I had a great time last night setting up the old photo station and just watching the action come to me. This time we brought along a couple leftover props from an old party including a mullet-like wig and some sunglasses. Since I was sort of off in a side room, I didn’t get to watch the full performances but I got to sneak in a few times and I could hear all of the bands (Loch Lomond, Tango Alpha Tango, and Double Plus Good), some of the band members even came in to pose for a few pictures.
I put a bunch of the photos below, but to see the whole gallery of nearly 200 pics, click here.

Sirius’ Bridal Shower (Portland Event Photographer)
The ladies at Events By Gather put together a wonderful bridal shower for Sirius this weekend, and I was lucky enough to get to photograph the brunch (and eat some of the yummy food). Sunday was terribly rainy, so “shower” took on two meanings as the guests arrived at the event, but once inside everyone was dry and happy and food and drink were delicious, and the decor really brightened up the day.
Sirius’ wedding is only a few weeks away, and I was amazed how relaxed she was with the wedding date coming up so quickly, she was absolutely radiant that day and gave an endless supply of smiles – which made for some wonderful pictures.
The shower had sort of a french countryside feel to the decor, black and white and bursts of red, if I remember correctly those will also be her wedding colors (and they look great together). The food was just perfect for the day, a selection of warm quiches with a wonderful strawberry, mushroom, and spinach salad, and then little chocolate and vanilla tarts for dessert, all the while accompanied by mimosas with floating raspberries.
It was such a wonderful way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon in Portland, and getting to be a small part of events like this shower remind me why I love doing what I do.

Julia (Family & Baby Photography Portland Oregon)
I spent last Sunday afternoon doing a photo session with baby Julia and her parents, Katie and Jeremiah. Katie’s family actually grew up about a block away from my house in NE Portland, so it was really a special shoot for me to get to meet her new family. Julia is a wonderfully laid back baby girl, very curious and able to move around a lot on her own (with the help of a table or something else for support, but she’ll be walking in no time). The hot toy during the photo session was a book called “Olivia’s Opposites,” Julia hardly put it down the whole afternoon and wanted mom and dad to read to her from it (and did a little reading out loud herself too), which made for some really nice photos. I’d brought the entire portable studio set up with me, but we ended up not needing it because the family home had lots of great natural light.
