Firefighter Love

Posted on February 11, 2011 by Kathy

I was honored enough to visit my hometown and take shots of the new Fire & Life Safety Division Chief. He just also happened to be a friend from high school’s wife….and the son of a good friend of my mom’s.

A night full of Star Wars and Star Trek jokes – “These are not the droids you are looking for”

Before getting down to business.

Almost as proud as a papa.

Three of the four boys (yes, they have four beautiful boys!) helped pin his new bars on. They were SO proud.

After all that hard work, they definitely deserved some cake!

And one last big grin. The proud new Division Chief. Congratulations, Dave! It was so great to see you all!

Wuv, Twu Wuv :: Forest Grove, Oregon Engagement Photographer

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Kathy

This couple was so much fun to shoot. It helps that they are my cousin and her fiance, but that only contributed to my knowing them, not the joy from this day.

We had SO much fun! I wish I could shoot them every day!

Her dad is a retired firefighter, which means we had to play at the fire department! They were up for anything!

And one last one, my favorite from the whole day:

Thank you, Megan and Ethan for being such amazing models and being so much in love! I cannot wait to meet with you on Sunday to show you the rest!

Holbrook Masonic Lodge Installation ~ Forest Grove, Oregon Event Photographer

Posted on December 20, 2010 by Kathy

Saturday morning I woke up to snow and was worried that we would be snowed in for my first Masonic Lodge Installation where I was not a visitor. I would be working. I was excited. Even with everything that was going on with Ryan, I was looking forward to this. Especially since this would be the first shoot with my new camera where I was comfortable enough to shoot it on Manual Mode.

It helped that I knew most everyone at the event, the Masonic Family is tight. Most of these men have known me for years, if not decades. I felt right at home and was ready to do what I loved.

So thank you, Mr. Hinton, for trusting in me to capture your big day. It was a pleasure and an honor! I hope you are happy with what you see, and I cannot wait to show you the rest!
