Three photographer friends and I headed out for a little photo exercise in the wilds of suburban Portland recently. I have passed by this spot a few times while out for a run and always wanted to come back with a few willing conspirators, lights, and a camera. Thanks to Aaron, Ashley, and Bryan I got my chance last week!

For a few other perspectives on the evening, be sure to check out Aaron’s light show under the power-lines and each of us (Stella included) being doused with a flour-shower thanks to Ashley’s creative mischief.  Good times!!

Leland Davis Coyote Flood came into the world on Sunday, October 11th, at 2:17 pm.  He immediately went to mom’s chest, and Dad went straight for the camera! The photo below was taken mere minutes after his delivery. He is a very healthy boy, and our one-word description for him is vigorous! He is a strong squirmer, passionate crier, voracious eater, and keen observer. We are so extremely thankful for such an amazing little man and are enjoying getting to know him and learning how to live as a family.
