{ Heather & Ben } Engagement

I was so excited to finally take Heather and Ben's engagement photos! They are such a nice couple and Ben is so sweet to Heather. The air was cold and our hands were freezing, but we survived it all and the rain had stopped just for us! Heather and Ben are set to marry in April! What an exciting chapter in their life! :)

A very special day!

A beautiful day in the Columbia River Gorge. I was on the hunt for waterfalls and it was the perfect weather! But I was blown away when I turned around and shortly after saw Ben on one knee with a very pretty ring! Don't worry ... I said YES! ;)

 

He was a very happy camper after I said yes! :)

We have shared so many memories here in the Gorge. First hike, first kiss, our first few adventures together - Ben couldn't have picked a more special place to propose! I am a very blessed girl!

Mother & Son {Kelly & Brennen}

Rain, rain and more rain! Will it ever go away? My guess is no. So we'll learn to work in it! Kelly and Brennen were such troopers and enjoyed this as much as I did. I swear Kelly could pass for a model and her son is so sweet and patient. They both have such kind hearts. I can't wait to take more photo's for them in the future!

~ Enjoy!

Just a few ....

Here are just a few favorites I wanted to share with you! Enjoy! :)

North Head Lighthouse - Long Beach, WA

Santa Catalina Island, California

My very first trip to Catalina Island! How can I describe it? Small, quiet, pleasant and peaceful. We took the Catalina Express from Long Beach, CA to the island. I remember being in the ocean and not seeing any land around us. That was a first for me and it was very exciting!


When we got to the island we were very impressed at how small it actually was. Everything was walking distance. The islanders didn't own vehicles - everyone drove golf carts or walked to their destinations. There weren't street lights or stop lights. And much to our surprise, there was only one grocery store! It was probably the smallest vons I have ever been to. Every place we ate had outside eating and most restaurants didn't have windows. We never heard a cuss word or fowl language from anyone our entire time there. The people were friendly and had a lot to share with us. We learned that once a week a large boat comes in with food and merchandise for the islanders. There is one school and one hospital.

If you're ever looking for a peaceful, quiet and cheap place to get away then I recommend Catalina Island. And when I say cheap, I mean it is very affordable for those on a tight vacation budget. Taking the boat from Long Beach, CA to Catalina Island is only a little over $60 a person round trip. Find a motel room and expect to pay for food and souvenirs, then kick back and take it easy. You won't find a lot of high priced activities and restaurants tempting you to spend your money.
