The Gleaves’

I met Yvonne and Jeff through our sons.  Their oldest son Gavin was a high level swimmer for Newberg High School when my son Grant started high school.  His freshman year, Gavin was a junior and the captain of the swim team.  A friendship was formed between our boys. I had never been to a swim meet before and found all of it so confusing and hard to follow.  Yvonne walked me through the schedule and gave me guidelines on how to watch.  One meet, Grant told me he was in lane 3, so I watched lane 3 and cheered wildly as the swimmer in lane 3 won the event.  When Said Swimmer got of the pool and took of his cap, it was Gavin not Grant.  I missed Grant’s entire event and acted like a raging lunatic mother thinking my freshman had won a varsity race.  LOL!

Fast forward three years.  Gavin is all graduated from high school and all our kids won’t stop growing.  Yvonne hired me to take their family portraits this summer.  We had magical golden hour light to showcase their beautiful family.  Thank you Yvonne for trusting me and for your patience in waiting for your images while I traveled all over Oregon backpacking, camping and running races.  It’s good to be home and good to get you your images.  May Jesus bless you and your family in the upcoming year.
