Miss Lola

Hard to believe that this beautiful "big girl" was just a wee little one the last time I saw her. Now she's ready to explore, full of smiles, and even cuter than before!






Look out world--here comes Lola and she will charm you in a heartbeat!

More from the bedroom

I got the final okay from another one of my gorgeous models to post some pics of her session. She was a total doll to work with and extremely photogenic. Such a natural beauty!



More of all of the girls coming soon! I am knee deep in wedding season so the new site has taken a back-burner to it all. Go figure.

Wheat (Mike) + Mindi - June 9th

My one and only wedding this year and what a great one it was! Mike (better known as Wheat) and Mindi are such genuinely sweet and laid back people, so it was no surprise that their wedding was both fun and relaxed at the same time. Although rain did strike a couple of times that didn't dampen anyone's spirit as smiles were shining the whole day. More pics coming soon, but here's a teaser...

Coming Soon!

The model shoot-out on Cinco de Mayo was a huge success! We had a great time (thanks so much ladies, you were awesome) and now I just need to get everything finished up so I can launch the new site. Here is a sneak peek of what's to come...

News!

On Cinco de Mayo yours truly will be shooting some beautiful women in a very hip, very chic, very fun location! I can't reveal a whole lot as of right now, but I am so looking forward to these sessions!! It will mark the new direction I am planning on taking with my photography and am very excited to be sharing it with you all soon enough.

To go along with everything I am also re-designing the website from the bottom up. As usual this is a large undertaking and will take awhile longer, yet I hope to have it up and running this month.
Check back next week for results from this weekend!

PotD - 4/7

Poker anyone?

Picture of the Day - 4/6/07

In an effort to keep this blog going during the "downtime" of shooting, I figured I'd start doing a Picture of the Day. Each day I plan to snap something fun, interesting, odd, tasty, or just plain boring and share it on here. Comments, as always, are welcome!

"Leader of the Pack"

Baby Lola

You just cannot look at this beautiful baby girl without smiling! She is too sweet for words and man can she move already. Strong, agile, and ready to take on the world, Lola was one fun model. I did her mom's maternity pics (see below) and was very excited to meet this little one. Check out the strawberry hat sent by Grandma--too cute!

Waking up


*melt*...a smile


Little piggies


Gorgeous eyes


Another smile


"The" hat


Awww...


I can't wait to take more pics of her as she grows! Thanks for being such a sport, Lola!

Kai & Renata

If I could have more weddings like this then I would definitely book more! Quaint, quiet, and very sweet. The bride hails from Switzerland and the groom is from Germany. Needless to say, the accents were beautiful (and the couple wasn't bad looking either ;o) )! I had so much fun with the two of them and their lovely friends from Portland. You all must promise to get in touch with me the next time you come to Bend!

Getting ready

Ceremony--Kai read a lovely story of how the two of them met

More coming soon on my website (most likely after the holidays)--so check back often! Kai & Renata, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your special day (and for the yummy champagne!). It was truly my pleasure to work with you both!

Big pics = not so much

Apparently my blog is not a fan of my large pictures as it doesn't seem like it wants to fix itself and instead insists on covering up my work. hmmmm... I'll have to figure this one out. I'll keep the pics up, though, so my clients can see what's new but do forgive the craziness of the layout.

Jeff + Shanda - Parents-to-be

Jeff & Shanda were such a warm, sweet couple and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new little bundle of joy. Their home was filled with all sorts of fun and interesting items from all over the world so between those and the views (plus the yummy light) I could've shot all day long.













I'll also have more on my website once we get everything transferred from the old computer to the new computer. So for now, enjoy some of my favorites from this sitting.

Chad + Kirsten

I'm playing catch-up now as these were taken awhile back ago but I definitely wanted to post them! Chad & Kirsten were so laid back and easy going that taking pictures of them was as natural as breathing. We walked all over downtown and Drake Park, hitting some favorite places of mine, and theirs as well. We tried to grab a beer at McMennamin's, but given that Kirsten and I apparently didn't look "of age" and neither of us had our ID's with us, we were turned down. Bummer. But there's always next time, right guys? :o)
