singing sparrow

We spent some time with Nicole, owner of Singing Sparrow Flowers, and her BFF Heather last week.  Our goal was to have some fun downtown with some of Nicole's amazing bouquet creations...Mission accomplished.   Here are a few of our favs...

                           

a little r & r...

I'm looking forward to posting their VEsession video, but for now, here are a few of my favorites from our time spent with Reed and Rickey. 

     

mr. pratt...

Aaron is a Godsend and has been a huge help with our media NPO, Emote360.  He stopped by last week for a quick sesh, this is my favorite...

wallowa lake...

We were blessed to have a long weekend en route to an Idaho appt. that lead us straight (with some winding roads) to Joseph, Oregon.  Joseph was the site of one of Lauren's most memorable family vacations growing up, so we thought we'd make some new memories.  It's a breathtaking place and one of the few places other than Bend we feel we could live...

Here's a pano from the top of a large hill I hiked... (click to see full version)

Jennifer and Scott...

I love Five Pine.  I love Sisters and I love our new friends Jennifer and Scott. From the moment I met them two things jumped out, they were one of the sweetest couples I've met and he totally adores her.  Well, she adores him to, I guess that's three things...

Rachelle...

Rachelle and I went to high school together.  She's an incredible actress and needed some new headshots, so, on a very sleepy morning for the both of us we rocked them.

Matea...

Yet another Summit High School rockstar...

Michelle & Colton

A warm Central Oregon farmhouse, complete with old doggy, fresh cut hay and a trampoline, what more could you want?  Oh yeah, A couple in love...

Friends, those who we draw inspiration from, and companies that exemplify great business practice.  Kevin, Clare, Wendy, Jed and Vicki, Bill, Craig and the very lovable Doug--thank you for your support of Emote360 and your encouragement to keep going. 

As a special thank you and surprise, these companies (and the dear friends behind them) took out a full page ad in this months PDN magazine, thanking Emote360 for its work.  What a blessing.  Thank YOU!

Photographers, if you aren't aware of these companies, you need to be!  If you are, thanks for supporting them.
Blessings,

PDN magazine...

PDN, thank you for your support of Emote360 and for highlighting those who choose to give back to their communities by sharing their gifts and talents.

Stacey...

Stacey is a senior at Summit High School.  Stacey, and her sweet Mom, are complete rockstars.
We enjoyed our time with them both and wanted to share a few of our favorite things.

fall fashion09...

We were blessed to shoot the Source Weekly's Fall Fashion 09.  Megan and I had a blast with Elise and Nicole, here are some of my favs...

faith, hope, & charity...

Brides, if you are still looking for a venue for your 09/10 wedding, please take a look at the Faith, Hope, and Charity Vineyard and Events Center...
Cindy and the crew have worked very hard to build and landscape a beautiful backdrop for your wedding. 
The house, which will soon be a wine tasting room for the new vineyard, is absolutely stunning inside with warm wood tones, pocket beds and even a bed that hangs from the ceiling...  Give them a call!

Here's a few images of the property...

ted and kali...

We had a great time with Ted, Kali, friends and family at the beautiful Faith, Hope and Charity Events Center.  Here are a few of our favorite things...

the layton's...

Blake and Kim are simply wonderful.  Laid back, trusting, and completely in love. 
We trekked over to the valley to spend some time with them and their family and friends.  They rock it with a capital L for love...

The good Lord blessed them with a little something extra in the sky...

Check us out on the news...

Our media NPO, emote360, was featured on KOHD news with WRNEXT, check it here.

jon and aria...

Perfect.  Everything.  Perfect weather, decor, location and of course, the bride and groom.
Blessings to Jon and Aria...

Can't forget an ode to American Gothic...

love was in the air...

..and smoke.  I always feel bad when the forest is on fire, however, trying to look at things in a more positive light, it did give us some great light for our Esession last night with Kacharel and Travis.  We had a blast tromping through fields and playing in the pipes, with permission of course.  Lauren got some stellar images, as usual.
Here are some of our favorites...

chad & taneal...

Chad is a hero.  Hero meets beautiful girl, gets engaged.  Hero and beautiful girl hang with photographer and end up in wheat field.  (that's the short version.)
