Windy Day

I recently started working at the pre-school thats part of the Christian school at our church. It works out nicely for our youngest to attend Kindergarten their while I spend the morning in the pre-1 class. That 14-16 2.5-almost 4 year olds! And boy am I tired when I get home! So, that explains the lack of recent posts....but I have a lot of senior sessions coming up over the next few weeks so stay tuned!! ;)
This session was done a few weeks ago on a hot, but windy day. We met at my clients home and wandered around their beautiful yard to get some of these great shots. I loved how well Jane had thought out the locations we could shoot. She has a great eye and a natural grace for portraits. She needed almost no posing or prompting but would quickly just have a great pose for me to snap a shot! (Love those sessions!)

~Friday's Session~ Willamette Valley, Oregon Maternity Photographer

First of all....where did this weekend go? I had big plans to get some more pictures posted, but apparently it wasn't meant to happen. We had soccer games all day on Saturday and were blessed to spend some time with friends in between games. Then on Sunday after church my husband needed to dive into his homework, so my editing area was tied up until late last night. Enough about that...

On to the family and couple shots from Friday's session. I am really excited about finishing these edits. This is one stinkin' cute little family.

Finished Willamette Valley, Oregon Engagement Photographer

I just finished up the engagment photos from last week. I enjoyed editing these a lot...there were so many great shots though, it was hard to choose my favorites. I put together this collage just for fun so I could post more than a few pictures.

Engagement Session

Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite! And the most recent one with Crystal and Austin was no exception. The only downside to the sessions is when it comes to editing. Almost every picture is just perfect, I don't know how to pick a favorite! I am only about 1/3 of the way through so far, but thought I would post a few that I like. I may have to do a couple more posts, or maybe I'll make a collage of my favorites when I get done. We'll see!

Crystal and Austin ~Sneak Peak~ Willamette Valley, Oregon Engagement Photographer

I had such a fun time with Austin and Crystal today, shooting some engagement pictures! Austin is on leave from Iraq and I felt privilaged to share a few hours of their time together with them. I just had to post one shot I got...absolutely love it. The focus worked out perfectly, the lighting, the kiss, everything is just perfect! The two of them were sitting on the rocks and I was sneaking in from the other side of the water and captured this picture between some reeds. (click on the picture to view it larger)


We got so many great shots, I can't wait to go through all of them! I'll post some more tomorrow afternoon!

A few more favorites..

I have to post a few more fun pictures from my Saturday maternity session. Then its on to Sunday's! Dan and Kerri are so much fun and I can see how much they love to play around with each other too.



It might seem as though this daddy to be is loving on his baby, but actually I think he was just trying to warm up his nose! :)

Dan & Kerri & baby...

Dan and Kerri had me laughing during most of the session. I really enjoy maternity sessions. They look forward to welcoming their little baby in the coming weeks. Hopefully sooner rather than later. :) Here are just a few shots from the day. I am still working away on converting the raw files, but had to play with these ones because I thought they were so sweet!

Almost Done with Saturday's Engagement Session!

Just a few more to go Kelly & Ken....can you wait another day or two? I know its hard so I am going to post a few more pictures to help you wait! :) I hope you love them!

Fred and Dusti's Engagement Session

I had a lot of fun with Fred and Dusti and we got some great shots! Downtown is a fun place to shoot. Fred and Dusti were both layed back and had fun playing around for the camera. It's hard to believe it has been a week already! I have been dying to post a couple of these shots too... they were perfect!

I'll post a few more tomorrow...and also have some family shots to post. I photographed a friend with her twin daughters and I can't wait to see how they turned out!
