Daniel - Newberg Senior Portraits

OK, I admit it. I am so very behind in my blog posts. And yes, its true. I am very lame. My apologies to Daniel for making him wait so long for this post.

I will always remember this session as the day I did a perfect parallel park. Yes, it is true. I suck at parallel parking. But not that day.

This day, we went to Downtown Portland, which is one of my favorite locations because I could go there 100 times and get 100 completely different sessions.

Daniel is one of the coolest people we photographed this year. He is so funny and kept us all laughing even though it was freezing that day. But at the same time, he seemed so much more mature than 18. He loves the Lord, his country, and his family and he left a wonderful impression on me.








This is Daniel's sister, Britany. We photographed her senior portraits a couple of years ago. She is so beautiful, I wanted to post a few of hers too.


Meet Tanner

Did you know that more children will be diagnosed with Autism this year than with AIDS, Diabetes and Cancer combined!

But less than 1% of the budget of the National Institute of Health is devoted to Autism research. I didn’t know this either.

Meet my sweet little friend Tanner! He was diagnosed with Autism at 18 months. He is non-verbal and has medical issues associated with Autism but today he is healing and starting to say words. Autism Speaks has helped Tanner in finding Doctors and therapists, play groups and support groups for him and his Mom.

He is on a path to recovery and to find a voice, Tanner’s voice. I am joining Tanners team to support him and his family to spread awareness. Please join me, become a sponsor, donate or join his team.

All the money we raise for the Portland walk stays in our local communities in Oregon to help our kids here.

Thank you for your support.
