Happy Cookie Friday:  Macrina Bakery

This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Macrina Bakery on Queen Anne.  The very first thing that I liked about Macrina is that their hours are 7-7.  I understand that baked goods need to be prepared and baked to be sold fresh daily, but throw a working girl a bone here.  7:00 [...]

Vida and Austin at the Edgefield

On a recent sunny day, we rendezvoused with Vida and Austin at The Edgefield in Gresham to shoot engagement session photos.

Vida and Austin had packed several changes of clothing [...]

Kaeley and Matt at Union Station

One of the largest events in the Northwest, the parade has boasted crowd sizes up to 350,000 people. This year’s parade surely topped that [...]

We had visitors recently and decided to pack everyone up  and take a day trip to the San Juan Islands. While there we took a taxi tour and ended up at the largest Lavender field in the area. I caught this elusive beauty trying to hide among the flora.
