When Caity came to me to ask me to photograph her wedding I had SUCH a dilema! I had already commited to attending a family reunion on that weekend, but she was so sweet… and loved my photography SO much… well, how could I say no? In the end I woke up super early the day of her wedding and drove back to Roseburg just so that I could photograph it and I am so glad I did. You could not ask for a nicer couple, and their wedding was just beautiful! So Caity and Eric here is a little sneak peek for you!

Oh my goodness… I bet you were wondering if I would ever get this online! I can’t believe it has been a week since my last post… sorry faithful readers but it has been a busy busy week for me. This is a slide-show of some of my favorite images from Sarah and Chris’s wedding at Melrose Vineyards.(be sure to give it a minute to load… there is a progress bar in the bottom right hand corner.)

If you haven’t been out to Melrose Vineyards since they did their remodel you really must go! Their tasting room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. the wine is delicious and the view spectacular! Sarah and Chris took a leap of faith and decided to have their wedding at the vineyard before the remodel had even begun. What a clever couple! The weather was perfect the day of their wedding, their families were some of the nicest I have ever worked with, and they are such a fun couple… I know the wedding would have been perfect regardless of where they had it but the location was definitely the icing on the “wedding” cake!

Here are just a couple of my favorite images from the day… her colors were a dark pink and chocolate brown… yummy and so fun!

I had a hard time with this session…. why you ask???… was it the lighting? NO …. was he hard to pose? NO …. did he arrive unprepared? NO …. what could it have been????? Prepare yourselves people… this poor misguided boy is an Oregon State Beavers fan! gasp! I know, I know… I tried to look past it… but it was hard… Just kidding! I mean, he IS an OSU fan… but we had a good time talking college ball and exchanging “civil war” stories.

Keysha is one of my senior models, she is also my second entrant in the national SPA model search. We got so many great shots during her model session… these are of course a few of my favorites!

Riley, Riley, Riley….. what a busy little dude! I have to say that Riley was probably the first toddler that I have had walk AWAY from his cake! Of course once he got a taste of it he was MORE than happy to sit down and have a little snack!

You all know what a huge animal lover I am… I can’t imagine NOT having a pet of some type in my life! I just had to pass this information on to you in hopes that someone will read it and give one of these sweet animals a “forever home”. Shelter animals are often the best option for families because most of them have gone through that puppy/kitten stage and are going to be MUCH easier to assimilate into your home. If you know someone that may be looking for a new “family member” please pass this information along… or use the quick links below to post it to your Facebook or MySpace accounts.

from Saving Grace Animal Shelter:

“On Saturday, August 15, 2009, in recognition of National Homeless Animal Day, the dogs from Saving Grace will be transported away from the stresses of their sheltered lives, to a park-like setting at Mill Creek Bookkeeping, 4900 NE Stephens Street, Winchester (across from the Winchester Nursery).  This off-site adoption event will be held from 1pm – 4pm and ALL dog adoptions will cost only $99 – this cost includes: spay/neuter; microchip; licensing (if age appropriate); initial vaccines (including rabies, if age appropriate); Frontline (flea/tick) treatment, deworming AND a free visit to your preferred veterinarian!

Help us provide one of our sheltered dogs a second chance to love and be loved by a new family.”
