it’s the little things…

I'm a bit goofy and always ready to have a good time - I love making clients laugh...it just so happens it's usually at me and some random thing I am doing to get "the shot" - If it's nice outside, I guarantee I will be found sitting in a patch of sunlight soaking in the rays - I tend to miss speak right when I am trying to be sassy, ... so I just end up sounding silly - I love all the noises a new baby makes be it cute or gross - My socks never match and I am proud of it - I avoid cleaning the bathroom like it's the plague. It comes from growing up with two brothers and always being on bathroom duty - I found out the hard way that garlic does NOT compliment everything... and now my husband doesn't let me in the kitchen unsupervised - I still get giddy and jittery before every wedding I photograph - I once thought the biggest gift of being self employed was making my own hours, now I know it's the luxury it gives me to raise my son (born April 2011) without the need of daycare - I love riding my bike, but don't have the constitution to make myself work out regularly - I believe that following your dream is not the easiest path but is definitely the most rewarding one. My dreams since I was 18 was to find the man of my dreams (check), raise a family (check) and create images for a living (check) - oh... and if you want to make me laugh, tell me a poop joke. Works EVERY time.

VW cruise to Seaside, OR

Posted in the weddings No comments

This weekend was a blast! Pete, me, Levi, Jerry, Sarah, and Becca(#2) went on a VW cruise from Portland, OR to Seaside, OR. Since my friends and I live in Seattle, that means we had a bit of a hike for us to get to the first leg of the weekend. We met up early on Saturday with about 100 other VWs… thats 100 other cars, so probably more like 200-250 people in Hillsboro (which is right by Portland). We all then hopped in our cars and took over highway 26 to Seaside. We all stopped at Camp 18¬†restaurant¬†a couple of miles from Seaside and took over their parking lot. Sadly I have to say though that the $18 they charged a person for brunch was probably the worst $18 I’ve ever lost.Then we spent the rest of the weekend having fun and playing in Seaside. We lucked out on Saturday because it was in the upper 70s for the first time this season. Talk about a perfect time to find yourself with good friends, a bikini and the beach.

Part 1 VWs

Part 2: Fun in the Sun : }

this is why the Oregon coast is so much better than the Washington coast…. notice the lack in rocks and the abundance of sand!!!

Its not very often I get my husband in the heat and the sun AND posing for a picture. I was a very happy girl all weekend.

Our celebratory drink!

I love chihuahuas

And Part 3: The drive home

We decided to take the winding path home so that I could get some pictures, and well, why not right?

We took Highway 101 up the coast till Aberdeen, WA and then headed back towards I-5. When we stopped in Aberdeen I was so excited by this one old abandoned building that I made all of my friends model for me. They laugh at me when I get super excited about a picture idea cuz I kinda dance around in excitement. It works for me, cuz then they are willing to be my subjects mmmmmmouahahahaha (that was supposed to be an evil laugh)
