A Rainy Day for the Perry's?

I had the great opportunity to photograph the Ken, Mindy, Tate, Aria, & Avery up in Portland,OR not too long ago. This is the second year in a row we've been able to hook up for some family photos.
We had planned the session well in advance. As I live in Santa Barbara I didn't think too much about weather. Of course Oregon is different. My wife, Stephanie, and I had planned a road trip swinging through Portland on our way back from Montana (Stephanie's home state). Well wouldn't you know it, the only day forecasted for rain is the day of the shoot. We find this out two days beforehand. Lucky for us it's only supposed to rain in the morning. So with a bit of last minute rescheduling of the nine shoots I had to do, we were able to spread out the one day session in to two days. I must say everyone involved was really flexible and it all worked out great! So here is a bit from the Perry's session...

Avery... the youngest

Tate and Aria. As soon as I brought out the camera Aria started to pose... Totally adorable

Aria has a smile and a voice that melts your heart


Ken & Aria... Daddy's little girl

Well I've been thinking about starting this blog for a long time. It seems as though everyone else has some sort of online journal going on so I guess I should jump on the band wagon. Of course this is exactly why I didn't want to start one. But over the past months I'v seen the usefulness of them. I'll be addressing a website remodel early next year.
So here goes nothing...
