The New Move

It's been a long time since I've had a blog entry and I do apologize. For those of you who do not know, my family and I have relocated to Washington state. This has been a huge adjustment and we are still trying to adapt. We are located next to the beautiful Columbia River and everything is about 10 minutes away. We're about 3 hours away from Portland, OR and 3 1/2 hours away from Seattle. It's all very exciting and nerve racking at the same time.

I do hope to get back to photo blogging soon. Once I get caught up with things on the west coast, look out!

Cole is Turning 2!!!

My son's 2nd birthday is tomorrow and I cannot get over what a big boy he has become. These last two years have been some of the best years of my life, thus far. All week, I have been finding myself reminiscing about special moments from the past two years. Things like the day he was born, his baby smile, the first time he fell off of our bed! Where does the time go? They grow so fast and as parents, we can only hope to capture a glimmer of those special moments on camera to help us remember as our memories begin to fade. Happy Birthday Cole! Mommy loves you more than words or photos could ever say.

The Morgan Boys

On Monday, I met with Carol and her two fabulous boys at Cox Arboretum for a photoshoot. The boys were so wonderful! Her oldest was so enthusiastic that he even would suggest places for their pictures to be taken. By the end of the shoot, I felt like I had a little assistant. I had such a great time! I can't wait to work with them again.

Corns/Gengler Photo Shoot

Before I had Carlin, I was asked to do a photo shoot for Rachel and Robin and their children. We met at Cox Arboretum and I had a great time. The kids were absolutely fantastic! I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Blunck Family Shoot

In late June, I was given the opportunity to do an impromptu family shoot for my friends and neighbors. This meant so much to me since they are now residing in California. I hope all is going well for them on the west coast.

Welcome to the Family

On Wednesday, July 23rd, the newest member of our family was born, Carlin. She weighed in at 8lbs and 4 ozs and was 20 3/4 inches long. Today, Carlin had her 2-Week Well Check with the pediatrician and she is doing absolutely fabulous! She now weighs 9 lbs and 10 ozs and is 21 1/4 inches long...BOTH are in the 90th percentile. It's amazing how fast they grow.

Spahr Maternity Shoot

I had the wonderful privillege of doing Stephanie's maternity shoot last month. At the time, she was 36 weeks along and was absolutely gorgeous and glowing. I couldn't have asked for a better subject to shoot. This was my first maternity shoot and I am so happy with the outcome. I'm hoping that I'll have the opportunity to work with Stephanie again. Good luck with the new baby Steph!!!!
