Discovering Beauty

It has been a long time since I have posted any pictures, mostly because I have not taken any in a long time. I have been suffering from morning sickness and have not been up to doing much. But it's for my baby and totally worth it! :-) Anyway, I decided to dust off the camera and take some photos in our yard. It was a lot of fun. The Pink Cosmos have been blooming all summer and have spread like crazy!! They literally have taken over!! My dog land enjoys rummaging through the long stocks and smelling the flowers. It is quite funny!(And and FYI, for what ever reason when I upload my images the blog site changes the coloring in them. It's very frusterating! But you get the gist of what they look like! :-)

Quality Mom Time!

Last weekend we spent some quality family time at the coast. The weather was beautiful and I couldn't resist taking some snaps of my mom. She proved to be quite the model! It was so much fun!! Thanks mom!! Love you!:-)

Simple wonders

When I was a child I used to love to blow on these "puff balls" and watch the iridescent petals float about me in wonder. A simple piece of creation to awe inspire the child-like mind. But now, as an adult ,I am inspired to take a closer look and discover that something which appears to be simplistic, is much more intricately designed.
Both of these pictures were taken on our camping trip to the Wallowas where we were inspired by every turn at God's Creation.

(This picture originally was void of much color other than grey rock and white water. So I decided to add some color tone to make it more interesting.)

Girl Time!

Yesterday the girls and I went to Washington park in Portland for a little girl time/ photo shoot! It was blistering hot and we were all melting, but it was still a lot of fun! Thank you to my beautiful models--Kiah, Imaya and Linnea!

Family Pics

My wonderful husband and I had a fun Saturday shooting some family pics. The lighting was fabulous and Of course I couldn't resist taking snaps of my very own male model. Isn't he hot??!! :-) It was a fun day!

Little Linnea Hope

One evening I had the privilege of baby sitting little LInnea. She is a doll!! I decided to do an impromptu photo shoot, which was no easy task. You definitely need a couple pairs of hands when a baby is involved (and a dog). But it was fun and she and Lando became kissing buddies.

Good Sport

My wonderful husband was such a good sport modeling for me. He was my first photo shoot with my new camera (which is smarter than I am I might add). I am looking forward to learning more and seeing what we (the camera and I) can do together!
