Jessica and Mark | Portland Engagement Photography

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog post that didn’t start with “…and we had to brave wind, rain and snow….” So I’m happy to report that we were pleasantly surprised by the sun shining on us Sunday. We started Jessica and Mark’s engagement session at Cathedral Park under the St. Johns bridge in Portland. Mark is an engineer so they wanted their engagement photos to reflect his love for architecture. I’d never shot at Cathedral Park before so I really enjoyed getting to shoot at a new location. Afterwards we headed over to Tom McCall Waterfront Park in downtown Portland. We were hoping the cherry trees would be in bloom – unfortunately they were not quite blossomed but the trees where a brilliant red color and made for a great backdrop!















Mark and Jessica- I had a great time with you, you guys make an adorable couple and I can’t wait to celebrate with you in August!

Rachel and Sam | Albany oregon Wedding Photography

Fair warning: there’s going to be a lot of photos in this post. I had so much fun shooting Rachel and Sam’s wedding and had a hard time narrowing the photos down for the blog! Although Rachel is originally from the area, Rachel and Sam are in the Navy and currently live on the East Coast, so I didn’t get to meet them until a few days prior to the wedding. Even though they didn’t get to meet most of their vendors until just before the wedding, Rachel and Sam were so relaxed and and their day turned out beautifully! The wedding was held at Spring Hill Country Club in Albany. This was my first time shooting a wedding at Spring Hill, but I certainly hope it wont be my last, the staff was so wonderful to work with and the grounds make for a beautiful backdrop for photos. Rachel and Sam’s guests sure know how to party! The dance floor was rocking and packed the entire reception!




















As always, head on over to my Facebook page and check out more photos of Rachel and Sam! While you’re there, ‘like’ the page for your chance to win a photo session!

Kaitlyn Class of 2012 | Jefferson Oregon Senior Photography

Katlyn is my senior rep from Jefferson High School. Jefferson has a late (spring) yearbook deadline so Katlyn opted to do another session now so she’d have more recent senior photos (see her rep session from last April HERE) after having to reschedule due to massive flooding we finally were able to do her session today. Katlyn braved the rain and the cold and we got some great photos of her. Over the weekend I invested in some studio equipment and Katlyn got to act as my guinea pig =) Katlyn and I had a lot of fun getting shots the reflect her personality – even if we did have to dodge rain drops in the process!
