Sneak Peek: The Bixby Family

I've known Kim for about 5 years (since we were both pregnant in '04/05). We actually met online in one of those baby due date groups (I love those!) and soon realized we actually lived within 30 miles of each other. Now she has two, and they are such laid-back and well-behaved kids it nearly had my head spinning. ;-) I'm SO not used to that! Haha!

Photos from our weekend in Lincoln City.
Unfortunately it was a bit too bright to get Em's eyes to open...
Otherwise, I would really love these photos.

It was a great trip. We had a great room in a perfect location. We went swimming and we played arcade games. Lots of Wii Fit as well. Emmalee has had a fear of those ocean waves, but actually got out there on the second (warmer) day and played chicken with the waves. It was fun to watch. More photos to come...

Ivory and Kyle - Part 2

Ivory and Kyle - Part 1


Meet my close friends Ivory and Kyle. I've known them for over 15 years. This was a fun portfolio-building project for me, the location is Luscher Farm in Lake Oswego. They are so in love with each other it was easy to portray.

The "Dave Hill Effect" (super contrast & sharp)


Which one do YOU like best?
