Some things I saw on my travels (in no particular order):

The beautiful Redwoods:

My last trip was designated to my Dad's memorial. He wanted to be spread on top of Bald Hill in Mendocino county, which is where he grew up. Below is my sister setting him free:

My brother:

I should have just thrown the ashes like my sister and brother did!:

These images are great for capturing your beauty and they make awesome gifts for your significant other or for yourself! The images taken stand for: Beauty, Empowerment, Femininity, and Class. This line of photography is for women of all ages! We just did a Vixen marathon shoot on Saturday and below is a testimony from one of our Vixen clients:

Sara: I just wanted to say thank you again to you and Holli. Yesterday was amazing and I had so much fun doing it!! Looking at a couple of the pictures, they turned out better than I ever thought they could. I do not mind if you want to use any of them on your website. The few I saw really turned out amazing and I am proud of them. I can't wait to see all of the final pictures. I will definitely spread the word about you guys. Thank you again! –Amber

Darren & Audra's Wedding at Five Pine Lodge in Sisters, Oregon

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:55:00 +0000

Last weekend Angela and I photographed a wonderful wedding at Five Pine Lodge in Sisters. I had never been there and it's a gorgeous place to have a wedding especially if you are a nature person! Everything was perfect for this wedding. Every wonderful detail was well thought out and things ran so smoothly. The ever-so-talented Adrienne Kume was the coordinator and it was great working with her!

I felt very honored to be part of this special day. I could feel the love in the air and I knew that everyone there played a very special part in the Darren and Audra's lives. Thank you Darren and Audra and your families for including me!

Below are a few of my favorites. Some of the fabulous details:

Angela and I had fun with the ring shots!:

Carson & Hayley's Engagement Session in Albany, OR

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 02:17:00 +0000

I met with Carson and Hayley earlier this week during one of the gorgeous warm days that we had. It was a perfect evening and we had a great time getting to know each other a bit. They told me they love black and white which I thought was great because that's my favorite too! I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites so I decided to just show all of my favorites!:

Love the silhouette:

Carson is a dentist in Albany -- check out his website! The first time I met them I said to Carson "Aren't you too young to be a dentist?". I hope he took that as a compliment because that's how I meant it! :) I think young successful entrepreneurs keep the business world fresh and exciting, which is a good thing!

Sierra | Model Shoot in Corvallis, OR

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:43:00 +0000

Sierra contacted me months ago to photograph her for her modeling portfolio. Due to life circumstances and the weather we were just able to get around to it last week. In deciding a location I asked her if she was an urban type girl or a nature girl. She said nature girl so we headed into the woods! A few of my favorites:

Just for fun:

Best friends!:
