Portland Weekend

My parents flew up to Portland for a ministry related conference this past weekend so we decided to drive down and see them. We were able to spend time with all our extended family as well. It was a wonderful visit, but too short as always.

Saturday we had lunch with my Dad’s side and then spent the night with Dean & Beth in Canby. Sunday we had a home church service, which I loved because I got to hear my Dad preach. We then went antique shopping in old town Aurora. I had a lot of fun taking pictures in one of the shops. Afterwards we spent the afternoon with my Mom’s side.

That night we stayed with Lamar, Cathy & Brittany. Monday we had breakfast with the family then headed for home.

Love the pictures! How much did you use Lightroom? The picture of your parents is astounding - I can't believe he's wearing a hat and there's no shadows - the lighting is awesome.

Thanks,
There wasn't much of a shadow to begin with because they were on a porch, I just upped the contrast a bit. I played with all of them on this post. The obvious ones are color changed, but I mostly increased the contrast or the "blacks" in the photos just a hair :)
