Chad and Danni

Last Friday I was up in Issaquah Washington for Chad and Danni's wedding, I was stoked to get to photograph at a new venue! These two are friends of Corey's from OSU...GO BEAVS! There were a lot of his buds from the ultimate frisbee team there, and it was great to see all of them in one place! D&C were super sweet and relaxed the whole day, which made my job easy!






















This is probably one of my new favs, I just love the combo of the barn and shrubs with the corrugated metal and of course the smoking hot B&G!



This is the barn that the wedding reception was in, absolutely gorgeous!







Canby girl

I had such a blast with Millie on Monday! She is the sweetest girl ever and has such a big heart. She could throw it down and was able to pull of the carefree look as well as being feirce in her HOT red dress! I had so much fun and was reminded how much I love my job. I am sure I say that a lot, but truely meeting and working with people like Millie make me realize how blessed I really am!



I need to get some converse! Millie totally rocked the converse and left me wanting to add them to my shoe wardrobe!


Hello! What girl doesn't dream of being photographed in a RED dress like this? Where was the photographer when I was getting my senior pictures done?




This was a great end to the session, this turquoise wall was super rad!
Have a rad senior year and rock it!

Country wedding

Last Saturday Corey and I headed to Washington for a wedding, and let me tell you we were in a part of Washington I didn't know exsisted! We got turned around a couple times, but as you can see we made it!
Stephanie and Alex were great, it was hot and there was very little relief from the sun, but they did it, and they looked amazing!
I am loving the turquoise boots...HOT!


When I asked Stephanie to sit down in these flowers/grass, she gave me the I am wearing a white dress look, but gave into me and did it anyway...and look at how it payed off, and the dress was fine!



Just a little celebration after the ceremony!








I think their guests had fun at the reception, what do you think?
Thanks Stephanie and Alex, I had a blast at your wedding! Have fun in Cabo!

downtown diva

This is Chelse one of the Alyssa Jul Ambassadors for Westview...super cute and up for anything! We met downtown at a park that is one of my favorite places to photograph at right now. Here is a little window into the session, although it was difficult to choose there were way too many favorites from this session!
So I asked Chelse to twirl for me, and I am pretty sure she was thinking, "what is this crazy photographer asking me to do?" I absolutly love this image, no big deal if it's not your fav, Chelse, I am just glad you humored me and did it!
Poor Chelse, I made her scale this wall that was maybe 4 or 5 ft high, in a dress in downtown PDX while people walked by looking at us like we were crazy, as you can see I won! She did it, and it was totally worth it!
I am pretty sure if someone asked me to do the things I ask my clients to do I would think they were nuts! I just love having people move and bend and climb and jump and so on, and it usually always pays off, plus I am used to getting the "your crazy look and somehow always get my way!" I wish I could do that with my husband!



Love, Love, Love this door!


Thanks Chelse, good luck with your Senior year! I am glad I got to be a part of it!

Another hot day and another hot bride!

I had two weddings this last weekend, Lori and Alex got married on Sunday at Hoyt Arboritum. I found out at the wedding that the bride's brother married a high school friend's sister...does that make sense? Anyway, it is just weird to realize how small the world really is!
Enough about that, check out some of my favs from the day!

I love the back of Lori's dress, it is a shame we only get to wear our wedding gowns one day!

Lori and Alex's ceremony was so intimate and whimsical. I loved the simple elegance of the ceremony.



again the back of the dress...one word HOT!


There is so much love between these two, it is so sweet to see how much these two care about each other. Congrats guys!




Miss Marti





I photographed Marti at Lewis and Clark College, which was my first time there and it was awesome. It also helped that I had an stunning subject!

hot day, hot bride!

Saturday Jen Griggs and I were at Edgefield photographing a wedding...do I need to remind you all that Saturday was 97 degrees? It really was fun despite the heat! Nicole and Casey were a dream to work with, they have such a passion for each other and they were so easy to work with. Casey you have found yourself a keeper, incase you need to be reminded, Nicole is HOT and looked totally Fab in her dress! Congratulations guys and thank you for letting me be a part of your big day!



This image is one of my favs...I love the dress in the wind, and Nicole turning around to check it out!

We found the walk in cooler that they use to refidgerate their kegs and just couldn't resist stepping inside to cool off!








This cement thing was just sitting in the parking lot, I think it might have been a water tower or something? Whatever it is or was it made for some rad photos!
