Through The Looking Glass

Finn

It's a pretty magical thing watching a long time friend evolve in the blink of an eye from kickass athlete and driven career woman, to Super Mom...and to do it with such immense grace and tenderness.

Finn, some day you'll know what a complete and life changing gift you are. 

Malia + Tim

Love cares not what mother nature is dishing out. Five years to the day they made their feelings officially known to one another, under cover of what you come to expect from the weather gods this time of year in Oregon, Malia + Tim said their I-Do's in the intimate and rustic beauty of the Octagon Barn at McMenamin's Cornelius Pass Roadhouse.

'With love and patience, nothing is impossible.' -Daisaku Ikeda

With the right mix of patience, timing and love, Malia and Tim made the seemingly impossible become possible.  What an honor it was to be a witness. 

*keeping with tradition, Tim couldn't see his bride before the ceremony, but they shared a sweet moment with their officiant beforehand.

Boy Oh Boy

Boys of a certain age are typically *not big fans of spending an hour or two on a Saturday afternoon having their photos taken. Or really any other day of the week for that matter.  But if you're fast enough, you can catch really amazing-but-fleeting quiet moments between the wrestling, chasing, and rock kicking that shows they are so much more than that stereotype.

As an aside, I thought it fitting that my first blog post of this newly minted site include not only my first family photoshoot of 2016, but also of a family who has seen this business grow from day one, and subsequently, whose boys I've known since day one.  Thank you so very much Bayne family for being a part of this journey.
