Bamboo
As many of you know, I’m in LOVE with the Fine Art Bamboo wall art. I have a lot of it at the JHP studio as well as my home. They are all supplied locally with an amazing company and are ready to hang. I love the fact that you can see the edge from an angle, but just the amazing picture straight on. White walls no more! Fill them with stunning memories!

Sister Trip to Manzanita
My sister and I were able to get a “sister trip” in before wedding season hit and I’m so happy we did. She’s my best friend and I love going on adventure with her! We climbed Neahkahnie mountain together and stayed in Manzanita. Some pink wine and celebrity gossip may or may not have happened… Ok it did and it was awesome. Love my sis! Go ask for her at Willamette Week’s restaurant of the year, and a personal favorite for a unique dining experience, Aviary.

Mailee and Robin
Mehndi and Turmeric Ceremony
Mailee and Robin’s turmeric wedding consisted of many different beautiful Hindu ceremonies that I had the absolute pleasure of documenting. The mehndi or henna ceremony and the tumeric ceremony are traditional and incredible Hindu wedding ceremonies that happen before the wedding. Blue Lotus Henna in Portland created stunning designs for the bridesmaids and female family members while Robin was rubbed with cleansing turmeric before the big day with his family surrounding him. Turmeric is not only used for cleansing, but can also come in the form of Turmeric pills and supplements, which provide a number of health benefits. I can’t wait to share the wedding from the Portland Art Museum later this week!
Family Portrait Mini-Sessions
The holidays are coming up quickly and we can’t wait! For a special treat for our awesome past clients, and potential new clients, we would like to offer a fun portrait shoot at Laurelhurst Park on Sunday,October 13th. The session is 30 fun filled minutes in and around the park for $199. This is a great opportunity for fresh family portraits, or a sweet anniversary gift to each other! These photos would be perfect for holiday cards and will showcase the beauty of Oregon’s changing season. Of course, a secondary rain location will be determined if the weather is really bad!
