    Jessica’s photography business is definitely taking us to new places, and giving us unforgettable experiences. After a week of sick kiddos, sick selves and little sleep, we found ourselves stuck on a mountain road, our route impeded by a drift of snow, 2.5 miles from the trailhead. Fortunately, Jessica likes to arrive early and we…

    In October, I was craving a family day at a local apple orchard. We ended up going to Kiyokawa Family Orchards. Being near Hood River Valley, there are so many orchards to choose from. Depending on what time of year, there is almost always something for you to go do at a local farm. Let’s…

    I recently made the switch at work to a 4-10 schedule which means I now wake up (too) early, but I get Monday’s off. A while back, we had one of our favorite families over for a couple days and I decided to make the most of the early morning on my day off. I…

    Elijah loves when I start baking something. He always wants to be a part of whatever I am mixing into a bowl. I made sure that grab a chair and include him. I can’t wait till he can do even more!

    As I sit down to write this little recap of the year’s events, I can’t help but feel thankful. A lot has happened this year, if keeping up with Elijah constantly growing and changing wasn’t enough, I started looking for a new job closer to my family (and Jess’s parents) in the Pacific Northwest. Let’s…

    Running down along the Riverfront Trail in The Dalles, Oregon, a distant dream came back to mind when I saw the National Geographic Ship Sea Bird at The Dalles Port. Ah, to be on board that ship and to have a photo published in the magazine. That was the dream. The dream started back in…

    I recently was “transferred” for my job. I am still based out of Bozeman, but am now part of the Information Systems team for the parent company, Woodard & Curran. As you might recall, I traveled to Portland, ME in the Fall of 2014, this was to visit the very same company. One of my…

    We have had the privilege of knowing this couple for a couple years now, and even had one of them as a roommate for a time. The wedding was performed in Corvallis, MT on a perfect summer day. Almost too perfect. As a photographer, you would like to have a few clouds in the sky,…

    As is my now tradition for Marathons, I try to see Jess along the course and take some pictures of her running. This time, I actually got some decent shots.

    The nice thing about operating a blog, is that you really don’t have to write a long essay on the adventures of the last year, you’ve already done that. However, people don’t always read all the posts, and may have missed out on a few things. So here is the year in summary.   The…
