This morning our little family ventured over to one of our favorite parks and literally chased a flock of turkeys for 2 hours. How appropriate, right?? :) Alex loves turkeys and was gobbling the entire time. As we "ran" up and down the hills after the gobblers I couldn't help but laugh as I was panting like a dog lugging my camera and 7-month pregnant belly through the woods. What a workout!! Alex was in heaven though (and so were we). It's simple mornings like this that I hope I never forget...and I will be forever thankful for.

We are especially thankful this year as we wait patiently for Alex's little sister to arrive. She is due to join our family near the end of January and we just can't wait to meet her. :)

Here are a few photos of our little man this morning (the turkeys kept running away so unfortunately I don't have any blog-worthy photos of them...I wonder why??) :)

Now that Alex is 18-months-old we sometimes get expressions like this....:)

... and we hope your brother doesn't make the face above when you come home with us. :) We can't wait to meet you little girl!!

I would just prop his chubby-self up, he'd smile, and I'd snap away. Now, it's an entirely different story. He is CONSTANTLY moving, running (normally sprinting towards my lens) and trying to get into mischief. It's a good challenge for me though. :) A huge thank you to my oh-so-patient husband for helping me chase our little lion (AKA tornado) while dealing with me...the perfectionist photographer. :)

Happy Halloween everyone!

The reception at Porter ... Frye in Hotel Ivy featured an 8-foot ice sculpture, a magnificent 52-inch cake that reached up into a chandelier, and a master sushi chef. These are just a few of the many details that added a "wow" factor to the night. The vendors listed below helped pull-off this unforgettable day for an incredible couple.

Vineyards and they so graciously flew me out to document their day. As you will see from the photos, we had a lot of laughs and I got to capture some pretty amazing moments.

Meghan ... Ryan, I am so incredibly happy that you two found each other. I can't thank you enough for inviting me to be a part of your wedding...I will never forget it. :)


Meghan's bouquet was AMAZING! I just love when people think outside of the box. :)

The jewelry Meghan wore were replicas of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

I may or may not have said something inappropriate...but hey, it made for a great photo :)

:)

Mt. Hood even decided to join the party

The reception was at the fabulous McNamara Alumni Center

How do I end up with the best clients?? :) Becky and Scott's day was nothing short of exceptional and I had a blast photographing every moment of it. Becky ... Scott are a very special couple and on their most-special day, they were surrounded by so much love from their family and friends. It was a pleasure being a part of it and such an honor to be the one capturing their special moments.

Thank you so much Becky ... Scott! I just loved being your photographer. :)

Their personalities complement one another so well to the point where it's even evident through the lens of a camera. I absolutely love photographing couples like Natalie and Mike! Their wedding day was absolutely perfect...the Minnesota weather was beautiful, the ceremony and reception were fantastic, the bride and groom were stunning and there was so much love amongst friends and family. Congratulations again Natalie and Mike - thank you so much for inviting me along on your special day. :)

These guys invented the short-sleeved suit :)

My heart now knows a love it had never experienced before you. Thank you for bringing such joy to our lives Alexander. I smile every single day because of you. :)

I love you more than words could ever begin to explain and I promise to put all of my effort into being the best mom I can be for you.

Happy 1st birthday sweet Alex!

Love,
your mom :)
