Miss Natalie was a total natural in front of the camera! We spent some time exploring some of my favorite spots around Albany and were able to capture some great images that showed off her beautiful personality. Enjoy! 
Don’t forget to head over and ‘like’ the Facebook page to see more of Natalie and to check out what I’m up to currently!
Jordan | Santiam Christian Class of 2014
I had a great time getting to know Jordan a few weeks ago. I really enjoy photographing seniors, and Jordan was no exception, he has a contagious smile and was up for anything! We spent some time wandering around Albany and getting some photos that matched his personality and style. 
Thanks for hanging out with me Jordan, best of luck on your last year of high school!
Yellow Gold Farm | A Different Kind of Open House
I loved shooting at Yellow Gold Farm this summer and while I’ve have yet to photograph a winter wedding there, I am dying to because I KNOW it will be a super cozy and inviting winter location. 
Their beautifully done indoor space features a large fireplace and I think a crackling fire during a winter reception would be romantic and intimate! If you get lucky with the weather on your fall or winter wedding day, the outdoor portion of the venue features some great night lighting and your guests will enjoy wandering their lawns. 
Heather is the owner and [amazing] resident event planner – on October 19th from 3 – 7pm Yellow Gold Farm will be opening their doors to everyone for a wonderful open house. Heather has put together a line up of her favorite vendors and I’m honored to be included in that list. Each vendor will be decorating a table in a fall or winter theme and showing off just how cool YOUR winter wedding or event can look. 
I know some people avoid bridal shows because they can be pushy, high pressure and not fun for everyone. Heather is calling this “A Different Kind of Open House” for a good reason! No pushy vendors here, just a chance to meet and hang out with some local vendors who and skilled at making your wedding or event beautiful and memorable. There will be discounts, prizes, food and treats. Even if you’re not currently planning an event, come say hi! Do you have a friend that is a bride or groom? Bring them for a fun day out and the opportunity to taste some cake if nothing else =)
One of my favorite things about the indoor space at Yellow Gold Farm is it is so versatile. You can easily have a large event and not feel cramped, yet you can also have a small intimate gathering and not feel overwhelmed by the space. Gather around the fire and chat, or hit the dance floor- either way your and your guests will enjoy the location. 
You are welcome to just show up, or you can get more details and RSVP HERE. Have questions? Shoot me an email: Danae@danaejonesphotography.com. I hope to see you there!
