Catherine first contacted me about capturing her two little ones while she was planning a trip to Oregon this summer. She was coming down from Alaska and would be visiting Salem. We chatted back and fourth on options and eventually expanded the session to not just capture her little ones but the entire family extended family! I am not usually one for huge family groups but thees folks were fun. Traveling in from Alaska, Chicago and eastern Oregon you could tell everyone was happy to be in the same place. The little cousins played in the beautiful garden while grandma served some of the best lemonade I have ever sipped. It was a great afternoon.
Here are some of my favorites so far:
Catherine thanks again for having me out to Salem to spend time with your family. Your whole crew was lots of fun! If course as new clients I would love to throw down a blog comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in a set of darling little wallet brag books on the house. They work well for showing off cute grand-kids, just so you know. 
So leave some love people! I know you want to.
