Our Christmas Card to You



Merry Christmas from the Stram family!

Gary & Kristi



The last day of November I had the privelige of photographing the family of the "best darn soccer managers" in the club. Gary & Kristi are simply amazing people. They informed all the members of the soccer team when anything happened, researched directions to every away game with a map and any pertinent information needed. (Like how far the parking lot was from the playing field.) When they asked me to photograph their family, I was honored to say the least. They wondered if we needed to wait till next spring for the weather to change to take the pictures. Oregon is indeed rainy but I knew we could get a good day to take them. You be the judge, how does their family picture look?!

Rennick Family


I had the opportunity to photograph Rennick family on November 7th. The family had only a little over an hour of time and we had to do it at a certain time of day...the only time they would all be together. I told them we could do it. Little did I know that at that exact time we would have thunder, lighting and it would rain as hard as I've seen it in Oregon. Well, it's amazing what can be accomplished with a good attitude and a few umbrellas. In the driving rain, this is what we got...and we didn't have to pay any extra for the "free shower!"
