Gotta run. We're boarding!

The Cutest Family ever!

Can you get any cuter than this family. And so much fun to photograph! They were so up for any crazy idea that I had. More often than not, little kids will ask, "take a picture of me doing this!" I love it when they ask because kids will come up with the craziest ideas. These boys had the cutest ideas. I just love them! I even let them take a few shots of each other using my "big camera". We might have some budding photographers here...

Ethan & Lindsey

Engagement Portraits? Rachel? Yep, I did. I was a little nervous to post these. We get enough wedding inquires as it is and I didn't want to encourage any more. The thought of photographing a wedding makes me break out in a cold sweat and then I find myself rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere. But this is my Lindsey. She is sooooo cool so when she asked if we would create her engagement portraits (just the engagement, not the wedding), I of course said yes.

As a side note, I have to admit, I am so lame. I am so behind in blog posts. From the look of the blog, we are just sitting here twitteling our thumbs. On the contrary, we have been steadily busy and very blessed. The economy hasn't affected us much (knock on wood). So if the blog seems pretty dead to you, I am dreadfully sorry. It is only because I am lame and because we are trying to make sure all of our orders are on time.
