A Princess Party

Last Saturday, the children's department in our church (http://www.pfcn.org) hosted a Princess Breakfast for the girls. I setup a backdrop to get some portraits of the princesses in their dresses and it was a LOT of fun! These are just a few of my favorites (Abby, the standard poodle, was the hit of the morning) and I, of course, had to include one of my own special little princess at the end.

Enjoy!

An award winning smile...

I had the honor a few Saturdays ago to take some publicity photos of Rand, who will be receiving the Professional Achievement Award at Northwest Nazarene University, which honors an alumnus whose distinguished record of achievement has brought honor and recognition to the university. Here are just a couple of his images. Congratulations Rand!

A Free Gift!

I've decided to start a new monthly feature on the blog that will (hopefully) directly benefit those that follow the blog regularly. Each month, I will post a link to a high-resolution image with that month's calendar embedded in it. Feel free to use this for your desktop wallpaper, if you so choose. Consider it my gift to you. My cousin Rick (over at http://organizeddoodles.blogspot.com) uses the phrase, "Share if you dare" and I like it! So do that... just send them to my blog to get the updates.

For this first month, I dug into the archives a bit... I was feeling a little tired of the rainy weather here in the Northwest and wanted some sunshine. This photo is from my 2005 trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. So since most of us aren't venturing back to Mexico for a while (thank you swine flu!), I thought I'd bring some of Mexico back to my blog readers. Enjoy!
