The “B” family a modern day “Brady Bunch”

You might recognize the beautiful blond in the below photo. Miss Makenzie is one of my class of 2009 senior reps, and I was lucky enough to spend some time with her entire family this last week.

The B family reminds me of a modern day “Brady Bunch”. Full of individuals for sure, but such fun as a big group. They were up for all my crazy ideas, you have to love that!

I am thinking the kids had no idea what to expect, but we tried to make it fun!

We did some JUMPING…

And of course being teens & pre-teens we had to rock out a little.

We also did some individual shots of the kids. They were all such good sports for me.

I was told certain family members *cough* Canada boys *cough* don’t like to smile. So of course I had to work my magic. You have no idea of the shenanigans going on behind the camera to get these smiles.

Such a beautiful family!

H I had a great time meeting ever last one of your family members! Thanks making the evening fun and being into my crazy ideas. I can not wait to show you all the rest very soon!

Andy and Asumi: beautiful intimate downtown wedding {wedding sneak peek}

When Andy’s mom called me a few short weeks ago something inside me said “land this wedding”. From the first time we spoke I was excited about Andy & Asumi’s big day. The wedding was very small (not over 30 people) and intimate, but incredibly classy and modern. The groom’s family was traveling from Medford (Southern Oregon), and the Bride’s family was coming all the way from Japan. One reason I love weddings is they are all about the joining of two families, and the joining of these two was simply beautiful to be a part of.

We started the day at Hotel 50 in downtown Portland. Here are a few of my favorite “getting ready” shots so far:

After everyone was ready to go I hopped in the limo with Asumi and her parents to go to the church. She was so calm! I was impressed.

The Ceremony was beautiful and the little church was very charming.

After the ceremony we did some family and bridal party shots. I try and make them fun

And then back into the limo to head back to the west side for the reception luncheon.

This absolutely cracks me up. Andy and his niece went straight for the cell phones. They were pretty funny teasing each other.

A few more “couple only” shots in the beautiful Pearl District in Portland.

The reception was held at the Sungari Pearl Restaurant, DELISH! What a great place for a small party.

I always love to find creative ways to do the ring shots and the restaurant had tons of opportunities.

The whole family seemed so happy about this great couple tying the not. Every relaxed and had a great time just talking to eachtoehr. It was a very laid back reception luncheon, I had a great time just snapping away.

Andy, Asumi & Family thank you again for asking me to be a part of your big day. I had a great time meeting all of you and can not wait to show you all the rest of the photos. I hope your travels home all went well, however long the journey was. If you area friend or family reading this please leave a comment on this post so I can email you the password to the whole gallery when it is ready.

Completely Out of Order

You might remember not too long ago a wonderful couple named Coral and Ben. I did post about them here not once but twice

Coral and Ben are from the Midwest so doing a traditional pre wedding engagement session was not an option so we decided to spend some time together at their rehearsal dinner. Or to be more specific their lake side rehearsal BBQ. Coral and Ben had people coming in from all over the country so the BBQ was kind of a pre wedding party. We had tons of fun. These two are just fun in what ever they do. I just finished the couples album (woo hoo!) so I thought I would dig back into the images from their BBQ and show a few of my favs here.

Coral & Ben had their rehearsal BBQ at a beautiful state park. It was perfect, not too hot or too cold. It was also very conveniently close to my home.

This is Coral’s super cute grandma and a cousin or uncle I think. They were all so sweet.

This is Coral’s niece or as I like to call her the “Toddler Whisperer” the kids flocked to her it was so cute.

Our super fun bride, her bride’s maids, a flower girl and a few other cute girls thrown in for fun! Ahhh I love making people jump.

A beautiful little cousin I believe. I am not sure if this cutie is from the Bride’s or Groom’s side, but I fell in love with her curls blowing in the wind in this one. If her Mom or Dad happen to read this post please do email me.

Danny our groom’s sister. The kids also love her. I actually have a few more of them a little while later dog piling her!

Ben our groom and his soon to be brother in law planned a golf tournament for all the guys prior to the wedding. Here they are handing out the awards. They were so funny. I am sure being on the course with them was fun.

And here are all the “golf boys”

And of course I had to drag the cute couple down to the lakeside for a few photos of just the two of them.

I remember looking at these the night before the wedding and getting even more excited to photograph their big day. They are just so beautiful together!

The whole gallery will be online in the next few days in your gallery. Just look for the new “rehearsal” section.

Get up stand up baby! {adorable baby sneak peek}

I am one lucky girl, this summer I have had the pleasure of meeting all kinds of little ones. I have to say I a love it, babies make me happy, especially when I get to point my camera their way. Sweet baby L is no exception, a complete charmer from the very beginning. It was a hot day but this little cutie was still such a good sport for me.

I promised his parents a little peek today and man it was hard to choose. Way too many of this cute little guy to show off. So here are a few of my favorites so far:

Just look at that smile! It was almost too easy with a smile like that.

This little dude is going to be an early walker I can already tell. He LOVES to stand up.

Baby L is a lucky little man too, just look at his gorgeous parents! Sweet too, we had lots of fun.

And like any baby when he got a little cranky we stripped him down, ahhh cures the hot day blues!

Ok this last one i had to throw in because it completely cracks me up. I am not sure if he was starting to teethe or if he was just board but he got a little obsessed at one point with eating my basket. This shot kills me!

Beth & Colby I had a great time with the three of you, even in the heat. Thanks for letting me spend some time with your little guy. Since you found me through Cute little baby A’s challenge I would be happy to do the same for you. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in a mini leather wallet album filled with images of your cute little guy. I know you are web people I am sure you are up to the challenge. There are many more cute ones of your little man coming soon, I can not wait to show you the rest.

Sweet little graduate {baby J sneak peek}

Anyone remember the “red wall baby”?

Well this little diva is just as beautiful and fun at 1 year old as she was in those early weeks. I am so happy to have her as my first graduate of my baby’s first year plan. It has been so fun to watch her grow. Here are a few of my favs so far of her 1 year session.
