Melanie + Nate = <3 We had a lot of fun around Portland, dodging the rain and finding the nooks where M&N started their lasting love. First date at the Aladdin to see the Magnetic Fields, Paradox Cafe for a favorite spot for this kind and adorable Portland couple. So looking forward to their vegan wedding at the Crystal Ballroom this June. Thanks so much M&N- you’re both oh, so , lovely!

We are really excited to announce our first ever portrait session day in the park! On October 23rd, 2010, Jessica Hill Photography will be at Laurelhurst park in SE Portland. We have select 30 minute time slots available at a discounted price (normally $250!) for your children and family. We will have a few fun things for the kids, including pumpkins to pose next to and leaves for a great autumn themed session. You will be asked back to the studio in 2-3 weeks to review your 50 images from the session for a one-on-one viewing to pick the perfect prints for your home.

 

As with any offer, there’s a couple disclaimers:

  • We encourage you to get the entire family in a few shots, however we do limit to five people, and only immediate family please!
  • If you are late to your appointment, it will cut into your shoot time.
  • In the event of rain, another indoor location will be announced prior to the shoot day.

These pictures would make such an excellent photo for a holiday card, a gift for Grandma &
Grampa, or a nice addition to your wallet to show off your best joy 🙂
We are offering limited times, and they are filling quickly so book yours today!

Kim and Brian and I all met up recently for an incredible photo session in SE Portland. Banjo’s, Guitars, VW’s and concert T’s… we had a lot to choose from. K&B own a VW, but they live in Seattle, so it was magic that we saw a few parked on the street. Little did we know that there was someone inside! Dear VW guy- Thanks for letting us use your bus for the pics. Kim and Brian are getting married at the beautiful Resort at the Mountain in Welches OR and I am really looking forward to documenting this lovely couple on their wedding day!

Tram and Souk are having a July wedding that I’m so excited to be a part of. Tram and Souk are lovely and we had a great time walking around SE Portland to capture some awesome photos. We collaborated about making the images have a double meaning. Instead of the normal park engagement photos, we really told the story of their proposal in a creative and fun photo documentary way using location and props to tell the story. (Who doesn’t like cupcake props!) Special thanks to the new and always yummy, Saint Cupcake Deluxe and to Le Pigeon, an incredible French inspired restaurant serving beautiful farm fresh food. Can’t wait for your wedding and hope you love the sneak peek T&S!

Danielle and Sean are in love with laughter, fun and each other. We met up recently at Laurelhurst Park in SE Portland and they brought some fun props like bubbles, candy and American flags that were made in China…. We laughed a lot and had a great time gallivanting around the park finding cool backdrops for the pics. I’m super excited to photograph their May wedding, which is right around the corner. Hope you love the pics D&S!

Francoise_Weeks_Flowers4.jpg Francoise is a wonderful woman and talented florist who works out of her incredible studio in SE Portland.

Francoise Weeks is an incredible European Florist who specializes in weddings and events. I was able to attend her woodland class last week and loved learning all about arrangements and the organic natural elements that go into these designs. Francoise taught me to look at my yard and garden differently and to explore the various textures of different plants and leafs within the design. My finished design is on the left hand side of the bottom image, and Francoise’s is on the right. Francoise is great and I definitely recommend her!
