{Wyatt} One year old/ Famiy Photos - Vancouver WA

One of my very favorite things about owning this business, and getting to do what I do, is seeing the same folks year after year - and watching them grow. Now, I haven't shot a wedding yet that I photographed the bride or groom as a High School Senior - (but I do hope that day eventually comes!) And certainly not someone as young as little Wyatt, but who knows? I might get to see him as a graduate, and maybe even a groom!  I have known his mama Laura since college, I photographed her and John's Engagement Session - and then their wedding. It was fun to photograph this session in the same location as their engagement session in downtown Vancouver Washington. This little man definitely has them smitten - and why not? Look at the cuteness!!

 

My favorite <3

 

Thank you so much Laura and John for trusting me to capture all the major milestones in your family's life so far.  I look forward to many more!

 

{Jay and Sara} Wedding, Bandon Oregon

I am often asked about what time of year is my favorite on the Oregon Coast. Of course, I love every month in it's own way - January is usually pretty beautiful, I love a suprise dusting of snow in March, a good old fashioned Oregon Coast storm in November - but really? September has to be it for me. All the pieces of the puzzle seem to fall together - the valley cools off, so the fog stays away; the howling winds of July take a break and the temperatures hover near 70. In my experience September on the Southern Oregon Coast is darn near perfect - and it didn't let us down for Sara and Jay's waterfront wedding. 

Sara and Jay lived in this adorable little house - one of a cluster that share a beautiful back yard on the Coquille River, with a perfect view of the lighthouse.

First look!

This is one of my favorites ever!  I love the river, the pine tree the red of the wood - and her gorgeous hair... and of course the *real* smile. <3

Yes, I am on the roof for this shot. Whatever it takes!!

Such a fantastic way to spend a September Saturday.  Thank you both for allowing me to capture it for you.
