Your Bio

My husband and daughters are the reason I am passionate about photography. I began taking action shots of my daughters when they began playing t-ball, and now years later as they play fast pitch softball. I love catching that special unique shot that is out of the ordinary, as well as the awesome slide into home plate, or line drive back to the pitcher. I strive to get the best action shots of kids playing their hearts out. Catching the memories that will last a lifetime.
I am constantly seeking and finding new subjects to photograph - God has provided quite the canvas to capture His creations in a photo. I also believe I live in one of the most beautiful states that not only has the mountains and ocean but filled with beautiful forest areas- and awesome sites.

If you are interested in having me take actions shots of a game, senior portraits, family photo, celebrations or event please e-mail me at Athomeplatephotography@comcast.net.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my many galleries - I hope you enjoyed them,
God Bless,
Diane

Nice Kitty!

Tonight is Gresham High's Homecoming - which means Homecoming Court and Class Floats. The theme this year is "super heroes"
and the junior class is the Justice League. A friend of ours does fabulous air brushing as you can see - Alexis was Cheetah.

Thanks Roger for coming out and doing this for the kids :)

"Little People, Big World Fans"

For all you fans of the TLC show "Little People, Big World" - Ali and I met Amy Roloff - during a food drive sponsored by the local radio station -"The Wolf". She was very kind and spent quite a bit of time talking to Ali about Halloween costumes - which is Ali's favorite topic. As we walked away Ali in her sweet 3 year old voice said - that nice lady is as big as me.

Hazzards of the Job!
In all the years of shooting softball pictures I have never been hit by a foul ball - yeterday I got hit by two . First game I was along the sidelines just behind 1st base when a ball was hit and rickochet off a pole and into the side of my head. Other than swelling and a little pain - I could still shoot..although I noticed my sunglasses becoming tighter. Next game I am in the dugout along 1st base and went to move a ball bucket. Girls were coming into the dugout to get ready to hit, while the other team was in the field warming up - shortstop over threw to the 1st basemen - smack right into the right side of my face leaving me with a fat lip - this took away from any pain I felt in my head. Managed to finish shooting the rest of the games! However I left my battery charger at the park in the box office - so I can't upload any pics taken yesterday. Luckly my daughter has practice tonight at the field so I can retreive it then. I borrowed my youngest daughters camera to shoot this lovely SP

Centennial vs Estacada Youth Football

Today I went to shoot my nephews football game. Very exciting and fun game to watch. This mother wearing green running along the side lines was very entertaining to watch - especially at this time while her son was scoring a touch down. I love parents that get into the game - and this lovely lady did just that.

"Know The Facts"

My daughter Taryn is part of a group of kids that volunteer at Northwest Family Services. They go around to local junior highs and talk to 8th graders about teen pressures: ranging from violence to drugs to sexual activity. I am very proud of her - she is a really amazing young woman.

This is for my oldest daughter Krystal.
She was diagnosed with chrons disease when she was 19 and just getting ready to start college. She ended up having two surgeries and given a colostomy. That was about 8 years ago. She has not had any problems until this weekend.
She has been admitted twice to the hospital in the past 4 days. It appears she will be having yet another surgery tomorrow if not sooner.
So, forgive me if I don't have time to make comments for a few days...although you guys make for great therapy and relaxation :)

Happy Mother's Day! to all my fellow smugmug mom's.

Rarely am I on the otherside of the camera lens..unless one of my daughters grab the camera...in honor of today I let them share my obsession. Thank you Krystal, Taryn and Taylor for being the best girls a mother could ever wish for!

Today I had a 8u girls softball team to shoot. I love the action you get with the older girls games, but you can't beat the cuteness of the little 8 year olds. This team's name is the "flip flops" ...so of course for their pictures they all wore flip flops.

"Snow is on the mountain"

Late this afternoon I noticed the sun shinning on our beautiful Mt. Hood and it was loaded with snow...I would have liked to take a drive to a spot I could have gotten a clear shot of the mountain - but this will have to do.
Thank you all for your comments - I appreciate all of them during these busy days. Hope all is well!
