fall in oregon

Well post number 2 for my 2013 New Years Resolution of post more personal blogs...well...maybe I'll have to make this my resolution again this coming year and see if I can do better. We had the best time this Fall taking a little get away to the Pacific Northwest with some of our favorite people! Its so hard to remember to take photos for us but everytime I do I'm so grateful after...thank you to my husband for always reminding me to pick up the camera for us! Thank you again Roys for opening your warm home to us with all your love and generosity and to the Groendals for sharing more laughs, memories and your family. Love you all!

pause on a lazy.sunday

Its 2013...amazing. how. time. goes.... looking back on what 2012 brought, what 2013 has in store and everything that got me to this point ..well its just awesome.  so super duper happy in my life and in my business it is nice to sometimes just sit down and reflect, but honestly sometimes I forget. getting so caught up in just going going going that I forget to pause and just be grateful.  so grateful to be where I am now. so lucky to get to do what I love and meet such wonderful people and families along the way. thank you to all the families that have let me in to your lives and trusted me with you memories. thank you for picking me. looking on to 2013 with just two intentions....1. be more artful in my work (this goes back to what i was saying, just take some time to pause and really think) don't be so eager to move to the next shot, be mindful and pause and see more beauty. and 2. take more personal photos. (then maybe frankie won't look at me so strange when i pull out the camera - see bottom pic.)

here is our january shoot and looking toward 2013 with much inspiration and excitement...
