We’re about to get our Christmas celebration on - loving time together with family and this crazy snowy weather! We wanted to share a few favorite Christmas tunes with you all. Download them here before we take them off the server after Christmas: Gabriel Boone Christmas Mix 08 (taken off the server… Happy New Year)

Merry Christmas!

(a snow day on Mt. Hood with the Holga)

Three pounds of fury make up this ferocious Shi-Chi. Finley came to us a couple of months ago and her quirkiness fits right into our little family. She makes the perfect processing companion as she curls up in her bed in the studio.

With the blanket of frigid snow that now carpets our front yard she is having a hard time finding the motivation to venture out to “relieve” herself. I can’t really blame her as the snow nearly envelops her.

Between the snow and the stomach flu that has hit all of my family except for myself (keeping my fingers crossed) we have been pretty much home bound, but nothing keeps GBP from delivering our awesomeness. Rain, sleet or snow - nothing keeps us from delivering the goods.

Thanks to the use of public transportation this trip was quite manageable.

Looking through some weddings that we haven’t posted yet but hope to soon. I thought I might start posting some favorites.

So I teased everyone a while back with this image of Heidi + Tyson and never posted the rest of the shoot. We were running a bit late and ended up at a different location than originally intended but these guys rolled with the punches and still managed to get all lovey-dovey in front of the camera. As usual, we work with the bestest clients ever and I’m totally looking forward to shooting their 2009 wedding.

Somehow I managed to steal Thomas and Donna away from their busy schedules to shoot some engagement photos of them.  Donna is in her residency down in Half Moon Bay, and Thomas is a specialist at OHSU here in Portland.  As you can imagine, time together for them is very valuable. 

Thomas is loved by everyone I know - Jacqi and I have had the opportunity to get to know Thomas in our “home group” at the Pearl Church.  We were so stoked when Thomas told the group that he and Donna had started to date… then eventually he asked Jacqi and I to help him with his elaborate plan to surprise Donna with a proposal.  In the past year or two we’ve really enjoy becoming good friends with Thomas and Donna and are very excited to shoot their wedding coming up in the Bay Area.
