Maternity Portraits: Trevor & Sarah in Oregon
Had the great pleasure today of photographing Trevor & Sarah (and Brody). Can't wait to meet the little guy!
Baby Portrait: Navelle at Six Months in Corvallis, Oregon
A follow-up shoot with the beautiful Navelle on her six-month birthday, those eyes are mesmerizing!
As you may know, I believe all babies are beautiful by definition, so it stands to reason that all mothers are, too. Here's the proof to back me up, Navelle with her beautiful mother.

Buescher Friends & Family: Memorial for Claude, 1990-2009
We are sad to announce that on July 29, 2009, our cat Claude passed away. He was 19 1/2 years old.
Like his Persian ancestors before him who ruled the royal houses of Europe (Claude is Himalayan which originated as a cross between Persian and Siamese cats), Claude ruled our house with dignity, love, and a bit of mischief thrown in for good measure. He will be missed. Herein I share snapshots taken throughout his very long feline life.
Here's Claude as a kitten, sometime in late spring of 1990:
Claude with his sister Sierra (front), and adopted big brother, Berkeley (middle):
Berkeley took his "big brother" status to heart, always loving and protective:
Claude as a "teenager":
Claude as a "young adult":
Anyone that knows Claude knows this pose all too well. Conor and BJ Bradford would throw coins on Claude's tummy and would see how much change would disappear into Claude's tummy fur before he'd get tired of the game and get up. I think the most was close to $5.00 in change!
For a time Conor and I lived in an apartment where we couldn't have pets, and Claude and Sierra went to live with Conor's parents (while Berkeley went to live with Conor's brother and sister-in-law, Brendan and Lisa). The snapshots below are from Christmas at Conor's parents--it was either 1994 or 1995:
We eventually got a house of our own, and Claude came to live with us again. Not long after this we added a new member to our family, Ruthie the Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix. At the beginning they didn't get along AT ALL. But after awhile, they became tolerant of each other as can be seen below:
For fun Claude memories, I would be remiss if I didn't include our Christmas magnet we sent out one year. Claude would brave the most gross indignity for love of his humans!
I'm a bit superstitious, and one of my good luck superstitions is that whenever I get a new piece of photographic equipment, the first shot taken with it has to be of a pet. Claude was my model for many a piece of equipment. A selection from these shots is featured below:
These last two images I had taken just one week before Claude passed, not knowing the end was coming so soon. I had prepared them with my usual photo business logo border for posting to my blog and hadn't quite gotten a chance to post them when Claude passed. I add them here now as part of his memorial. He was handsome to the very end. I miss him so much. Thank you for indulging me this long homage to our cat, he was a significant part of our lives and his passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts.

Travel Photography / Random: Memories of visits home to Idaho
So I've been going back through my photos from home to find photos of my dad and uncle who both passed away in the last several months, and found a few to share. I could only find one photo of my dad and uncle together, not the greatest composition, but I'm glad I have it none the less.
I'm also including some photos I forgot I had taken of my nieces and a few shots at Grandpa's. I miss home and do look forward to going there for my dad's memorial in April, even though it'll be hard. Bittersweet.

Grandpa Harold's 90th Birthday
What a milestone! My paternal grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday on November 16th. I was lucky enough to be able to be there with him in Idaho to celebrate his big day along with other family members and friends. Here are a few of my favorite snaps from the day. Love you, grandpa!
Just some chairs on grandpa's back porch.
