{ My Sweet Baby Boy }

I met up with my friend Carole at an amazing location last monday.  Wyatt tagged along, which I usually expect to be a nightmare for me (He likes to run away, and hes gotten faster with age, I however have become slower).  Carole was amazing as always and helped me out so much with him!  This place...

Your photos are GORGEOUS! You are an inspiration, especially as a mother of a 10 month old baby boy. I love your motto “if it isn’t gonna kill him”…I have a feeling I will have to remember it in the future! LOL

{ In The Clouds }

So this photo should answer the question of what I will do to get a shot.  I was driving to portland yesterday down a winding Mtn Road and looked to my right as I rounded a sharp curve and saw this.  It is one of those moments that just take your breath away.  The morning...

{ Sleepy Boy }

Ahh one of my favorite times of day!  If only he was this peaceful when he woke up.  He may look like his daddy while sleeping, but I’m afraid He inherited his Uncle Stephen’s “waking up grumpiness”.  Still, I’ll take whatever I can get!  I was shocked He even took a nap today.  There is...

{ Starbucks }

So I was thinking this evening, while waiting at the Starbucks drivethrough, that I do believe Starbucks should be tax deductable!  I wholeheartedly believe that it belongs right up there with mileage expenses.  Yes, I am a sad sad woman, who relies in caffeine, I admit it.  I managed to quit the diet coke and move right...

Andrea - November 4, 2008 - 3:02 am

Hello Tara!
You know me from Coastie Chicks as GarenandAndrea. I just wanted to comment on what you already know, you take beautiful pictures! I only mildly touched into photography in high school. I found while I love looking at how beautiful pictures can turn out, I don’t have a natural knack for it. Anyways, love your site, love your pics, and look forward to future posts!

Andrea

Penny - November 3, 2008 - 11:04 pm
