Just got back from another fabulous trip to Portland, Oregon. What a great visit! I loved exploring the Oregon coast with a toddler. I loved giving H a beach day in April!
I was so excited to head to Cannon Beach on a brisk April Day… and guess what.. the sun came out!

Totally coincidence to find your love’s initials written in the sand!

This girl likes to crawl, crawl, crawl!

H was having a blast playing in the sand!


I can’t believe we saw the end of the rainbow!

Of course some PJ time from a toddler’s view


I’m back at my annual convention in Vegas! I love this time of year!!!! It’s so great to get inspired, find new products and reconnect with friends. Here’s a fun image from the lensbaby booth with my god friends Nicky (EIght 20), Tara Rochelle, and Shannon Renee.
I’ll be out of the office until Thursday, 03.12.10. I’ll be returning emails and voicemails then.
Ceremony magazine has been published!!! If you haven’t gotten a copy already you can find these at Barnes & Noble! I could spend hours going through this magazine! All the details are amazing! There are so many images to give you tons of ideas for your wedding.

I love this image from Alyssa and Jeff’s wedding. Such a beautiful way to decorate for the cocktail hour!

Love these spreads on bridesmaids and groomsmen. My images are the lower left groomsmen pic from Meg & Judson’s wedding. The other image that’s mine is Andrea’s bridesmaids from the Westlake Village Inn! It’s featured in the middle on the bridesmaids page.

Two really great spreads! The image of the church & La Venta Inn are mine!

Love the details & engagement sessions! My images are the purple Roberto Cavalli’s & Lauren + Matt’s Santa Barbara engagement session in front of the Arlington theater.

My featured wedding was Karmela & Sal! Thanks to Sera from the Dezign Shop for the amazing florals & details. She is amazing!



For those of you on a RSS feed, the site just got a major style update. Same branding, just a little cleaner, more modern design. Updated all of the information and vendor list. Let me know what you think! Enjoy!
I had a fabulous time playing around with my friends Shannon Renee, Tara Rochelle, Stephanie ad Nicky from Eight 20! Here are some of our shots!









Steve & just got back from the best destination wedding! Barbara & Jason had an amazing wedding at the Ritz Carlton in San Juan. On the day of the rehearsal we did an engagement session in Old San Juan. I had the best time scouting Old San Juan looking for great spots to take portraits. As you can see Puerto Rico is blessed with so many fabulous locations and architecture.

I headed back up to Portland to visit Karyn for her birthday. Hayden is six months now so she was tons of fun! We had a great time at The Stepping Stone resturant. They have the best mancakes! yes, giant size pancakes! yummy!!!



We headed to Multnomah falls to get some fun pictures!




I was so excited to stop in Seattle. I’ve always wanted to visit. Pike’s fish market was at the top of my list! It was poring rain all the way from Portland so I was so happy when it stopped raining 10 minutes before I arrived in Seattle. Of course it starting raining as soon as I got back in the car to head north to Lynden!


There was a bunch of really good swing dancers just having fun in front of the market!

Since Deadliest Catch is one of my favorite shows I had to go to Pike’s fish market and see some crab!

I’m so glad the weather was clear for a trip to the top of the Space needle!

Saturday I headed out with My Annt Candi to go wine tasting in Lynden. We started with breakfast at the Rusty Wagon. Yum! I love all the farms in Lynden!



If you are ever in Bellingham you have to go to Woods Coffee shop on the bay! Great coffee and I can’t imagine a better view!



Sunday morning on my way back to Portland I had more one stop in Seattle. I had to see the docks from Sleepless in seattle. I had such a great time drinking my Starbucks and enjoying the rainy view!

I headed out to Austin, Texas to visit my friend Rita. It was an awesome mini-vacation. Austin is the capitol of live music and I loved the warm welcome in the airport. Live blues in the bar as soon as you got of the plane! We went out on a Tuesday and there was live music everywhere. I wish I could have stayed for the weekend. South Congress is such a great place to live. Here are some images of the capitol building. We had a toddler that was such a energetic tour guide!





I’m so excited to celebrate my one year anniversary with my wonderful husband today! I can’t believe it’s been one year already! Last year at this time we were saying our vows in Maui. I’m so blessed. Love you baby!
