Oregon | Cannon Beach

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!

March 14, 2010 - 1:29 am lacy dagerath - Hey!!! So...I think you walked into the John Michael Coopers Backwards wedding workflow class late.. and stood in front of me for a while... I think your hair was up..and you were wearing a denim jacket? If it was you...I was going to say hi...and then you walked over and snagged a seat on the front row (of the back section)...and I left soon after... Anyway! Random! I hope that is you...otherwise I am a loser! :D

Destination Wedding | Puerto Rico

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.

December 18, 2009 - 1:31 pm Tim Halberg - great job on this shoot. so many photogs shoot destination weddings, and you'd never know it was somewhere outside of their hometown, cause they don't show what the area looks like, but you nailed it!!

Washington

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!

The Capitol Building | Austin, Texas

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!
