Karyn and I headed out on an adventure to take some portraits of Hayden. Since we are big wine lovers we took some baskets and headed to wine country. Duck Pond Cellars was kind enough to let us take portraits in the vineyard.. I just love Oregon! Hopefully these photos represent Hayden and Karyn’s family. I can just see more family portraits in vineyards for years to come!

Pears are the state fruit of Oregon!

The whole reason I headed up to Oregon is this beautiful baby below! My best friend Karyn had Hayden…. she’s such a miracle! I loved photographing Karyn and Hayden in the nursery. These special moments are what life is made of!

Meg is such a good dog mommy :D

Hayden loves a good burrito!

Of course we couldn’t get out of the house without having to give Hayden a bath!

A birth story

I had the honor of photographing my friend Katie’s birth session a few weeks ago. I love shooting births! There just isn’t anything more emotional then a wedding… The moments between loved ones just melt your heart. Here’s a story of one family becoming just a little bigger!

I just thought these moments were so sweet! Waiting for baby Isaac to come!

Doesn’t Katie look so beautiful!!! I love her red hair! This one had to be in color :)

I had to get a picture with Katie!

I think the image on the right says it all ;)

I love these moments between couples in the delivery room!

Dad’s so excited! Baby’s about to come!

I had a great time photographing Zhipi’s family at McMenamin’s! We shot for a little bit and then had a great meal. I wish they had McMenamin’s in California!

I had the pleasure of photographing Heather’s girls while I was in Portland. I loved shooting in a new city! Fun time was had by all :)

Oregon Road Trip

chelseaelizabeth — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:31:41 +0000

I started out my trip in Oregon flying into Portland and headed to Bend to visit my friend Karen. The drive was beautiful and I wish I had scheduled some time to stop and take some pictures. It really was a whirlwind trip! I got into town, we headed to a baseball game and then hit downtown. We had a blast! Bend is adorable and I really miss Karen! Good thing she’s coming down this summer!

The amazing view from look out point.

This breakfast place was sooo yummy! Just what the morning called for!

fabulous tour of Bend :)

On Saturday I drove to Medford to visit Shelly. The drive was beautiful! I drove by Crater lake on the way to Medford. I arrived just in time for Shelly’s Baby shower for Baby Brody! It was nice to meet all of Shelly’s friends & family in Medford. On Father’s day we took Roland wine tasting. I love Roxy Ann Winery. It was so good. I’m still kicking myself for not buying that Pear wine. I know Shelly & Roland are going to have so much fun going there for happy hour!

Michelle + Tracy

Michelle and Tracy had a great wedding at Calamigos Ranch’s Oak Grove last weekend. I just love the rustic charm of the site. It’s so cute!!!! Of course I was super excited when I saw bales of hay again! Loved Michelle’s shoes against the bale of hay!!! Calamigos ranch + teal shoes + black & white zebra details + bales of hay = a fabulously styled wedding!
