Last weekend I had the opportunity to meet up with Heather & Jason to shoot their engagement pictures. We started out at his parent’s house and then made our way to their Lake House. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding this August, they were a lot of fun! :) Congratulations, you two!!
Friday my family got to witness Derek (my cousin) graduate from high school. Derek and his brother, Grant, have always been more like my little brothers than cousins. In fact, when Derek was born, I always called him “My Baby” and in many ways he was. I did EVERYTHING for him and I still would. Needless to say it was very bittersweet for me, I am very proud of him and the man he has become, but it’s so hard to believe he is already at this stage of his life…
Congrats, Derek! We love you and we truly are so proud of you!!!
So, I just finished the editing process for Trevor’s pictures and this was the very last picture. I love the results and I just had to add this picture because it’s now one of my favorites! :) Hope you enjoy it, too!
I am a little behind getting these pictures posted. Two weeks ago I went out to “Tyler’s Territory” for his 2nd Senior Session. The first session was on the beach, but these pictures are sooo Tyler. :) We went to his uncle’s place and got some pictures with the barn. Tyler is so much fun, I had a great time doing this session with him!
Tyler’s buddy Chad came along for the ride. After spending some time at his uncle’s place, they lead us to a place I could never find again. :) They know the land quite well, I felt like I was in another country! (Thank you GPS!) I love that you can see the valley for miles in this picture, Oregon is so beautiful!!!
The picture below cracks me up! They thought it would be cool to get a picture of them jumping from a stump, I thought it was hilarious! :) We all had a good time, it was so much fun spending a few hours with these guys!! Congrats Tyler!!!
Where I live all the high schools in the area hold male pageants to raise money for The Children’s Miracle Network. It is such an amazing event for such an incredible cause, it’s heart-breaking and heart-warming all at the same time! 12 guys fund-raise for 4 months and then compete in a pageant for the title of “Mr. (Mascot/School)” My son, Cole, was asked by a friend of ours to walk with him during the Hero segment. Cole was so excited! This was his third time to be in one of these pageants, but the first he can remember. 
Tyler & Cole were dressed as Tinkerbelle & Peter Pan. (Cole was thrilled that it meant he could hold a fake knife, which he waved at the audience the entire time with a huge grin! :) Sounds scary, but it was adorable!!!)
We were all very excited when Tyler was crowned Mr. North! Cole was sitting in the crowd saying again and again, “I hope he wins…I hope Tyler wins…” He jumped out of hit seat when they announced him the winner!
My precious little man, Cole & Tyler aka Mr. North 2008
Congratulations, Tyler! You totally deserve it!!
I met up with Amy a couple of days ago to shoot some additional Senior pictures. I really like to do two seperate sessions, one during the Summer or Fall when the weather is gorgeous and another in Spring, closer to graduation. Amy is amazing- she is such a sweetheart and obviously adorable! We had a lot of fun and managed to get some really great shots! :) Congrats on your upcoming graduation, Amy!
