Last Trip of 2009 - Sunset Bay

Christmas Day we loaded up the van and took our last road trip in 2009. We were a little leery about our outing because the weather was not looking very promising - not unusual for December in Oregon! However, in the end, we decided a mini-vacation was much needed and set out for the Oregon Coast. It has often been said that if you don’t like the weather in Oregon, just wait a minute! How true those words became. In our four days at Sunset Bay and the surrounding area we only had one afternoon of light rain. The rest of the time was simply amazing. We were able to hike, whale watch, visit the incredible light display at Shore Acres, ride bikes, play in the sand, and of course, eat s’mores! It truly was an epic trip! Here are just a handful of photographs to show just how breathtaking the Oregon Coast can be in December.

Merry Christmas!

Paul

This last Saturday I met up with Paul for his senior photos. Paul is a foreign exchange student from Germany. He is enjoying his stay in Grants Pass and mentioned several times how much he likes seeing the mountains that surround our wonderful town. It turns out Paul’s dad is an avid photographer that loves to shoot landscapes. I hope I get to see his work sometime! The weather was great on Saturday (overcast days make for exceptional defused lighting) and we were able to get to several locations for photos. I’m posting a few shots right away for Paul and his family with a full gallery of images coming soon.

I miss you July!

It’s been so incredibly cold lately. I was going through some photos for our 2010 calendar and found this shot from July. It’s only December and I’m longing for summer - not a good sign!

It was nice to see the sun yesterday! It gave me the opportunity to meet up with Chris for some senior pictures. Here are a few of my favorites...more to come.

Wildlife Safari 2009

What a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We wanted to get out of town for a bit and thought a trip to WIldlife Safari would be just the ticket. It turned out to be a great day - the kids had a blast! They are already talking about another trip up there. The Taylors might have to make this an annual Thanksgiving weekend tradition!

Aaron

With all the wet weather we’ve had in Southern Oregon I was afraid shooting outside had come to an end. However, the sun came out for a bit this weekend and I was able to meet up with Aaron to get in a senior session. If you were at any of the GPHS football games this year you might recognize Aaron as the Cavemen’s center! We had a great session--look for lots of photos to come.

Yesterday was a fantastic day for photos! The sun was out and everything dried up for the most part. It was the perfect opportunity to meet Ryan and take a few senior photos. It will be a couple of weeks before a full gallery is up, but I wanted to post a few shots right away. Hope you enjoy.
