I probably flip through pages and pages of Bridal Magazines such as Grace Ormonde and our very own Portland Bride & Groom and just stare at all the latest beauty in all things bridal. Its so different from the bridal “back in my day” ok well I haven’t been married THAT long but for bridal fashion, its been a while and we were way behind the times… like waaayyy behind. Being a Wedding Photographer, it has allowed me to meet some wonderful and very talented designers that I am proud to now call my friends. I am privileged to be able to Photograph their beautiful designs to show off to the world and I get to play dress up with some lovely models!
I am headed back up to Seattle to Photograph some lovely new designs from Tessa Kim as well as gowns from Bonny Bridal and Miss Tashina and can’t wait to share the images we get. Until then a reminder from our last shoot with the lovely Tessa Kim and her beautiful Headpieces as well as the fabulous Urchin reDesign.
Cheers and happy snow day!!

My New Years was rather empowering to say the least, I sat on a tufted leather chair with glass of champagne in hand ready to toast to a fabulous year but I had one regret that unfortunately I cannot take back, I had not taken hardly any photos of my own little family! There were several moments I can think of that I did not go grab my camera and photograph and it makes me sick to my stomach knowing I will not get those moments back. You see, I have gotten to the point that when I pick up my camera, I feel like Im working or need to take different gorgeous photos 24 7 because that is what is expected of me. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely ADORE what I do and feel so completely blessed but I think I have forgotten to just take a moment and remember that its not just a job, its my life, its what I love deeply..
My own New Years resolution is just that, to simply capture my life as well as others.
I was reminded of this after reading a very powerful blog post about a letter that truly validates what I do for a living and for my own sweet family. Please read http://fototails.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/a-letter-on-my-doorstep-portraits-are-more-than-paper/
Happiest of happiest New Years!

Hi all! Its been a heck of a holiday so far and I have been pulled many directions these past couple of weeks. I haven’t written a personal post in a while and thought I would fill you in on my “MIA-ness”. About a year and a half ago April 2, 2010 to be exact, I got a distressing call with my Grandmother’s digits on my caller id with only a sound of her television on in the background and then dialing on the other end? Hmmm thats weird I thought? allow me to back track just a bit…. about 4 days before Grandma wanted to go get a present for my daughter’s birthday and decide to try the mall and pretty much wore herself out. Again let me back track a little more… My grandma is 92 at this time and yes thats right she drove her own car to the mall.
Ok back to April 2, 2010, Tianna’s birthday party and Grandma decided to stay home because she wasn’t feeling well ( again pretty much wore herself out trying to find a gift). After the first call, she called again and just dialed numbers, almost like she was siting on the phone. After the 3rd time of doing that, I finally asked her to dial twice if something is wrong and she did so I called the ambulance to hustle on over to her home because they could get there quicker then I could. I left my daughter’s party and drove to the house, on the way the ambulance had called and said they were taking her to the hospital because she is not breathing very well. I go into panic mode immediately and go straight to the hospital, where I met my parents there.
Turns out Grandma was actually trying to call but couldn’t say anything because she was having trouble breathing. Long story short, since that day Grandma has not been the same and it has been what seems like a very long road for her and us. She started loosing her memory and basically started loosing…. herself.
We had moved her into an Assisted living home where we thought she would be able to be looked after 24 7 and of course one that was close to our home. We get the call from them saying it is time for us to move her to a facility more equipped for memory loss and… Alzheimer’s Disease. yep that word, I never thought that her Dr. would actually diagnose her with having that only because she is one of the strongest women I know. My Grandma at 92 driving around, going shopping and meeting up for lunch with her friends. My Grandma planning dinners for her family and having us over for every holiday, her soft tickles on our ears and the tops of our heads when sitting next to us, her delightful joy and smile as she lights up any room.
These last few days have been yet another transition for her, confusing her even more then she already is, we have moved her into a Alzheimer and Memory Care Home near us where she will be from now on out and it has been a rather rough transition for all of us. It tears me up inside to see her confusion in her eyes and pulling my arm and asking me “Am I supposed to be doing something right now?”. There were a lot of tears today and a lot of worry in my mind but I know she is going to have the best care possible and she won’t be doing this alone because she has her family who love her dearly.
