Jamaica!

I realize there has been a serious lack of posts on here, and for that I apologize. I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I manage a camera store as my ‘day job’ and just when things slow down photography-wise in the winter, things pick up hard core at the store. So after an incredibly hectic holiday season, Andrew and I (along with my immediate family) took a much needed vacation to Negril, Jamaica. It was nice to completely disconnect from everything. My cell phone stayed off for a week and a half and I even left my lap top at home ( I know, can you believe it?!). There was no way I was leaving my camera at home though, so while I didn’t use it every day, I did manage to get some fun photos of super cute kids that I thought I’d share with you.

This is one of my favorite photos of the entire trip- Beautiful Alena! I love the word ‘Negril’ in the background.

These were the rocks at the place we were staying, we spent hours jumping off them and swimming in the little cove.

Andrew and I spent a lot of time eating and hanging out at little road side stands, so these next few beautiful girls that you see are friends that we made while eating at their parents stands.








My Family:

Sooo…. Anyone want to get married in Jamaica? You wouldn’t have to twist my leg too hard to convince me to come along and take destination wedding photos!

The Dukes

I’m going to go ahead and warn you up front that this is going to be a long post.
I tried to narrow it down to fewer pictures, but I just couldn’t.
This family is so dang cute, I wanted to post every last one of the photos!
Mitch, Katie and Gibson braved the cold chill of November and met me to do some fun family shots at a local park.
The combination of leaves on the ground and the leaves still in the trees make for some very fun and vibrant photos.






If you look closely at the photo on the left above, you’ll notice that Gibson is full projectile sneezing in Mitch’s face. Cracks me up every time!











If you hung with me for all those pictures, nice work!

Thanks for a great shoot Mitch and Katie, I had a blast hanging out with you guys!

Woops, Almost forgot this one, which would have been devastating because Gibson’s face is a winner =)

Cory and Bethany

Cory and Bethany had a beautiful, small wedding with their families on the banks of the Alsea river last week. Bethany’s family owns a quaint little cabin near the town of Alsea and the couple tied the knot in the yard that they had landscaped just for the event. The cabin was a perfect place for a wedding, very peaceful and calm with the sound of the creek rippling quietly in the background.
