    a nurse and a fire fighter get married…

    Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke right? No joke here, just the results of  a wicked fun wedding. I had the pleasure of working with the super talented and over the top fun Kacy Jo for this one. I know I have said it before, but working with other photographers is always fun for me. There are a million ways to shoot a wedding, and it is always fun to see other photographers in their “zone”. Kacy is a riot, and this particular couple Marie & Jeff had us on our toes and laughing all day.

    Ok I will stop talking, look here are a few (too many!) of my favorites from the day.

    It was crazy hot that day, but they made it work. I love Marie’s expressions here, she cracked me up.

    Check out that dip! Jeff & Marie did this great choreographed first dance, it was so cool!

    And of course the “father daughter dance” had me tearing up, I am such a sap for that stuff. These two are super close so I know it was an important moment for them, and Dad can dance!

    Jeff & Marie also did this great dance to honor all the couples who had been married for many years. The couple who had been married the longest went home with a lovely gift, it was very sweet.

    And anyone who has ever read this blog before knows I am a sucker for cute kids dancing at receptions. This one had no shortage of cute little ones. And these boys and girls had some mad dance skills. I was impressed!

    And the “small girl with the big camera” herself ms Kacy Jo. Thanks for asking me to come help out! I had a great time even in the crazy hot weather.

    All grown up! {S family sneak peek}

    I got a email inquiry last month that made me smile.  Kimberly emailed asking if I could do photos of her and her college age brother and their dog as a special holiday surprise for their parents. It had been many years since their family had been professionally photographed and there were none really reflecting the adults they had grown into. She wanted to give their parents something she knows they would love, and I thought it was an awesome idea. I know when I slip my mother in law a photo of my husband she adores it. Kids may grow up, but they are always someones baby right! I also loved that they included their parents dog too, because you know when the kids move out the dogs often become the new baby of the family!

    Well despite the sporadic rain we met this weekend to do a full session, cute dog and all. We tromped all over the George Fox University campus and did our best to have fun and capture some great fall colors. Here are a few of my favorites so far!

    Isn’t Candy adorable! Such a sweet old girl.

    It was so fun to have a big sister/little brother on hand to get some real laughs and smiles out of these two. :)

    They even threw in some OSU pride in the shoot. Something that is apparently still very important to the parents. Go Beavers! (wait I am a PSU Viking I can’t say that!)

    Kimberly & Scott I had a great time meeting both of you, Thanks for being flexible with the crazy Oregon weather. You two are hilarious together, you made the dreary afternoon lots of fun, and of course Candy! I am sure she was wiped out for hours after so much activity. I will have the rest of the set for you very soon.

    And because it is the holiday season lets do another comment challenge! Kim & Scott if you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post I will give you a $25 print credit towards one of the coffee table style books you guys liked! Happy commenting!

    Just for FUN

    I came across this fun website wordle.net/ on a photography forum the other day and just had to try. It “reads” your website or blog and gives you a fun smattering of word usage.

    Here is mine for this blog:

    Apparently I use FUN allot! Well that’s how I like it so I guess it works! :)

    Remember I am almost booked for October for FUN family, seniors & kids sessions, if you want to put some FUN into your holiday photos give me a call or throw me an email asap!
