When I need to take some stock images, I really don’t have to go far to find great models! I’m so blessed to be part of such a great family. These ladies are superb. Jacqi recently graduated from Trinity Western University which is my alma mater as well. We will be getting married in the Portland area on June 10th. If you’re interested, you can read our engagement story here. Emma is now one and a half and has the largest vocabulary of any baby I know! She is constantly surprising us with the things she says and how fast she learns new words and patterns.

Living in the Pacific Northwest it’s no surprise that I (somewhat regularly) have to reschedule photoshoots with clients due to weather. Today was no different. Here’s the view from my office downtown. I can’t complain because I love snow. I took a nice stroll around the block in our temporary winter wonderland. Usually the snow only lasts a few days at most so I like to enjoy it while we’ve got it!
