Fairfield Homecoming 2012

My sweet friend Tejal asked me to take pictures today for her husbands homecoming, of course I was more then happy to and SO excited for her at that! Tejal is due with their first child in late January, so when her husband left for deployment she was not showing at all. She now has a big beautiful healthy baby bump to show her husband! It was his first time seeing the bump in person today! Such a great moment to capture!

I had so much fun meeting Isabelle and her husband a few weekends ago. We decided to shoot in Dana Point and it was a perfect day! They were total naturals in front of the camera, so it made my job easy! We had a great time and here are some of my favorites from the shoot!

Schuette Family

This is another fun session I did during my quick trip home to Oregon! Tim and his family were so much fun! We decided to shoot at Jenkins Estate and it was the perfect spot on this chilly fall day! I was extra excited for this session because I had not seen Tim in a few years..like since I graduated high school! Tim is the athletic trainer for the high school I attended, and let me tell you he's great at his job! I was always "broken" in someway or another during track and volleyball season and Tim would always fix all us athletes right up! He was such a great role model for all of us and really contributed to my success in high school athletics. I was so excited to meet his family and hang out with them for a bit! Here are some of my favorite moments! Oh and Tim is a photographer! So, I was a little nervous to say the least, but we all had a blast!

Stephanie & Ben ... and Milo!

I have been waiting a few weeks to post these pictures, for a special reason! Stephanie and Ben are expecting! I can not tell you how exited I am for them! It is so fun to have a pregnant friend so close,literally one street over! We are about two months apart, but it is still fun to talk about everything pregnancy related! I was so excited when she told me the news, and even more excited when she asked me to shoot their pregnancy announcement pictures! Of course Milo had to be included! He is going to be a great "furry" big brother! Loving these pictures and how beautiful Stephanie looks, some might say glowing?! ;) Enjoy!

Ford Family 

I can not tell you enough how much fun I had seeing my friend Matt and his beautiful family! Matt and I were roommates back in college for about a year, during that time he was the one who introduced me to my husband, Micheal! So obviously Matt has a special place in my heart! I was excited to head to Portland and finally meet Matt's beautiful wife Jenn and their sweet baby girl, Amelia! We decided to take the pictures at my family farm in Cornelius, and it was just the perfect morning for it! A true Northwest type of day! It was so much fun and I can't wait to see them again! Here are some of my favorites, enjoy!
