Baby Skyler

This little bundle of joy came a little early. I had plans to take pictures of his momma while he was still baking away and because he kept trying to make his Grand entrance we were unable to capture how beautiful his momma was pregnant. But that just meant I was blessed to meet him earlier. He was such a easy going baby. All he needed was his bottle and he was perfectly happy. 

The Best Friends

These two are so funny together. They have been best friends for almost 3 years now. Nothing is better than finding that special friendship that these two have! Very special.

Burn Family-Shoot 2

We had scheduled another shoot so that one we could get little man to take some pictures, as you can see he was ready to let me snap away.  And also to swap out family photos.  She would take mine and I would take hers.  Pretty sweet deal if I do say so.  We took these pictures at the Stoller Winery in Dundee Oregon and it was beautiful.  I can't wait until I can go and sip some wine, sit back and relax.  It was the perfect place for the kids who weren't getting their picture taken could just run around and be kids.  We all soaked up the sunshine and enjoyed being outside.  Yeah for sunny days!

Burns Family-Spring time

This is one my absolute favorite family to photograph.  Don't you think they are all so photogenic?  I surely do.  The mom of this family really wanted to get a picture with some cherry trees but with the weather here in Oregon and everyone schedules by the time we were able to schedule the shoot most of the trees has already started to change.  We did find ONE and then got lucky to see the amazing orchard right across the street.  SCORE!  The little one wanted nothing to do with my camera that day and I just had to giggle because he is usually so ready to have his picture taken.  We had fun running through the orchard and snapping away.  Don't you think we got lucky on our location?  I sure do.

Clara-Senior Year

This girl is an orginial for sure. She is living here for a year while attending Newberg High as an exchange student from FRANCE. It has been so much fun getting to know her and joking about her French accent and my southern. We had a great time trying to stay warm while running around town snapping away. I think they turned out great esp since you can tell the camera loves her.

Christmas Photo Sessions

November Photo Challenge-Together

These two were so happy to be able to play "together" after school yesterday.  They ran in the house yelling they were home, ran into Marchal's room grabbed all the Nerf guns threw them in backpacks, hopped on their scooters and off they went to play some kind of superhero.  lol.  They crack me up.  Being a mom of a boy is so much fun! 

November Photo Challenge-Up Close

Isn't he so handsome!  I know I am his mother but you have to agree with me.  He is going to be such a heartbreaker and becuase of his HUGE heart will sadly have his heartbroken too.  I wish I could keep him this age forever. 

November Photo Challenge-Glow

I was walking, yes once again and saw the sun glowing through this beautiful yellow tree.   I was captivated by it and wanted to capture the vision in a bottle so that during these rainy months I could go back and take in that moment.  AH!  Something that will be missed for a few months and like most of the other Oregonians I will be counting the days until Spring comes back around.

November Photo Challenge-Far

Far-I cheated alittle on this one.  I did take this in November but just not for the day I was suppose to.  It was the day I had my annual photo shoot with my little man and I asked him to run far away and then come back running toward me.  Who knew it would ever come in handy?!  lol. 

November Photo Challenge-Windows

Windows?  I wanted to get really creative with this one, thinking windows to someone soul (ie eyes) or looking out the window but when I went on my daily walk I saw this shed with these old, tragic looking windows.  I couldnt reisist.

November Photo Challenge-Pattern

Pattern is the topic today and what better way to show that than with a spider original? 

November Photo Challenge-Alone

I am starting this a few days behind.  But a friend of mine said she loved looking at them and that gave me to the push I needed to get started back.  So bare with me as I play catch up. 

Alone is the first topic.  And I found this baby mushroom on the side of a tree and it totally spoke to me and said I am all alone.  lol.  Isn't it adorable?

behind the scenes.

My children amaze me with their quirkiness.  They are so goofy and always can make me laugh.  Even though when I am trying to discipline them they seem to turn it on it still makes me giggle even if I don't let them see it.  They are full of life and laughing their way through it.  Here is a few "behind the scenes" photos from our recent shoot. 

My how she has grown.

My 12 years has flown by so fast. It is hard to look at her and not see my little 5lb baby girl.  Sniff sniff. 

My little man

It is time for our annual photo shoot with my children.  I snap away at my kids all year long but only make them pose for me once a year other than our family photos and today was Marchal's turn.  I love to be able to go back and see how much he has grown.  He gets more and more adorable/handsome everyday. 

Yamhill County Wine Country

I love my "drive around" views.  How privileged am I to be able to see this everyday!

Coastal Views....AH!

One of the many reasons I LOVE Oregon, the coast.  It isn't the same as the sandy beaches back home in Alabama but there is something about all the rocks and hidden caves that capture my interest.  

Hess family

I got to spend the afternoon with this wonderful family.  It was one of the last warm and sunny days here in Oregon.  We met up at the park with their dogs in tow and had fun watching their dogs get excited about wanting to play with the other dogs at the park instead of taking pictures.  You can see that the Hess family is a loving one.  Can't wait to take their pictures for Christmas. 

Rain days are here again

Rainy season is in the air.  You can feel it.  Next week, is suppose to be the beginning of the RAIN!  So I wanted to post this to remind if only me of the nice weather days we have had.  Ah, to be able to lay in the grass and watch the clouds.  Lets hope we have a few more of those before Winter gets here.
