Ashley & Ryan Porter Wedding 9/11/2010 { Part 1 }

I’m looking through these wedding photos trying to think of where to begin. How can I sit here and express everything I felt on my wedding day, the work leading up to it, and how blessed I feel now looking back? Maybe I should start by saying I’m a bad girl, that’s it’s been over…

My Saturday {Salem, OR Photographer}

I’m convinced I’d take more personal photos if I owned the Epiphanie bag. How would I not use this as my everyday purse and include my camera everywhere I go? It’s gorgeous, functional and the only occasion where I have wanted a purse with a higher than $30 price tag. BUT in my defense this…
