From my personal collection...

Recently Paul and I were out scouting new locations for outdoor portraits for the upcoming holiday season.

We found a local park tucked away offering nice light, an uncluttered background and privacy. We decided to test the location by shooting some self portraits.

We had a great time playing in front of the camera and I found another nice backdrop for my on-location portraiture clients.

A VERY SPECIAL visit...



This past weekend our daughter Jamie and granddaughter Olivia came up from Oregon.

We had a very nice visit and I was able to take lots of photos. It's not easy chasing a 16-month old, but she was a good sport and didn't seem to mind the flash constantly firing.

ONE of my beautiful niece's (I have three!)

Right before school starts each year, my niece will call and ask if we can have a "girl's night." We had our girl's night last Friday and the plan was to take photos. She's a fantastic model for me to try out new techniques and locations. We had a wonderful time together!
