Andy+Heather+Ella+Baby Girl = Fun and Laughter

When Andy and Heather contacted me about doing some family photos, I knew it would be a fun shoot. Little Ella was a blast and is really excited to be a big sister in just a few months! These photos were taken in Washington Park, in and around the Rose Garden, where Andy and Heather had some of thier wedding photos taken. Thank you Andy, Heather, Ella, and Baby Sister for a fun afternoon!

Spreading the word...

...about Organized Doodles! What's that you say? Well I happen to call the author of http://organizeddoodles.blogspot.com a relative of mine. My cousin (okay "second cousin" if you want to get technical) has a wonderful God-given talent for drawing.

His "organized doodles" are one of my daily stops in the blogosphere and I'm happy to call this harley-riding, incredibly talented, pastor my family. In fact, I don't think I ever properly thanked him for helping me out in college with a t-shirt design my freshmen year, so "Thanks Rick!"

Check out his site today and send him some blog-love...tell him I sent you. Or better yet, order a caricature as a Christmas gift for a loved one. Besides, Rick's just paid for a wedding, he could use the boost! :)

Introducing Rebecca Lynn...

"Rebecca Lynn, grew up in Carolina... half a mile from Tucker Cherry's farm. A quiet girl, with green eyes full of fire... Her daddy's pride and all her mama's charm..."

I thought of those lyrics that my former high-school classmate Bryan White wrote a few years back when John and Amy told me they had chosen that name for their little girl that was on the way. Well, little Rebecca Lynn decided to grace us all with her presence quite a bit earlier than planned, and I had a chance to see up close that she has all of her daddy's pride and mama's charm in one tiny little package. Congratulations, John and Amy... she's beautiful.

Ryan = Senior '09!

I had a lot of fun downtown in the Pearl District with Ryan. We even took the lacrosse photo I posted earlier in a construction area nearby. Congratulations Ryan!!









Ryan and his friends love tie-dye... although selective color can be a bit cheesy sometimes, I think it fit this shot here. What do you think?




And who can forget the slideshow! :)

Sneak Peek - Ryan

More to come!

Andrew - Senior 2009!

I had a great time taking Andrew's Senior pics last week in Lake Oswego, right near the shores of the Willamette. We had a lot of fun climbing down to the water for a few shots and I wasn't sure what I was going to do if one of us fell in. We made it though, and when all was said and done, I had a hard time picking out favorites from the session. I narrowed it down to a few, but you can see much more in the slideshow below! Thanks again, Andrew, for letting us be a part of your Senior year, and congratulations!
