Each year Valentines Day sneaks up on me. I am usually first overcome with the panic of wondering what to do, how to show my love to my hubby, and then I’m reminded that I want to do the same for my kids! Ahhhh, what to do, what to do?!? The kids spent a little time making some Valentines on Friday, so at least they’re ready for it!

I am sooo happy to live in a place with climate change, because though I love certain aspects about each season, I am thoroughly bored after three months of one particular type of weather and dying for the next season. Today I find myself 2 long months into the winter season and I have spied the first glimmer of spring! Just the thought of falling into the next season puts a little spring in my step (wasn’t that sentence just full of seasonal puns!?)!

Work or play? [Corvallis, Oregon Photographer]

I am working on a new framing job. I’m not really sure if it was work or play though since I’m not sure what you call sanding wood and dancing at the same time.

From shoot to frame [Corvallis, Oregon Photographer]

I finished a custom frame a little while ago and it was soooo satisfying. I enjoy the whole process of doing photography and don’t think I’ve had a photoshoot yet that I haven’t thoroughly relished. The next step of choosing proofs and editing the images to their final product can get a teensy bit repetitive, but still gives me such a great feeling once it’s done. I think you can see where I’m going with this, but just to make it clear, the icing on the cake is to actually see, touch, and hold the photo as a print or canvas.

I need to gush a little bit about canvases now, because there is such a coolness about what they can do to your photo! It definitely depends upon the printer that produces the canvas, but when you use a quality printer, the product is outstanding! I like to make the photo even better by making a frame out of REAL wood that just begs to be touched. Ok, I’m a little bit of a wood snob, but the mass produced frames that have some sort of color and grain slapped on as a finish just don’t count!

Hmmm, I don’t mean for this to sound like a commercial. Perhaps it’s more of a way of sharing my joy in the work I do. And I really couldn’t do it without all of you, because having the chance to photography y’all is what makes this whole thing possible! Thank you so much!!!

Abi + Micah Engaged [Corvallis, Oregon Wedding Photographer]

I’ll begin by talking about the weather. That’s what I do when I don’t know where to start, right?!? It’s a totally ‘legit’ thing to share about the weather on this particular JANUARY day at the Oregon Coast, because it was phenomenal! Sun and NO WIND made the afernoon one of the most beautifully clear and pleasant days I’ve spent at the Oergon coast in years. And it is just the right way to start off Abi and Micah’s engagement photos!

Before even getting the beach, we spent an hour in car getting to know one another a little better. I was struck by a couple things right off. Abi and Micah, before even meeting, shared the same dreams and goals for life. And it’s easy to see how excting and joyful it was for them to meet someone that had the same vision.

Their joy for life is also evident. It’s strong, purposeful, and they are more than willing to share. I came away from a few hours with them energized and happy to be alive. Abi and Micah, you are a dream to spend time with!!

And just because I can’t help but go on about the weather, it was sooooo clear and crisp (not cold, just good sweatshirt weather!) with the warm sun on the face…mmmmm…what a day!!
