My first day of non-full-time employment and I had to be up earlier than when I was working full-time! Because of the time difference, my 8:00am registration appointment became 6:00am Pacific Time. Fortunately I managed to get all the class times I wanted, condensing school to Mon-Wed, leaving Thurs/Fri free for studying, working part-time &...

Kell-Bell & Co.
One of the last volunteers (victims?) to my request for photography subjects is also one of my oldest friends, Kelly, going back over 20 years. We met through our sisters, both named Brandi, and we quickly became “The Kellys.” Roaming the halls of junior high it was a big joke to call out to the...
The Rydmans: Take 2!
With Raja sick the first time around, we decided to try one last time to get some family photos of one of my favorite families, the Rydmans. Wanting all the photography practice I can get, I certainly don’t complain about needing a re-do. A few of my favorites…
M + A = Still in L*O*V*E
Friends Molly & Adam decided to go back to where she said the first “Yes” that would lead to the “I Do’s” that happened just over 8 years ago. It was just the two of them and the beach (and me, who was honored to capture this celebration for posterity). Here’s a peek at their...
Jack(son) & Sawyer: Not Lost
If you’re looking for Jack & Sawyer, they are no longer LOST. I found them at a park in Monrovia. Well, I didn’t really find them there so much as I drove with them and their mother to this park in Monrovia. You see, the mother is an old friend of mine since junior high...

They actually aren’t afraid to ask you out! And they pay! And we grow them tall and strong!” Although midwestern men was not on my list of...

Oh, sweet Pig! You try so hard.

The Portland Osborns: Days 4-6
Nearing the end of my Portland trip recap! My last 48 hours were spent with my dear friends the Osborns, who had relocated to Portland last fall. Filled with fun, our time went by way too fast. Among other things we… Took family photos (Here are a few of my favorites) Abby & I rode...
The Portland BAM’s: Days 3-4
Saturday morning I met up with the Osborns to do a little family photo shoot (look for a post later), while Mike played in an Imago Dei kickball tournament. We returned home and had lunch, a nap for Audrey, and then that previously mentioned UH-MAZE-ING donut. Here it is again, along with a few signs...
