The James Family.

.she said she loved black and white.

me too.

After 2 hours little Noelle liked my lap better then in front of the lens, I loved it but it does leave very limited portrait angles.

here is to blue eyes and sunshine!

3 kids later and still totally into each other. Pretty awesome.

And this would be my favorite shot.

But this one comes pretty darn close. Of course with multiple gifts of hand picked flowers throughout the shoot how could I not but fall in l.o.v.e with this cutie?

much joy,

wenatchee trip part 1 Grace Community Church.

To make a long story short.

I met and did a family sessions with this rad family [the josh mcphersons]

They started a church with their family in Wenatchee WA.

Josh asked me to shoot one of their services.

I said yes.

He said other families might be intrested in sessions.

I said right on.

He did all the bookings and details for me.

I got there and had 12 shoots booked.

In 2.5 days

Engagement session are the best. They are [most the time] cake. The two people you are photographing are totally into each other. They are crazy in love, meaning they are willing to do crazy things with their photographer. They love being close and holding cuddling poses. Joel and Michelle...well this shoot is worth writing about.

They wanted their location to be at the top of Rock Butte, a beautiful spot that over looks Portland. We arrive and the weather was cramping my style a bit. Off and on showers to direct sun breaks. Being an Oregon resident I am use to this dilemma. So we started shooting in the rain, sun, rain. Then it began to rain harder. I am pretty flexible when it come to my camera getting wet but I started to get concerned as it feel harder. As we looked out over Portland we saw huge storm cloud, dark as night. No lie. So we decided to move towards the car. We ended up running for it an cramming into Joel's car as it poured so hard you could not see out the window. Thunder and lightening crashed directly above us. [I was a bit worried...not that I said that. Michelle said the car was the best place to be in the thunder storm and Joel was cracking up...and calling people. So I assumed we would not get struck by one of the lighting bolts.]

We waited it out. Simply because there was no choice. The road would be a mess and we could not think of a better spot that was covered. Within 20 min the dark as night clouds left us. We got out of the car and finished. Here are the results.
