What a privilege it was to spend a little time with these two young women. I am in shock that they have become young women. Andrea and Juliet, when did it happen? It just can't be. I don't feel a day older than I did when you were babies. Really. I was only a little younger than they are when they were born. 

I wish there would have been more time during our visit. I long to know more about your lives and your dreams. I feel like I got a glimpse. I wish there was a full day of getting to know each other again. 

 I have always felt a connection to them I can't explain. It could be that they are the daughters of two wonderfully talented and kind people. It could be my longing to tell everyone's story through photographs. It could be the amazing music they write and perform. I hope someday to have another opportunity to share some time with them. It is a gift to me to look upon them and gather, mold and capture a small piece of who they are right now.

Here's to all your future holds Andrea and Juliet. May you be graced with beautiful venues, creative spirits and all the love a heart can hold. 

Engaged- Portland, OR Engagement Photographer

When you are engaged you are on top of the world. There are few things in life that match the joy your heart feels when you find your soul mate and commit to a happily ever after. My heart swells with happiness to be a small part of the joyful moments in people's lives. I am so thankful I found my happily ever after so many years ago. And the best part..... the love and joy you treasure in each other today will only grow over the years.

What fun I had photographing Erik and Julie. They were relaxed and in love and it totally shows in the photos. I am excited to witness their future and feel so blessed to know them. The shoot had so many beautiful moments it was hard to stop at the few I am posting today. 

There is such hope and happiness when you are engaged to be married. 

May the happiness you two feel today follow you throughout your days.

Feeney Family Fun - Vancouver,WA family photographer

I told you it was too hard to choose. What a lovely family with beautiful girls. A few in color a few in b/w for fun. 

Family Fun- Vancouver,WA family photographer

The Feeney family were such good sports. The brisk March weather was brutal on the little ones while we wandered around Vancouver taking family photos. At least Mother Nature kept the skies dry for us. It was too hard to choose what to post. I get butterflies when I see the photo of the sisters together. I just think it captures their innocence, joy and pure love for each other. What a great memory for them when they are grown. 

Oh, Baby- Vancouver,WA children's photographer

How I love babies. I can't put my finger on just what it is. It is absolutely everything about them. Except lack of sleep for mom.

It is magical to me how much they grow and change the first year. Here is a little proof of the growing and changing. 

Slow down little Greg.

Dapper Davis- Vancouver,WA newborn photographer

Davis was a sweetie. If I didn't already have a bouncing baby boy at home, I would have tried to borrow him. The sweetest chubby cheeks around. His parents were a pleasure to work with too. 

Good wishes, good health and good luck to you as you celebrate Davis with your family next week. 

Happy New Year!

Silly me did I say happy, because I meant HAPPY!

Here's to a year of love, life and growth. Can not wait for what 2009 has in store for us.
