Happy Springtime!!!

    Sunday, March 31, 2013 Posted inbabies,families,kids,portland or

    Oh my gosh, the past couple of weeks have found me BIZEEEEEEEEEE! We’ve had my birthday, house guests, parties, Spring Break, Zoë’s birthday, and then some. So I apologize for being amiss with my postings. I’m shooting my Sunday today, and the kids go back to school tomorrow so I will be able to spend a little more time at my computer showing you guys what I’ve been up to in pictures.

    In the meantime… I got to spend some time with these cuties in their glorious kid haven of a backyard the other day, celebrating SPRING and the amazing weather we’ve been having in Portland for the past few days!

    I have to admit that my kids are pretty darn cute, but somehow you make their grubby, dirt and snot covered faces look stunning!

    I believe in LOVE!

    I believe in love and families that come all different configurations. I believe in compassion and respect and open-mindedness and acceptance. I believe in equality and inclusivity (is that a word? if not, it should be!!). I believe in kindness. I believe everyone (EVERY. SINGLE. HUMAN.) has a story that is worth listening to. (even the assholes. even if you vehemently disagree with someone’s values. there is a story behind it all.)

    I absolutely believe in gay marriage and love and family. I am so hopeful that with the Supreme Court hearing against California’s Prop 8, despite some of the archaic beliefs of some of the justices, we see some historic progressive steps in the right direction. Its really quite an amazing time.

    And as usual, I am so much better at expressing myself through images rather than words. So please allow these photographs that I’ve taken over the years speak volumes about the love that I see between these wonderful people who have allowed me to witness their connection and the spirit of their relationships…

    Thank you to these wonderful people, and to each and every person who has chosen and entrusted me with the honor of documenting your lives. This work means so much to me.

    If you would like to book a session with me, I would be so tickled to hear form you! Just shoot me a message over on the SAY HELLO page. I’ll be looking forward to it! xoxo

    Such a joy looking at these images. Love is love, and nothing should hinder two persons who are in love to be together. Love this series so much.
