The Holst Fam got to spend a few days with the Bausmans from California and we were able to squeeze in a family session and a fun kiddo session! For fun kiddo pics, click here www.amyholst.com/blog/squirrel-california-kiddos-douglas-county-oregon-photographer/

Erin and I go way back and have been friends since high school youth group. She married a great guy and they now have four cool kids.

We spent the morning out at Celebration Ranch where the kids enjoyed being pushed in the swing (my oldest included). Celebration Ranch is such an AMAZING place. Check it out when you can and you should definitely plan on taking your family out there for some camping Memorial Day Weekend! For details www.celebrationranch.org/Celebration_Ranch/events.html

Well, I’ve been told I’m not blogging enough these days, so thought I’d post some sessions. This is one of my favorite families to photograph (and to know) in one of my favorite locations! You can learn more about Celebration Ranch at www.celebrationranch.org

There was the threat of rain during my time with the Beatties, and it was pretty chilly, but we all had a great time. As you can see from the pictures, Bruce & Mary have some serious love between them and they stay cozied up while the boys ran all over the place (I won’t mention who was texting, ahem). There is just such joy within this family that I think it’d be impossible to spend time with them and NOT have a smile on your face! And no, Bruce isn’t extremely short, Mary is just standing on a crate.

One of my favorite pictures from the day!

Thanks, Beatties, for such a fun day! Can’t wait til next time!

I’m so excited to share the vision of my friend, Crea Willis, with my blog readers. Crea is the director of Celebration Ranch, www.celebrationranch.org and is AMAZING (gorgeous too)!

Here’s a little excerpt describing what Celebration Ranch is all about: “By providing the opportunity, activities, and information required to connect young leaders with their natural environment, we can help to uncover and empower the next generation of creative and environmental innovators”. Crea is collaborating with her in-laws, the owners of this heaven-on-earth property, and they have some great plans for the ranch! They have teepees out there for the kids (my own kids FREAK OUT with excitement when they see them). Beautiful ponds, amazing views, and vast serenity. They have plans for various art classes, fishing, archery, conservation, and even cross-fit training! The focus of their programs will be on children, with the ultimate goal of involving families and the community. How awesome that such a place will exist just minutes from Roseburg?!?!

Here’s Crea and her adoring hubby, Troy. Who, incidentally, used to jump over me on his BMX bike when I was a little kid (one of the downfalls of being the only girl in the neighborhood).

The Willis clan!

Don’t these boys look like little models? Theo and Mose, you guys rock!

Thanks so much for sharing the beauty with our wonderful little community. I can’t wait to get tons of people involved in Celebration Ranch!
