images from ecuador 2010

i studied spanish in ecuador back in my college days and my friend, lauren, had the bright idea that we needed to take a reunion trip this year.  she's so smart.  she left her two kiddos with her amazing husband for almost 2 weeks an we tromped around with our backpacks like we were 21 again. i don't post personal photos very often on this blog but travel is a big part of who i am and why i love photography so much. i hope you like them.

even my camera takes bad photos when you hand it to some tourist on the top of a mountain! geeez.

photos taken in march 2010 in quito, cuenca and the beaches of canoa ecuador.

fall family portraits : three generations

rainy engagement photos at the forestry center

jen and dan are engaged and here's some of my favorites from our portrait session at the forestry center.  when i met them it was pouring buckets but we waited under our umbrellas and in true oregon style the sun peaked out just in time.  :)  i can't wait to see how these two stylies throw a wedding!
