Mailee and Robin’s Wedding Album Suite
Mailee and Robin’s wedding album suite is a timeless collection of gorgeous images in three albums, the 11*14” Heirloom album with a metal cover for Mailee and Robin and two 8*8” parent albums for each of their their respective sets of parents. This is a beautiful way to preserve all the memories and thoughts from your wedding day to be passed down from generation to generation. These archival books are handmade in New York and use the most impressive leathers and papers to achieve a gorgeous piece of art.
Stella and Dot Party!
Last Winter I hosted an intimate and fun gathering of incredible women at my studio for a Stella and Dot Trunk Show! Stella and Dot is a hip and stylish line of jewelry, bags, scarfs and other fun accessories. I love the variety, the craftsmanship and the prices! 😉 The amazing Amanda Marchbanks hosted and Cupcake Jones made the delicious cupcakes! Take a peek at the Stella and Dot line and order online if you’re feeling crazy! (I’m personally loving my new Gilded Arrow Bangle, it’s elegant yet casual and I get a ton of compliments on it!)
Amy and Jeff
A Portland Waterfront Engagement
Amy and Jeff and I met up along the waterfront on a gorgeous Friday afternoon at the same time that the iconic cherry blossoms were in bloom. It’s such a Portland landmark and it was one of the nicer days in a while so the waterfront was really busy and I was a bit worried that Amy and Jeff would feel a little awkward in front of the camera and a lot of people, but instead, they made magic happen. Their kindness, compassion and deep love came through in each image and I love the bursts of laughter mixed all in there! Amy and Jeff are truly a beautiful and perfect pair and I’m so excited to be documenting their wedding this June!
Leslie and Mark
North Portland Engagements
Leslie and Mark and I met up recently around the Mississippi area, which is their neighborhood and mine, so it worked out great! Leslie and Mark are kind, sweet and comfortable to just chill and talk with. We had coffee, went to Por Que No, (which is where they had their first date!) and took their dog to a secret beach to play. I love having real life engagement shoots that replicate what you, as a couple, do in your spare time! The results are fun, true and honest and also document a great time in your life by showing who and where you are as a couple. Leslie and Mark are planning to say I DO this upcoming August at the very hip Castaway space in NW Portland. I can’t wait to photograph their fun day!
