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.

Matthew, Andrew, & Aaron

These super adorable boys belong to one of my friends and boy did we have way too much fun. We have two sessions here (ok, technically 3, but who is counting). The first one is to celebrate Andrew's first birthday. The second is to welcome Matthew to the family.







I just LOVE the story in the next 4 images. It just makes me laugh every time I see them. Big brothers. Gotta love them!







We squeezed in a family portrait right before Matthew was born



And here is Matthew. Isn't he just so stinkin' cute. We worked really hard to help him fall asleep. He was just too interested in everything around him.

Brogan, Rylan, & McKinlee - Newberg Children's Photography

These three cuties were so polite and so sweet and so much fun. I just wanted to take them all home. Or somehow become their long lost aunt. I could have hung out all day with them and just played and played. Plus, their mom - so cool. Love her! And she is not afraid of spiders either like yours truly.












From this image here, you just know who is in charge! Love it!

Limited Edition Q&A

Girls Night Out

We had so much fun at Girls Night Out! More people came than I ever hoped and we were able to raise almost $150 for Love Inc from just raffle sales alone!!

Here is a pic of the gift bags which were packed with all kinds of goodies. They looked so flippin' cute, that I had to take a pic to show.




Mmmmmmm, yummy food.




Here is shot of all the prizes that were raffled off. Congrats to the winners. They totally walked away with some super cool stuff!





I also took some pics of each vendor's table. They had so much cool stuff that I could not resist!






















Anyone who knows Nomi, knows she is a total choco-holic. The girls at Mode du Jour Day Spa & Salon gave her a couple of pieces of chocolate from this jar. She took those pieces, said a quick thank-you, ran off and hid in a corner and ate them! She is so weird! She is also two years old, but so weird....





I totally wish that is me here because by the end of the evening, a massage looked so good!
