Packwood,WA SCCA Oregon Region

I am in Packwood, WA to photograph the SCCA Oregon Region Race. My sister and brother-in-law provided me the opportunity to build my portfolio.

I went out this evening to the track, which is located at an old Lumber Mill in the small town of Packwood, WA. I took a ton of test shots and was able to get a few shots of Dennis testing the track for safety.

Below are a few of the shots I captured and was able to process before I went to bed for the evening. I must be up bright and early to walk the track, scout locations for action shots and capture drivers getting ready for their "run".

Enjoy and I will provide more shots from this weekends race on Sunday.

Happy RACING

A Warm Summer's Night

So, it is the beginning of Summer Break and the house of full of pitter patter and the boys arguing back and forth, they sure didn't wait long to start that. Now that summer is here and the days are longer there is more free time in the evenings. Tonight we went up to the Astoria Column, it has been closed for a year and a half because the stairs we deteriorating. They are in the process of replacing the the stairs~these take you to the top of the world. We went to see the crane in action, but they were done for the night so the kids took the opportunity to run around and burn off some energy.

Below are a few images I took of our evening up at the Column. Check back for more, the evening went quick and I ran out of time, but what else is new?!?!? :-)

Check out the new photos I added below...old covered bridge

I added a few more photos to my "oldest covered bridge" post. Make sure to check out the photos at the bottom of the post. I was able to capture Drayke and Colin jumping off a stone bench underneath these beautiful trees, surrounded by a massive field of tall grass.

Check back for more photos from this session.

As Dave's "leave" (vacation to the Civilian world) comes to an end, I am happy to say we managed to get everything done on our "to do" list.

I now sit, relax, spend time with the boys and enjoy calmness inside a beautiful redecorated home.

Oh yeah, tomorrow is the last day of school...Bring on Summer Vacation!!!

My New Look..

I have been debating for ages on how I would "brand" myself. After a long week of cleaning and organizing my home. Painting walls with beautiful Ralph Lauren paint, Haystack and ++++ paint, it all came to me~black and mocha~beautiful, classic, simple and sleek.

I will share pictures of my beautiful new living space that inspired my new Logo as soon as I get pictures taken...tomorrow!!

There are two I like, the difference is the font on "photography". Which one do you like???

The Old Covered Bridge

Today the family and I went to visit the Oldest COVERED Bridge in Washington. Located in Grays River, WA 30 minutes from Astoria, it made for the perfect Photo Session with the Family. Practice makes perfect and this location and weather was really a challenge. When we were done, I was happy with the composition, personality and raw emotion I captured from my beautiful children.

I have to thank my wonderful friends Jess and Nick for sharing this beautiful location. Jess's husband understands her passion for photography and found this location while he was working. Lots of thanks Nick :-)!!!

Paulson Family Session SNEAK PEAK!!!!

**I have updated my Blog with new photos.**

WOW, I had super fun doing this photo session. I tried new locations, fought with the sun (who would have thought I could complain about too much sun in the PNW) and over all achieved some gorgeous photos. My Brother in Law was a trooper, Abigail hung in as long as she could and Danielle was game for anything.

The carriage used in the photos was a rare find during my Yard Saleing last Friday, I paid $20.00 for the adorable carriage and it created an amazing photo.

I was inspired today to process more of my adorable Nieces photos. Here

are 2 more of my favorite shots from her session a few weeks ago.

I received a phone call from my sister who told me I needed to find a website to

host Galleries from my photo sessions. Her In-Laws are dying to purchase, not only

photos of their beautiful granddaughter, great granddaughter and niece but my work. These

photos I took, cared for and added my stamp too. I knew this would happen eventually but

not this soon. It may be a little bias considering they are family, but family none the less who

think my images are worthy enough for purchase and to hang in their homes.

Summer Smiles :-)

More Practice Shots

My Niece Abigail visited a few weeks ago and I took the opportunity to take a few shots not only for practice but to add to my Business Portfolio. I processed a few shots and shared them with my sister who then shared them with everyone she knows. I began to get phone calls and e-mails from my greatest fans and supporters expressing how amazing the photo was. So for those so super excited about the first photo here are a few more to wet those taste buds and as always thanks for your support.

BTW~this adorable hat I bought at our local Sunday Market. My sister got nothing but compliments about the hat that caused a traffic jam in the market.:-) Of course I never have enough things to do already so I decide to learn to knit. One day when I finish the one I started (since it seems to be taking forever to finish) Abby will be the first to model it.

Memorial Day 2009

I am so bad I have not been around in awhile. As usual mommy duty takes me away from my hobbies,

business building and the love of sharing my photography.

Memorial Day is not only a time to honor those who have served or are serving our country but also a

time to remember our friends who make our lives what they are. I am so lucky and honored to be part of a wonderful

group of friends who all happen to live at the end of the same block. We got together to celebrate new friends, old

friends and current friends~CHEERS!!! to those who make my life so wonderful and full of happiness.

I'm getting the job done

I have managed to get my Blog somewhat redone and cleaned up. This process went much faster then I thought, might be a bad thing :-)lol. I still have to redo my header which is the bar at the top of my Blog with my name and the fancy Damask black and white background. I am thinking of changing that up a little as well, I'll have to see what I come up with.

Because I worked so hard on redoing my Blog and "getting "er done", I will share a few photos of my Niece Abigail, Nephew Connor and my mom's dearest and bestest friend Charlene. Charlene lives in Texas with her love, she visits often and is a true gem to have as a friend~love ya girl!

Enjoy and thanks for your patience~
