Some of you might recognize the cutie pie blonde baby in these photos as Isaiah from his 6 month session! Well… He’s already a year old and such a big boy:) They grow up sooo fast, he was walking all over the place! I met up recently with the lovely Kehau, her amazing husband Dean and their great family at the beautiful Laurelhurst Park. When I originally photographed Isaiah, we focused mainly on him (how can you not!) This time around however it was a super fun-filled day with Mom, Dad, Grandma and Cousin! Kehau is originally from Hawaii, so her mom and niece flew in for the b-day party and we were all able to get together for the nature-inspired family photos! Hope you love the sneak peek and your comments are always encouraged!

Kathy and Johhny’s remarkable wedding took place on July 25th all over Portland! The traditional tea ceremony was filled with great emotion and bright colors and the asking of permission to receive the bride was an amazing experience to document. Kathy had three beautiful outfits, and yes she had three fun pairs of shoes to go with them. (Yeah- I love shoes!!!) Her first dress is called Áo dài and it’s worn during the tea ceremony and for part of the reception. She also wore a stunning classic gown, and a rocking Betsey Johnson cocktail dress for the dancing. The ceremony took place at the SE Asian Vicariate church, which was very cool and sweet. We all went to Laurelhurst park immedialty following for some fun wedding party and couples pics, and then onto dinner. The food at Legin was yummy and so was the decor! The colors were green and white, which they weaved throughout the room with white orchids and green linens. The music was really fun and so was the crowd! Everyone was lauging and smiling and having a great time grooving to the beat. I’m so honored that Kathy and Johnny choose me to document their first steps together as husband and wife! May you both have many lifetimes of happiness and health. Enjoy the sneak peek and please comment to let us know what you think!

Amber & Kody are getting married in August at the beautiful Shakespeare Gardens in the International Rose Garden, with a lunch wedding reception at the amazing Portland City Grill. We recently met in SE Portland at Laurelhurst Park with their awesome dogs! (Yes, that’s pretty much the cutest puppy you’ve ever seen!) I love photographing
at Laurelhurst because it’s a huge, inspiring nature park in he middle of the
bustling city. I am super excited and honored to photograph Amber and Kody’s wedding on August 3rd. Stay tuned for their wedding post
coming soon. Hope you love the sneak peak!

Ali and Jared are tying on the knot at the beautiful Garden Vineyards on Aug. 7th, 2009 and I’m honored that I’m the chosen photographer! We had a great time in Laurelhurst Park, located in SE Portland. The light was magical and the flowers were in bloom 🙂 there happened to be chalk on the sidewalk, and we took care of the thank you cards well in advance. (check that off the list!) I also was working with the newest addition to the Jessica Hill Photography team, Leah Verwey! She’s a very talented photographer and a very sweet person! We’re happy to have her on board and looking forward to taking the 09 Summer by storm! Jared and Ali, you’re great fun and I hope you love the post! Looking forward to designing your Guest Book!
