The other day I took some time to photograph things I enjoy – flowers, lady bugs, my daughter. Below are some of my favorites:
I will show you more in the near future…
These ladies are so great! They are part of the Vixen Portraits team and we could not do what we do without their talent (and humor!). They are awesome at doing hair and makeup!! We were in the city doing a shoot awhile back and Holli and I decided to do a fashion style photo shoot of them! Here are some of my favorites:
Holli and I have so much fun with them and we can’t wait to see where the Vixen line takes us next!!
I had such a wonderful time spending the morning with Matt and Becky for their engagement session! We started off at a park in Lebanon and then ended at Matt’s parents house which is where their wedding reception is going to be.
Matt + Becky: I can’t wait for your wedding in June — it’s going to be a beautiful event, plus tons of fun! I truly enjoyed getting to know the two of you and I feel very honored that you picked me to capture your special day! Thank you!! Below are some of my favorites, enjoy!:
Today the Chamber came to my studio to give me a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. My husband took this photo:

I’m now an “official” business in Corvallis. Yippee!
This year I am sponsoring an event close to my heart: Relay for Life at Oregon State University. This event is the largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The reason it is close to my heart is because when I was in college my Mom, Dad, and cat all had Cancer in the same year. It was absolutely devastating. Luckily, my parents survived the Cancer.
We need all the support we can get at this event! The event is this weekend May 14th & 15th in the Memorial Union Quad. I donated a gift certificate for the silent auction as well as provided a special discount to the participants . For more information go to the website:
Luminaries are written in memory or in honor of somebody’s battle against cancer. Below is a beautiful photo taken of the luminaries by Michael Lee:
