  • Family Shoot on the Farm — Salem Oregon Child and Family Photographer

    I squeezed in one more photo shoot a few cold weekends ago to capture my friend Karen and her twin 18 month old girls.

    It was so so cold, and the ground was very wet.

    But we lucked out and had clear skies.

    This is Karen’s husband; it’s his family’s farm.

    You can see this is after Kourtney took a tumbler, but she recovered with a little love and some binkie time.

    Such sweet things. I’m so glad we were able to fit this shoot in before the snow!

  • So Thankful

    So thankful for so much…
    Thankful-1
    For friends who are crafty and thoughtful.

    Sciarrino made tutu this Pilgrim hat and she toddled around with it a good part of the day.
    Thankful-4
    Even while checking out the sales fliers!

    My wonderful husband. He cooked the appetizers… I did zero cooking, yay!
    Thankful-5
    A beautiful table set by my mom (with her wonderful cranberry sauce). There was no kids table. This was the grown-up table, so I guess that makes the other table the old person table, ha!

    mmm bacon. Taro said that he can’t get bacon like ours in Japan, their version doesn’t have as much fat. I don’t think I will ever be living long term in Japan 🙂
    Thankful-7
    All my friends and family. I am such a lucky girl, and I do know it. I hope you and yours had a fabulous day as well and are going to bed with full tummies and warm hearts.

  • Snow!

    Out of town (well country actually) guests plus winter weather plus a holiday equals sporadic postings. Like this one, via my phone. I won’t be back to regular postings until mid December, but I will pop in here and there. Enjoy this late fall. Peace,
    Amber

    Snow!
