Congrats Class of 2009! ~Oregon Event Photographer~

I was honored to be asked to photograph one of my seniors again, this time at her graduation! Esperanza graduated yesterday from South Albany High School...in the rain!! What a crazy evening. We started the evening with gorgeous sunshine while we took some shots of Esperanza and her friends, by the time the ceremony was upon us we were standing in the rain and wind with lightening flashing around us. I certainly got cold and wet, but it was all worth it! So here are just a few shots from the evening.

Thanks Esperanza for thinking of me, it was a lot of fun! Congratulations!!

~The Simple Life~ Family Time

I have sure been quiet lately...all the sunshine we are getting has inspired me to get going on a few projects around the old homestead. So we are trying to get our garden planted, our yard landscaped and we are finishing up the school year! (Can you believe that we have just 5 lessons left and we still have not finished...going on 3 weeks like that!)

I don't think I have really even touched my camera in a week! *gasp* Like I said in my last post, I am starting to have withdrawls!! But I promise to have a fun update later this week! I had a client contact me about doing some special pictures, I will be sure to post some later this week after the event! I can't wait!

Also, just 10 days left of my 20's! I am thinking of some sort of giveaway for my 30th birthday present to YOU! Hmm, we'll just have to see what happens there!

And because I can't post a blog entry without a picture, I caught this image when my kids sat down to watch daddy till up the garden area. They had been enjoying the slip-n-slide and took a break to sit down on the grass roller to watch. I thought it was so cute...so I grabbed the camera a snapped a picture! Our neighbor is SO good to let us borrow his tractor, I can't image tilling up this garden without it!

Time Out

One more session to go before my "break"! :) I have been editing like crazy...and still more to come! I am not used to having a long list to edit. Typically I have a day or two between sessions and can get right on the image proofing. I had a great time shooting in downtown Corvallis last night. Lots of background options! We found a great red umbrella over some outside cafe tables. That was fun and I can't wait to see what I have.

While I was waiting last night I got a few shots that I found interesting....


When I got home, I was walking inside and stopped for a second on my front porch to see the sun streaming through the clouds. It was absolutely gorgeous. I took one shot before I knocked over a container that was full of water...and created a mess! Fortunately for me the shot turned out perfect! If you look at the top of the picture you can see the rays of sun creating lines of light!
