Summer Special Time!

07.02.2009 Posted in client info, photography geekyness

It is getting warm out there and really feeling like summer! I have to admit I love all things July, BBQs, fireworks, popsicles, little girls in sundresses, gatherings with friends and family. I am really looking forward to some fun kiddo sessions in the warm weather and beautiful light. I still have some room in my July schedule so if you are thinking about booking a session now is the time.

So get to the special right?! Any Bump (maternity), Baby, Kids or Family Session booked by July 15th gets $30 off my session fee! That would be the special price of $95 instead of my normal $125. (good deal eh?!).

I have lots of great ideas, I am thinking colorful popsicles, bathing suits and kids splashing in pools would be a grand way to capture the essence of summer. There are also some great ways to capture the whole family in the beautiful Oregon weather. I hate to admit it, but the rain is just around the corner. We have to grab the good weather while we can! Contact me today and we can talk details.

and because I can not post with out a photo check out this little dude:

liampeek-1

I got to hang out with Mr. L last summer and we had blast, oh how they grow! I hope to see you again soon little guy.

So you have just a few short weeks to jump on this deal. Once August hits I will be in full on wedding mode and have a very limited schedule for portrait sessions.

Talk to you soon!

Just one, for the lovely Meghan & Matt

07.01.2009 Posted in weddings

Matt and Meghan are back from their honeymoon and very sweetly & subtly asked to see a sneak peek of their awesome wedding the weekend before last. I am working on a full peek now, but I thought I would toss one up for the newly weds.  I had such a wonderful time, really this wedding rocked! I will have lots and lots more to show very soon, but for now here is one of my favs…

art, love & engagement photos (kelsey & stephan sneak peek)

06.29.2009 Posted in Uncategorized

Kelsey & Stephen rock.

When Kelsey first contacted me I asked her to tell me about herself and her wedding. She told me that she and Stephan were both artists, very laid back and will be getting married at the beautiful Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro later this summer. It all sounded wonderful, by the time we finally got together to go over album samples and chat I knew I had to shoot their wedding. I am soo looking forward to it!

We had a great time in inner SE Portland at their engagement session last week. Here are some of my favorites so far:

paintingset

Check out Stephan’s beautiful work. My photos do not do it justice. He also showed me a few more, he is so talented!

kelseyStephenLove (12 of 24)

The loft is still under construction as you can tell, we took the opportunity to get some really different images inside.

BWwallset

We also found some fun grungy buildings in the neighborhood to use.

kelseyStephenLove (14 of 24)

The neighborhood is in the produce district so we found lots of great colors and textures to shoot. They are so sweet together.

kelseyStephenLove (19 of 24BW)

You have to love the heart graffiti right! Perfect for these two love birds.

kelseyStephenLove (24 of 24)

This one might be my favorite of the set. Kelsey just fit so perfectly all snuggled up next to Stephan.

As the sun started to set we headed up to the roof of Stephan’s building. I have to admit the rickety old staircase scared the crap out of me. I was not sure if it was going to be worth it, but then we reached the top at it was amazing! The perfect sunset over the city.

kelseyStephenLove (26 of 24)

So worth the hike up the scary stairs.

They are so sweet together, and so fun!

kelseyStephenLove (31 of 24)

and I had to post this last one, it is really more of a blooper, but you have to love the real un-posed laughter. We had so much fun!

Kelsey & Stephan I had a wonderful time tromping around the city with you. Thanks again for sharing the loft with me and being up for anything. I hope you are as happy with the set as I am. I will have the while galery for you very soon. And of course I could not be more excited about your wedding day! Like all my new clients I would love to offer you a little comment challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this blog post I will hook you up with an 11×14 wall print of your choice! So get commenting kids.

FOUR! (just in time)

06.25.2009 Posted in Uncategorized, my kid, my life

Happy Birthday to my sweet, lovely, kind, sassy, infuriating, wicked smart, hilarious, goofy, perfectly imperfect, little girl.

We had a grand day of delicious food, shoe shopping, zoo animals, toy stores, visits with friends and pajama-movie parties.

We are a little tuckered out, but I could not let the day pass with out posting some birthday love for my little diva on the blog.

Here are a few snaps from our ZOO visit this afternoon.

bdaydivaset

such a goofy girl.

setforblog

We saw some super cool things at the Zoo, including the brand new baby elephant! He was so very cute. We even brought one of the while beasts you see above home. :)

usset

and a rare appearance of the rarest of all beasts, the Mommy/Redhead photo! Even if she is being grumpy and refusing to smile, and it is not so flattering of me, having a photo of the two of us is so nice. :)

We still have a few social events tomorrow and then the big PARTY on Saturday. It is going to be quite the long weekend, I am sure I will be posting more, but for now just a bit of birthday love. You are my favorite person in the whole world honey, and I would not change anything about you for the world.

sarah & john david sneak peek part 1

06.23.2009 Posted in weddings

Sarah and John David are nothing short of fantastic! You will remember them from their super fun engagement session a little while back. Well last weekend I had the honor of capturing their wedding in Aloha Oregon. The big event was beautiful and lots of fun. We had a great time shooting away, and of course I can not pack it into one sneak peek. So here is the first of the lot.  Enjoy!

getting ready her

Sarah had a whole tribe of wonderful women helping her getting ready. I had such a blast with them!

flowers

Leah at Sweet Nellie’s Flowers did an amazing job with the flowers, truly outdid her self with this bouquet!

gettingreadyhim

I was also very lucky to have the lovely and talented Jenny as my second shooter for the day. She did a great job of catching John David getting ready.

