I hope everyone had a great Easter! I was able to spend Easter in Ocala, Florida with family. My brother’s kids have been able to take part in the Easter Egg hunt the last couple years. This year Adelaide was old enough to figure out how it all works. She was even shaking her eggs to see which one had candy still in them! It’s always great to see family!

  • Colleen - How adorable. Love their matching dresses.

  • Fran Young - I love these pictures!! I wish I could have been there too, but at least I know a GREAT photographer to capture the moment for me!!

The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind! We went to Disney World before Christmas with my parents and my brother’s family. My mother made my two nieces these two amazing princess dresses to wear at the park. They loved them! I was able to snap a few photos of them in the park. My oldest niece had the privilege of going to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to get her hair and make-up done by a “godmother” who has special privileges to get princess ready! =)

I follow a lot of blogs! They are mostly photographers blogs but there are also some friends blogs and some other great blogs. One of those blogs is Small Magazine. I find inspiration through their images and the artist they feature. They have an on-going project called Small Weekend Photo Project. Recently they choose one of my images I took of my niece for their recent post. You’ll have to check it out. It’s the one on the right with my youngest niece standing at the door. She was actually watching her big brother and sister playing outside and wanted to join them! She is so cute!

No, I didn’t move to Sarasota, FL. I am not sure why the posted me as being from there. =)

  • Fran Young - Yea!! This is twice as nice! One – seeing your picture in it, and two – it’s my grand baby!! I love this shot!!!!

I am sitting in the Charlotte airport waiting for my next flight to Tennessee. I will be in Tennessee for about a week staying in cabins with my family. I am so excited to see all my extended family at the family reunion on the 4th! Since I will be up in the mountains, I will have no phone and no internet for about a week! Although I will miss the technology a little bit, I am looking forward to the break!

If you follow my blog or if you know me at all you know that I spend time out in Oregon every year. Normally I head out here for August and September (hurricane season in Florida.) Well, this year I had a couple weddings to shoot in June, so I came out here a little early.

img_5264bIt’s been a jam packed trip so far. I started off my trip going to Outward Church’s first Sunday in their new building! My good friends Matt and Chris (You’ll see their kids in a later post) started this church a couple years ago. This is such an exciting move! The space is great and I can’t wait to see how God uses this location. It opens up so many new opportunities to serve their community.

I spent a wonderful day with my good friend Bethany, who is not a friend from Oregon, but a friend from the FLorida Keys. Small world =). She came home for a few weeks before she takes off to travel the world for a year.

We hit up one of my favorite places in Portland… Powell’s Book Store. We read some books about her first destination… Guatemala.

This is Matt and Chris’s newest addition to their family! She was born five weeks ago. She is such a sweet baby. We did some photos of her yesterday before we headed to the park with her brother and cousin for a little photo session with the boys.
