It's been a while!

Man... what a busy time for me and Brandon! We have been in our new house for about a month now and we are 'almost' done with all the painting! We are steadily planning the wedding too. It is so fun being engaged! Now I have a new understanding for all my brides :)

Here is a preview of an album I just designed. I am so excited to offer these to my clients now :) Let me know what you think!

Hannah's newborn session teaser

I spent the day with good friends on mine Rachel, Zack and their new baby girl Hannah. She is 6 days old and so precious!

More photos to come!

A bridal session in the forest!

A while back I got to trample around the forest with Nikki... in her wedding dress!

Nikki and I have been friends for as long as we both can remember. From little girl piano recitals to high school, we saw each other threw it all. We had such a blast catching up on old times, I think we laughed more than we even took photos!

I am so glad we reconnected Nikki, you turned from a beautiful girl into a beautiful woman :)

Hillary's Senior Photos!

I got to spend my Saturday with an awesome girl!

Hillary is so full of life! The whole day we talked about her goals and ambitions, her sports and her family. Hillary is taking all kinds of classes to better her in college and I know this girl is gonna kick butt in culinary school! She has a super supportive family who are always there rooting her on at volleyball games and in life. She made my job easy...just look at that smile!

I am glad I got to meet you Hill, thanks for being silly with me!

The Ogden's

Randi and Josh met when they were to young to know what love was. Over the years they were to shy to even talk to one another. Good thing fate has a way of working things out because they ended up together, madly in love and have a precious little boy on the way, who I can't wait to meet!











Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day Randi and Josh, it was so beautiful!

The Hadders!

It was getting late and she still wasn't there. Casey sat at the table in Red Robin with a single red rose waiting for his blind date to arrive. The waitresses were swooning over him, this poor sweet guy was being stood up!

That is how the story of Mackenzie and Casey began...Mackenzie was out on another date and stood up her future husband! Thank goodness he gave her another chance, they went out to dinner the next night and have been attached at the hip ever since.

Watching Casey and Mackenzie get married was such a joy! They share such a deep love for each other and their daughter. It was a beautiful day and I couldn't have asked to capture a more beautiful couple!

Hope you guys are having a blast in Hawaii!




In Hawaiian tradition the man moves the woman's flower from the right side to the left, this indicates she is officially taken!

Dynamic begins!

I launched my new dynamic photo option this last weekend! Contact me if you would like to know more about this super fun shoot, we had the music blaring! I am guessing her fiance is going to be very grateful for his wedding gift!

While Brandon was watching one of the playoff games I decided to walk around downtown Corvallis and take a few shots at dusk. It was a fun challenge and I got a few that I really like :)

Something different :)

OSP West 2009

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to a photography seminar in Seattle. It was such an intimidating/wonderful learning experience! The speakers were fantastic and very inspirational :) Here are a few images from 2 out of the 4 shoots I participated in... keep checking back for more photos to come!

8 months in...

I gave myself a year to get all of my primary business needs taken care of and I did just that! I have my name, logo, business cards and a website! Last on the list was creating a blog, so here I go! :)

I am going to my first photography seminar in Seattle next month and I could not be MORE excited about it!!! I will get the opportunity to meet with other west coast photographers and have lots of connections. I am signed up for four shoots and I am soooo stoked to get them in my portfolio for all of you to see!

Here are some recent photos that I did for a 'trash the dress session'
