Lassen National Park

Our last national park stop in California was Lassen National Park. We didn't get to visit some parts due to snow closure, but it looks like a nice volcano.

Dreamers

In late October I took photos of a lovely group of kindergarten kids. Each dressed as what they wanted to be when they grew up.

Sequoia National Park

We had the amazing tree moments, which you would expect, but I was really impressed with the great views from the top of Moro rock.

Riley and Mary

This lovely wedding was held at the University of Washington Botanical gardens in August. I somehow forgot to blog it earlier, but I think the wedding was unforgettable!

Portland Japanese Garden

We stopped by the Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden a few times this summer. Spectacular weather this time!

Family Photos

A hansom family I haven't seen in a long time.

The President

Happy election to all. I thought it was timely to share a photo I took of President Obama at a speech this summer. Don't forget to vote!

Olympic Peninsula Wedding

These are a few highlights from Kyle and Kristen's amazing wedding on the edge of Olympic National Park. The party was as unique and fun as these two people!

This one looks like a fairy tale. 

Baby Boy, coming soon! (Arrived!)

This cute couple is about to become three! And because I took to long to blog this he has already arrived! Congrats to the Jones family!

King Canyon National Park

A few from King's Canyon National Park, California. I think these captured the scenes a bit better than once we arrived at the valley floor.

Hetch Hetchy

We took the time to visit Hetch Hetchy, a beautiful section of Yosemite National Park. Well worth the side trip.

Yosemite National Park

A few days in Yosemite National Park, it was crowded even in May but well worth the visit.

The Golden Gate

What else do you photograph if you have only one day in San Francisco? Well ....

San Francisco + trolley rides!

We were tight on time but we rode the trolley from the warf up to the heart of the city. 

Astoria in Spring

We had a short weekend trip to Astoria, great view of a large cargo ship. We also went to the North Head Lighthouse, always a favorite.

Alcatraz Island

On our lightning tour of San Francisco we did take the ferry to Alcatraz. It was every bit as dark as I remembered (third grade maybe?) but more photogenic than I thought!

Cher and Ian

In May I photographed this amazing wedding in California. My good friends put on a spectacular party and the weather was perfect.

Columbia River Gorge

Two of my favorite falls in the Columbia river gorge and Crown Point. Beautiful as always.
