    Jodi & Kent: the wedding!

    Jodi and Kent have been a joy to work with from our very first email. When they booked me Jodi was living in Oklahoma for work and Kent was living in Portland. We did all of our talking, details and contracting via calls, email and post, but I still really got to know these two in all of the planning. I loved that Jodi made extra effort to share their story, and lots of details about them. When we finally got together this fall for their engagement session & wedding it was hanging out with old friends.

    The love these two share is so warm and sweet, it really was my pleasure to have them in front of my camera. I had a wonderful time capturing their wedding day especially. The big event was really all about their love and celebrating family & friends. The wedding was held at the beautiful University of Portland campus. I have only been to the campus a few times, so Kent guided us to some beautiful spots on site. All in all it was an amazing day. I should thanks my wonderful second shooter as well. Elisha took some of the photos you see below. I especially love the external shots of the grounds at night she captured.

    Here are a few (yeah right many!) of my favorites from the big day. Sit back and enjoy!

     

    Jodi & Kent thanks again so much for trusting me to capture your big day. It really was a pleasure to meet you two. I am sad you are still down south, you know I am going to have to beg you to come back north one day when babies arrive so I can capture them too! I am almost done with the entire gallery. I should have a link for you shortly.

    Friends and family please leave a comment below if you would like a link to the gallery when it is all ready for viewing.

    cuter, sweeter, and even more fun in 2011

    I met the Kennedy family a little while back while shooting an amazing wedding. They are cute, kind and hilariousness. I loved working with them that winter on family photos last year. When Nicole called again this year to schedule a shoot with just the kids I jumped at the chance.

    We caught some pretty autumn weather and leaves this year for our backdrop. I am not sure how it is possible but the kids were even cuter, sweeter and even more fun this year. We are still getting used to the whole sibling thing in our house, so I love seeing siblings have fun and be so kind to each-other.

    Here are a few of my favorites:

     

    Nicole & Gabe thanks for bringing the kids up to Newberg this year. It was great seeing you all again! Your kids are adorable, and were so good for me. Please tell them to keep getting cuter and I will gladly tease them with my dumb jokes any time. :) I will have the whole gallery up here shortly. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek.

    I love maternity photography.

    One big regret I have in my life is I did not have maternity photos done with my first kiddo.  it was such an amazing time, so many big changes, and so much joy. The few snapshots I do have just do not capture it, oh well. So when I had my son almost 2 years ago (wow where did the time go!) I ended up having one of the most photographed bellies of all time. And I love each and every image. Knowing I will never be doing it again, I am so glad I captured it. :)

    So when I get a chance to capture this special time for another soon to be mama and couple I just love it. Becca and  Ian were great to work with. They love the outdoors and wanted to celebrate this important time in the beautiful fall leaves. We lucked into some great weather a few weeks, and made some great images.

    Here are a few favs from our session.

     

    Becca & Ian thanks again for being suck good sports, and up for all my wacky ideas. I really loved working with you two. I can not wait to meet your little one here soon! The whole gallery will be up here shortly as well.
