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.

Meals 4 Haiti
Hello everyone-
I know we have all been affected in some way by the earthquake tragedy in Haiti. Our hearts are saddened and yet the outpouring of help from all over the world, I'm sure, has brought hope and healing to the victims.
Did you hear the news last week? It sounds like they are in dire need of food. So, Arbonne teams are rallying together to send MEALS to Haiti.
Some of you may have done so much for the Haitians already, but if you are still wondering how you can help, perhaps you can participate in this campaign.
Arbonne teams are sending their highly nutritious Arbonne protein shakes that do not need refrigeration. Several Arbonne VP's are also physicians and nurses and they are in the trenches helping these people. So the shakes would be a godsend for the victims and the workers.
If you feel led to participate, just call Vida Ice with your credit card or send her a check for $25. Her phone numbers are: home office: 503.554.5920 cell phone: 503.750.9062. Her website is: www.vidaice.com. Vida will not be profiting from this- as this is her cost. And any residual income she receives from the volume from this will be an additional donation from her.
While she prefers credit card, you can also make her a check out to Vida Ice and send to PO Box 393 Dundee, OR 97115.
This is tax deductible and Vida will send receipts from the non-profit that they are partnering with. And for every 12pk purchased for $25, You will receive an Arbonne gift from Vida.
If anything, if you feel led, please forward this on to your friends and family. We are hoping to send 1200 meals- that's 100 people participating by this Thursday, January 28th!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support and the overwhelmning response already! We are all in this together!
Make today a great one!

Say it isn't so!!
For the past 5 years, we have been so good about sending Christmas cards and a family newsletter. They were a ton of fun to make and folks seemed to really like them. And I love to read them years later.
Well....
It is already January 20th and I am thinking that sending out cards this year is just not going to happen. I am totally bummed. But let me tell you why. Maybe a good chuckle is what will make this all better...
So I had squeezed in a day a week before Christmas. It was the perfect day. I was going to create the portraits of the kids to put onto the cards. Nomi was in a very good mood that day and I had forewarned Adria and Jarom of the plan. But then, something very bad happened. Nomi got a hold of a washable black crayola marker... you know, the kind that washes off the skin after 3 days or so.
My cute little baby drew all over her face, but mostly her lips and right eye. She looked like a little goth baby. It was actually quite funny. When she looked in the mirror though, she cried and tried to clean it off. She is just too funny.
I was kinda bummed. So I squeezed in another day after Christmas. It is family tradition to send the cards after Christmas anyways...
Then is happened again!!!! Where in the world does she find all these markers!!! I took it as a sign. No more markers are allowed in the house. And no Christmas card this year. It just wasn't meant to be and I am now OK with that. My only regret is: I couldn't find our point and shoot to take a pic of Nomi in her "goth mode". Arrggg!

Newberg Family Photographer - Meyers & Murphys
OK, just one more before I hit the sack. I promise, I am trying to play catch-up on my blog post but I fear that I am still very dreadfully behind... :)
This is the Meyers and Murphy family and they are so cool. The dad in the Meyers family and the mom in the Murphy family are brother and sister (hence the brother and sister portrait). These were taken as a present for their parents wedding anniversary. How cute is that!!!!!
Thanks so much Susan and Cathy for your help in making this session go so smoothly and, well, for being so cool!

Newberg Senior Photographer - Ali
Did I mention that I love my job. I am totally in my happy place when I have a camera in my hands and a beautiful girl as my subject. I just love these images. They are a perfect blend of sweet innocence with a slight urban edge to them. Love them!
Newberg Senior Photographer - Carly
Man do I love my job. I get to meet cool people all the time. Let me introduce you to one of those super cool people, Carly. What a joy she was to photograph. Not only is she beautiful on the outside but she is totally beautiful and so sweet on the inside.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

The Duffins - Newberg Family Portraits
I just loved photographing this family. They are all so sweet and these boys (all of them!!!) were absolutely perfect! They totally smiled the perfect smiles and laughed at all my dumb jokes. And little Noah... isn't he the cutest little pre-schooler you have ever seen. His huge blue eyes just melt my heart!
