  • Celebrating the Relationships in your life -we tell the story of you and those you love in beautiful family portraits.

    Some People Come Into Our Lives, Leave Footprints On Our Hearts and We're Never The Same.

    And it's these people that we celebrate in our lives, for even when they're not with us, they've had an indelible impact on who and what we are. These are the relationships that make our lives complete; that give it meaning, and a sense of purpose.

    It's one of life's realities that those we love will not always be close at hand. Time, distance and the natural flow of life inevitably will separate us from those we love, sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently.

    This site is dedicated to celebrating these relationships with beautiful, story-telling portraits; family portraits, couples portraits, Engagement Photo, Wedding Photography, Maternity Photography, Newborn Photography, Generations portraits, Brothers and Sisters, Grandparent and Grandchildren, even portraits with your four-legged best friends, - the specific combination doesn't matter. What does matter is that you want to keep these people close, regardless of what the future brings.

    No matter how time, distance and mortality separate us from those special people in our lives, we can help you keep them forever close, displayed prominently in your home where you can feel their closeness every day.

    Who do YOU love? And how can we help keep the times and the people in your life close? We invite you to explore the possibilities on this site, and then come chat with us about how we can capture those which are closest to your heart forever.

If you’re going to any of the concerts at this years Oregon State Fair, watch for me. I’ll be wandering around, and right down in front of the stage with a couple of cameras around my neck.

A Sad yet poignant moment between a dog and his master.

I wanted to share it, for two reasons. First in gratitude to this young man, and indeed all those who serve us in the armed forces, and second because it so illustrates the love that exists between human and dog. I know my dog loves me no matter what. If I’m having a bad day, he’s always there with sloppy kisses. If I”m having a great day, he’s there to share my energy.

I came across this video this afternoon, and wanted to share it.  It’s supposedly based on a true story. When all is said and done, it’s the people in our lives that make life worth living, and that’s what we celebrate on this website and in our studio.

Posted by a friend on Facebook this evening, and I loved it.  It’s so very true.

Happy Birthday, Dad

August 17th was my dad’s birthday.

Happy birthday dad.

If you were still with us, you’d be 98 this year.

Unfortunately, you left us far too early.  You were only 70.  That’s only 10 years older than I am this year.

You missed watching your grandchildren grow up.  You’d love them dad.  They grew up and became such wonderful women.

Chelsie was only a year old when you died.  She doesn’t really remember you, of course,  but  she hung your picture in her bedroom all of her growing up years.  For some reason, she insisted that you be there with her.

Dad, you always loved photography, and that’s where I got my interest.  Remember, we took some classes together during the time you were struggling with cancer?  Those are cherished memories for me, working beside you in the darkroom, watching the magic of images pop up on the paper.

You never got to see me turn that into a career.  I wish you had.  That would have meant a lot to me.

Dad, you taught me the value of hard work.  You worked two jobs much of my growing up years just to support our family.  We were never particularly well off materially, but we sure were rich in the things that really mattered.

You taught me the importance of kindness and doing things for others, without a thought for the impact on you.   At one time or another, you took in three of my cousins, and took care of them for an extended period of time.  One, we even turned into my brother, for which I’m eternally grateful because had you not adopted him, I’d have been an only child.

You’d be very proud of him, dad.  He’s so much like you in so many ways.  You and mom did will with both of us.

You dealt with your illness with such grace, and you never once complained about it.  It even brought you and mom closer together.  I’ll never forget that time in your life. It was a time we could all pay back just a little all the care you took of us.    Even being sick, you still got great joy from your grandchildren, and from life in general.

Dad, there isn’t a day goes by I don’t think of you.  You left a wonderful mark on the world, and your footprints on the hearts of many different people.

Happy Birthday Dad.  And though I don’t remember saying it much when you were alive – I love you.
