As I say all the time, I love a chance to shoot somewhere new. But when that somewhere happens to be one of the Willamette Valley’s most critically acclaimed restaurants, capturing the lovely family that owns and runs the place was a special treat. Oh and did I mention the cherry on top was an incredibly adorable toddler? The entire extended family was just wonderful to capture. We lucked into a clear & pretty winter day, and had a lovely time exploring the property inside and out, we even got to tromp through the kitchen! We may have let the cute little guy pound on pots & pans a bit too, it was so fun. Yeah, it was pretty much delicious all around. 🙂

Here are a few of my many favorites from our time together.

Chris & Mary thanks again to being up for anything! I had a great time capturing your family and especially that cute little guy. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. I will be done with the gallery very soon.

One thing I love about working with families is seeing different dynamics at play. Seeing families in action is always fun for me, but every once in a while one hits really close to home. Working with the Couture family was just that kind of afternoon. They were full of silly faces, poop jokes, and increasingly hilarious antics. I felt like I fit right in. 🙂 This family had so much love, and so much fun for each-other, and it was my pleasure to capture it with my lens.  From super cute and stylie Mom & Dad, to two hilarious pre-teen brothers, and of course darling baby sister I totally loved them all to bits.

We had way too much fun, here are a few of my many favorites…

Emily & Brian thanks again for making the trek out to the studio, and braving the weather. I had SO much fun with all of you. I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek, I will have the whole set up very soon. For now I would love to throw down a blog comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post I will set in a set of those darling brag books on the house. So leave some love people!
