Engaged: Erica and Mike

I recently had the fun opportunity to
photograph Erica and Mike’s fun E-Session all around Sellwood! I love this couple’s great energy together and vintage/modern style. (Erica made the fun feathered hair piece!) We had
a great time getting the perfect shot of the sunglasses with the sun! I also loved their shoes, so I went a little shoe crazy! I’m so honored that they chose me to photograph
their June 13th, 2009 wedding at the incredible Portland White House. Thanks again Erica and Mike- I can’t wait! Hope you both love the sneak peek! Your comments are always welcome:)

Byron, Aubri, Bree and Gavin!

What a great family! I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing Byron
and Aubri’s engagements as well as their fun family pictures with Gavin, 9 and Bree, 14! We found a
lot of great spots and had fun with sunglasses and sun-flare! I’m so
looking forward to your vintage-inspired wedding on Aug. 21st at the
delightful Queen Ann Victoria Mansion.
Thanks so much from coming from Seattle for the pics and for choosing
me to document your family and wedding! Enjoy the preview:)

Jessica and Kevin are incredibly in love and a super fun couple to be around! We had a blast recently in NW Portland discovering cool walls, doors and some of my favorite trees ever! (Magnolia and Weeping Cherry) I love the VW Bug photo, so to whomever owns it… thanks for the killer photo op!

Griffin’s Senior Portraits

Griffin is an extremely talented viola player who is graduating from high school this year to take on the classical music world. We met recently to document both Griffin’s senior pics and professional head shots. It was incredible watching him play at the waterside, very surreal! I grabbed a quick photo of Lori, Griffin’s mom! Aw 🙂 Thanks so much Griffin for choosing me to document this monumental time, and for playing the viola for us! I also want to thank Yasmin Khajavi for helping me. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Wedding

Married: Michelle and Alex

Michelle and Alex have been married for over two years and inquired about an “engagement shoot for married couples” last fall. I love the idea of getting great photos taken of you and your honey long after you’ve said your I Do’s. It’s a great time to get
photos of you and your spouse for your living room, your family or even your facebook page! It was so great bonding with Alex and Michelle over our hometown of Ann Arbor Michigan! Go Blue! Alex and Michelle practice Kung Fu and ended the session with some beautiful forms. Michelle also manages Oblation, the amazing invite shop and paper boutique in the Pearl, which I highly recommend for save the dates or wedding invites! I also want to thank Chris Jernigan for assisting me! Hope you love the sneak peek Alex and Michelle!

Wedding

Sarah & Luke
Deer Creek Club Wedding Reception

About a month after Sarah and Luke’s incredible and intimate wedding in the pristine Washington mountains, they planned a reception in the great city of St. Louis, their hometown. All their family and friends greeted them Seattle Style! The reception at the Deer Creek Club was a blast with creative and fun references everywhere! Starbucks Coffee bags and The Seattle Times doubled as vases for the fresh flowers brought from Pike Place Market, rainboots acted as a holder for their guest sign-in pens, and hat umbrellas as party favors! Sarah and Luke are such cool people and their families are a ton of fun! Erica and I had the honor of traveling to photograph their stellar party and we also got a chance to hang out in this cool city with my friends, Kelda and Michael, whose wedding I photographed back in 2007! Love it:)

Events

Ecotrust Event at The Center For Architecture: Travel Portland

When Ecotrust contacted me about photographing an event at their new
space, I was thrilled! knowing how awesome their roof-top terrace is, I
knew that the Center for Architecture would be a unique venue for
networking meetings, events and weddings. Travel Portland held their
monthly meeting here and hosted an array of amazing vendors, including
the yummy Cupcake Jones, the delicious Food in Bloom Catering and Owen Vineyards, a local and distinct winery with delectable wine… Try
the Yakima Valley Red… it’s my fave! Thanks so much to all who made
this event a success! If you’re looking for a unique and open space to
host a small wedding reception, check out the Ecotrust’s website get
more info about the Center For Architecture.. The windows open to reveal
a nice walk-out to the heart of the Pearl District!
