Every year, around Thanksgiving, Solutions and Resolutions bikers gather at Destiny Christian Fellowship to donate blankets to those in need. The congregation prays over these amazing people and the blankets they bring, blessing those that they will soon be connected with. The blankets are collected by The Father's Heart Street Ministry, a family run group that has been dear to my heart for many years.
Thank you to everyone who participated yesterday. It was so wonderful to see such a beautiful act of giving as we enter into the holiday season. Here are some pictures I took of the event. Have a great week!

Happy Thanksgiving week!
As a photographer, I enjoy taking pictures. Another thing I enjoy greatly is baking, this week's post is to inspire you with a fun and easy holiday treat.
My friend Makenna and I gave simple snickerdoodles a twist by adding pumpkin spice from the bulk foods section of our local grocery store. We went the easy route with a box mix, but this can easily be done with your own scratch rescipe. The next time I make these, pumpkin from a can will be added for extra flavorful and moist cookies. I documented the entire doughy endeavor, so here are some cookie pictures to get you in the baking mood!

Is it Tuesday already?
The holidays are coming and keeping me busy! I welcome them with much excitement for all the fun excuses for portraits, like Christmas cards, presents and such. I did get to take a nice walk with my husband the other day, or rather I said, "The fog looks so cool! come with me!"
I'm so lucky he humors and allows my constant documentation of our adventures.
​Here are some photos of our walk up Powell Butte in some lovely fog that melted into rain.

Our star this week is my husband's adorible pup, Moxie!
Part lab, part pit, part pure joy.
Peter got Moxie when she was just a tiny, pot bellied, baby that could fit in your hand. Though she has grown immensely, she has always remained his goofy little baby.
Here are some puppy portraits I took during an afternoon game of fetch. I threw in a couple of my husband of course!
​Enjoy!

Puppy portraits can be included in family sessions.
​Contact me for pricing and booking portraits of your furry babies!

It's friday! You made it!
Part 2 of this week has a little more content. Grace and I had fun wandering around Main City Park, finding warm colored backdrops, and playing with the pretty leaves. Enjoy these brilliant fall colors and have a lovely weekend!
