{Lasann and Jon} Engagement Session: Eugene, Oregon

The day I was to meet with Lasann and Jon, was the first day I was back from Nashville, on my way home from the airport! It was pouring rain, dreary and dark as I drove from Portland to Eugene. I was so sure that it was going to rain for the shoot, that I even stopped by the store and bought a super cute umbrella! But after I ate lunch and made my way to Alton Baker Park, the skies cleared and the sun came out just in time!! I love when that happens.

 

I think the rain washed the dust off the leaves perfectly! :)

 

Jon had an idea as to where the next shots should be taken...

Lasann and I thought in *front* of the fountain would be more appropriate!

 

 

Huge thanks to you both for meeting up with me on my way home!  I had a fantastic time!

{Karsyn} Newborn Photography: Newberg, Oregon

Oh I just love babies!  Especially when they are teeny tiny and new!  Karsyn made her debut a little early - but you can tell mom and dad couldn't be happier to have her here! Liz and I were sorority sisters at OSU (too many years ago, lol) and its so great to see her in her new role as the Mama :)

Big brother seems to be adjusting well!

 

 

Liz specifically requested this shot - I love it! :)

Thank you so much for having me out to your beautiful home!  Karsyn is SO precious and I know you are going to have an amazing time with her!

{Morgan and Sheila} Wedding: Houston Station, Nashville, TN

This was one of the most exciting weddings I have had the pleasure to be a part of. Morgan and Sheila met just barely six months ago, when Morgan moved from Oregon to Nashville to chase his dream as a singer/songwriter. When they came to Bandon for their engagement session, I could tell that they are a fantastic match!

 

I don't usually get to hang out with the guys for very long, but they hustled to get ready so we could spend more time exploring downtown Nashville for their photo session!

 
 

 

Only Morgan can walk into a bar, and end up on stage singing with the band within 10 seconds! lol

 

Morgan and Dave had no problem with the "serious" look:

Josh on the other hand, needed some more practice!

Dave did double duty as a groomsman and the cake baker!

The brides mom made Sheila's amazing dress, and it was still getting touch-ups when I joined the girls

 

 

Sheila didn't want just a cake, she wanted donuts!!

 

Their ceremony was different than any I had seen before.  The reverend had the bridal party sit down while he had a personal talk with them about marriage - it was very nice! 

 

MARRIED!

 

After the ceremony we headed outside for some portraits with the bridal party.

And *this* would be why I send the boys back to the party as soon as possible...

 

The couple pushed through well however!

 

 

 

The first "Donut feeding" I've seen :)

 

Then the dancing was on!  The couple announced to their guests that they intended to dance to 85% of the songs!  And I think they did it too!

 

 

 

An amazing day for an amazing couple.  Thank you so much for having us out to Tennessee to capture your day!

{Zachary} Senior Pictures: Albany, Oregon

I have known Zac and his family for a long time, probably since Z was in middle school! It is so awesome to see what a great guy he has tuned into! Zac's mom and I finally lined up our schedules, and we headed out and about Sunday morning to explore downtown Albany, and the Albany train station.

 

 

 

Thanks so much Zac!  Good luck with the rest of the football season, and have a fantastic Senior year at South!
