Ryan Vandordrecht

My mom is in town from Florida for one week only, and this past Friday night, she flew in town just in time for us to drive to see my husband playing with Ryan Vandordrecht on stage at the Doug Fir Lounge! They are currently in production of their first full CD, so keep a lookout for it this Fall! Their set was so great, I couldn't help snapping a few photos for my blog! Here are a few shots from their show:

This Is It....or is it?

Last night Joe and I went to see Michael Jackson....erm....I mean....Kenny Wizz's tribute tour of Michael Jackson History II. Suffice it to say we were BLOWN away. We heard that Kenny was good, but we had no idea how real he made it seem!! It was like Michael Jackson reincarnated! He was incredible! He sings, he dances, he has the iconic outfits, he does all of MJ's moves TO-THE-TEE, and even looks like him up close too! By the second song I was starting to think MJ hadn't died, he just changed his name! Sitting in our seats (and getting up to dance too!), it was like MJ was truly back to life. It's a definite must-see if the tour comes to your city!  Unfortunately, the theatre didn't allow me to bring my professional camera, but I couldn't help snapping a few images with my phone! You can barely see his face, but my goodness! It was like MJ had never left the stage!

Kirstie & The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm

Kirstie is a good friend of mine and one awesome photographer as well! (Go check out her beautiful photos at kirstiemarie.com!). Neither of us had been to a tulip field before, so when we heard that the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm was open for visiting, we couldn't wait to check it out and take photos inside the flower fields! What a variety of different colors! I don't think I've ever seen so many flowers all together before! Truly incredible. Although, as you may have noticed....we did tend to gravitate towards one particular color, haha! Enjoy!

Oregon Coast

Several weeks ago, we had some friends in town from Florida so we decided to take a road trip to the beach to show them our beautiful coastline. Joe and I just LOVE the Oregon coast, and will do anything for an excuse to visit there! But this time was special. My friends visiting are photographers too, so not only was it a fun trip to the beach, but it quickly became a photo adventure as well!

And here is a sneek peek of something new to come! Joe shot this image of me photographing an impromptu couple's session on the beach of our friends! Keep a lookout for more photos of them on the blog soon!  Trust me, you're going to love them!
