Crater Lake Oregon

Disclaimer: No photo enhancing whatsoever here! The water of the lake is really that blue!

Crater Lake Fun Facts:

1. It is the deepest lake in North America and the 7th deepest lake in the world.

2. The Landmark was once volcano Mt Mazama which imploded in 5700 BC, and now it's a lake!

3. The Lake is featured on the Oregon State Quarter

4. The waters of Crater Lake are some of the purest in terms of the absence of pollutants in North America. (Take that Evian!)

5. I've never seen water so royal blue in all my life.  It is absolutely breathtaking!

6. Park Rangers are cool.

The End

Thursday's Thoughts

Lady Behind the Lens: Unusual facts about me intermingled with a super embarrassing story.

* My favorite sushi roll is the Spicy Tuna roll

* I rarely wear jewelry except for my wedding rings.  I am allergic to most earrings.

* My aunt Robbie introduced me to one of my most favorite snacks.  Popcorn with Jr mints (together in your mouth at the same time).  It's amazing!!!  Pair it with an iced coke, a romantic comedy, and a comfy couch, and I am in sheer heaven!

* I have had lipo-suction.  I wish it was in the way you're thinking! Nah, I had reconstructive surgery on my lower left side after I was a passenger in a major roll over car accident.

* I do not like the word "flesh" EW!  But I do like the word "tumultuous".  I just like the way it sounds.

* I can never spell the words exercize or definately (exercise, definitely thank you spell check)

* I have a 3.9 GPA in college. (Darn that A-!)

*Yet I still cannot spell the words exercize or definately....hmmm.....

* I wear all my emotions on my sleeve.  I am a very exuberant and passionate person.  I am driven and determined.  I have been told I have a strong personality. (Hopefully not in too bad of a way).  I am also very decisive. Because of this combination of personality traits, my shy somewhat timid sister calls me "Steamroller". hahaha

* Embarrassing story time!  When I was in 11th grade in High school, I ripped my best friend's black pleather (yeah, you heard me right, pleather) pants right up the butt at a dance.  I was doing this sweet dance move and all the sudden RRRIIIPPPP! I looked down and my white undies were glowing florescent in the black lights.  Probably one of the most embarassing moments of my life.

Stay tuned for next week's Thursday's Thoughts as I recount embarrassing story number 2.  It involves wardrobe malfunctions, sweat, and cheer tryouts.

Dunn-Davis-Kent-Wallace Families

I am not lying when I say that these beautiful people are some of my favorite people on the whole entire planet.  Their love and laughter is absolutely infectious.  Would you believe that I'm related to them? How come I got skimped on this gorgeous gene pool? Sheesh!  Would you believe that we shot this entire session in under an hour in the rain?  Thankfully the light cooperated with me and we were able to capture some stunning images.  See for yourself. :)

In Oregon I...

went on a long family bike ride

Yeah, it was bright. :)

My bum still feels bruised from sitting on that old seat for so long!

marveled at the beauty of the countryside,

Played games with the fam,

came to the conclusion that the west is the best,

laughed it up with my whole fam

tried my hand at landscape photography, and quite enjoyed it!

smelled the earth after rain,

had my breath taken away by the majesty and beauty of crater lake, (no photo enhancing whatsoever here, the water is really that blue!)

had a handful of family portrait sessions that I can't wait to show you,

and overall had the greatest time with my family in such a beautiful place!  I am so lucky to be surrounded by such a wonderful bunch.  Mullac Abu!

Lwin Family

Laura is a childhood friend of my older sister.  I could easily post embarrassing childhood photos of Laura and Erika on here (think awkward tween phase slip 'n' slide birthday party)...but I'm feeling extra nice today so I think I'll post beautiful photos of Larua and her beautiful family. :) I haven't seen Larua in about 15 years.  I was thrilled when we re-connected a la amazing facebook.  I gush every time she posts photos of her kids so you can imagine my excitement when she contacted me to do their family photos!  We returned to the sentimental place where Laura and Charles said their "I do"s almost 15 years ago. It was a beautiful setting for a beautiful family. 

Lizzie, how old are you?

I'll end with my fav. :)
