Winter Family Photos – Portland, OR
About a month ago, one one of the coldest days of December, I had the chance to photograph the darling Evelyn and her parents. It was so chilly that we only spent a few minutes outside taking pictures at a time, and went inside to warm up in between our mini photo sessions. I think it was worth it though, because we ended up with some really adorable photographs.
Lindsay and Keith – Wedding at the Lodge at Mountain Park – Lake Oswego, Oregon Wedding
Lindsay and Keith were married on a foggy winter evening last week at the Lodge at Mountain Park. The chandelier that they hung from the wedding arbor was a perfect compliment to the candles and strings of lights around the venue and created a beautiful and romantic feel to the room where they were married. Lindsay had a really lovely hand-made fabric bouquet (as did all of her bridesmaids), and each centerpiece carried on that vintage feel (I really loved the use of older books for centerpieces). The dessert table was really hard to resist and the white fondant cake looked amazing in front of the fireplace. The newly-married couple made their exit at the end of the evening under the dim light of many many sparklers held by friends and family. It was a beautiful wedding and I was so lucky to be there.
Ellilea and Rick – Lake Oswego Wedding – LDS Temple and Tumwater Room
I met Ellilea and Rick right after their ceremony at the LDS temple in Lake Oswego to take some wedding portraits. Although it was a bit foggy that morning, we managed to get some great wide shots that showed the beautiful (and very tall!) structure behind them as they stood in front of the reflecting pool outside the temple. I loved how beautiful Ellilea’s hair looked against the marble of the building, and compared with the white and cream colors of her wedding dress and decor. After photos, I followed them to the Tumwater Room in Oregon City for a ring ceremony in front of lots of their friends and family. Since it was December, there were many beautiful Christmas trees up at the venue, the dark greens in those trees looked really lovely with the gold and white centerpieces. It was such a joy to be a part of their wedding day, some of my favorites are below.
2013 Fremont Holiday Fest – Photos with Santa
I had a wonderful time last night photographing lots of kids from the neighborhood as they visited with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Grand Central Bakery on Fremont. Santa came to visit as part of the annual Fremont Holiday Fest, and I was happy to be asked to run the photos by one of my favorite event planners, Katie Wilgus of Gather Event Planning, who was in charge of getting all the kids signed up for photos and kept everything running smoothly!

Family Photos – Wilsonville

I’ve been so excited to start posting some of the family photos I’ve gotten to shoot over the last few months – but I’ve been waiting patiently to give people time to send out holiday cards so I don’t ruin the surprises for their friends and family. I am particularly excited about this set because it is a family that I first photographed a couple years ago when their little girl was only about six months old – and so it was really fun for me to see how she’s grown (and to meet her little brother), and also to see my own photo style change.
We braved the extreme fog that October morning and took some photos at a local park, even though it was a little chilly – the kids were great sports about being out and about – and we even got some great smiles out of each one of them.
I absolutely loved working with them! A few of my favorites are below.
