Tiffany and Mason's Vineyard Wedding

Tiffany and Mason were married at a gorgeous vineyard called Cubanisimo, located in West Salem. There are only 8 weddings a year at this vineyard which is privately owned. The owners live at the vineyard and graciously open their home and their lives to brides and grooms throughout the summer. Every corner of the property boasts picturesque scenery. The home is amazing and the welcoming staircase is a no brainer spot for at least a few shots. Here are some photos from Tiffany and Mason's special day. I'm so honored that they allowed me to be a part of their experience. Thanks so much guys! Congratulations again!

Vacation!!!

My husband's Aunt and Uncle live in White Lake, Michigan and family came from many different corners of the country to get together for a vacation. Our days consisted of shopping at the mall, hanging out by the pool, checking out the Henry Ford Museum, catching frogs, playing with the doggies, and eating. Lots and lots of eating!! Nights consisted of - more food (of course), karaoke singing, drinking Uncle Curt's wine collection, playing insanely fun card games, and lots of laughter. Midway in to our trip Uncle Curt planned a romantic date for me and my husband. He lit all his tikki torches by their amazing pool and patio and set up his hot tub for us to have some quiet time under the stars after Benjamin fell asleep. I told Jeff as we walked down to the picturesque scene that it looked like something out of the Bachelor (or Bachelorette). We were treated like royalty the entire time. It was clear that Uncle Curt and Aunt Renee thought of everything possible to keep everyone comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Our room had a basket full of snacks and not just a little basket with peanuts and juice, but a basket packed with the good stuff. Candy, crackers, waffers, beverages, and pretzels. I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. :-)

The best part of everything was just being able to spend quality time with family. Being able to play together was what I appreciated most. The week flew by and soon it was time to head back to Oregon. I'm so thankful for this trip and we thank Uncle Curt and Aunt Renee for being such wonderful hosts.

Pool time!

My baby is becoming a boy...

Benjamin has this incredible of talent of making my heart melt. He is all boy. From his adorable grin to his star twinkled eyes. His tiny toes to his (sort of) curly locks. When I took this series of photos I almost couldn't believe what I was looking at. My little baby is growing up. He's becoming a little boy. I relish this time with him because it is slipping through my fingers like tiny grains of sand. This is me freezing moments with my beautiful boy as the subject.

More Mylee

I can already tell that photographing Mylee is going to be addicting. I hope my sister doesn't mind if I use Mylee as a model from time to time. Here are some photos that I got just outside their house.