THE DRESS

Sarah’s dress was stunning, if I remember correctly the details were hand stitched by a family member. Beautiful!

walkingawayforest

for the portraits we found s perfect local part with some beautiful wooded paths.  The light in the trees was almost magical, and of course a beautiful couple right in the middle of it all was just over the top perfect to shoot.

partyonpath

the whole wedding party was super fun, we had a great time roaming around the park and finding spots to take photos.

couplefieldgoodness

We also found a perfect little field outside the church. Big love to Sarah & JD for braving the grass! I love it when people are willing to go into the thick of it for a good photo! You two rock!

I have many, many more to show, another peek is in order for sure. We still have the ceremony and reception to get to!

Sarah and John David I had a fabulous time with the two of you. Thank you again for having me out to be a part of your special day. I wish you two nothing but happiness in your life together. I will have another peek for you soon, and the whole set as well!

Happy Father’s Day!

06.21.2009 Posted in my kid, my life

I am an extremely luck girl, true story.

I have an amazing job I adore, fantastic clients, a rocken almost 4 year old that rocks my world, and a freaking fantastic hubby. It’s Father’s day so I asked this sweet man what he would like for his day, I threw out some options. A BBQ? Frisbee golf? A trip to Powells? A hike in the gorge? I gave him any choice, and you know what he chose?

This:

fathersdayconstruction-1

This is our soon to be new kitchen. The kitchen and house remodel has been going on for a while, and you would think he would want a day off? But no, last night he was out there late finishing up our beautiful kitchen flooring, and today he and my father are installing the cabinets!He is the best right? I mean know he loves all this stuff, it is fun, but I am sure he would have also enjoyed a day off and a little pampering.

So here’s to you baby, to my partner in crime and the best daddy a little red head could ask for. You are amazing, and we love you to bits. Happy Fathers Day. :)

And a very happy fathers day to you all too! All my lovely baby clients this year celebrating their first fathers day, and those who are veterans! I hope it is filled with love and joy!

a quick break from our regularly scheduled programing…

06.16.2009 Posted in my kid, my life, photography geekyness

We take a break from our regularly scheduled posting cute families & beautiful couples to bring you late breaking news…

my kid is cute!

The little redheaded diva had her very first dance recital this evening and her oooooyo gooooooy mama in between tears of pride had to snap a few. She did a fabulous job, in between perfect little ballet & tap steps she even made time to mug for the camera! Such a little goofball. Well while these are really just a few snapshots I had to share!

hermoves

She had absolutely no problem being out front of a crowd, yeah I think I know where she gets that from. ;)

set

Yes that is my girl sticking out her tongue and being a goof ball, I think she get that trait from her daddy.

She wanted to go to bed wearing the polka dotted tutu and sequined hair band but I talked her out of it. I am sure we will see more of this particular outfit again very soon. :)

Have I mentioned she is cute?

Thanks for indulging me guys, more client photos soon to come!

Emily + Stephen = Adorableness {engagement sneak peek}

06.16.2009 Posted in Uncategorized

adorableness.. is that a real word?

If not I have made it up because Emily & Stephen deserve something special. Not only does Emily have an extra special cool name, these two are simply wonderful. So full of love and fun. When we met for the first time last year I and I got a chance to hear all about their September wedding I knew I had to be there. They are smart, funny, quirky, silly and well adorable. I have been looking forward to our Mt. Tabor engagement session for some time now and we had a great time. There were so many images to choose from for this peek it was a little ridiculous, so I was forced to pair it down. E&S many, many more to come!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

parkbench

We met up at Mt. Tabor park in SE Portland, the spot of their engagement, how cute is that! They were a bit nervous at first, but we got giggling and having fun pretty quickly.

BWWall

Their lovey-dovey cuteness just melts me.

swingkiss

One of the reasons we came to the park was the play set, these two are super playful and fun! I hear emily is even making her own coloring book together for the smallest guests at the wedding! Such a great idea!

fieldset

I loved emily’s floral hairband, so stylie it gave the perfect pop of color to the pretty field.

robotandflowers

and of course mad props to Mr. Stephen for his wardrobe as well! This shirt kills me, I am thinking my cute hubby might need one. Because well, Science rocks!

bestoneevah

*sigh* and this one has to be my favorite of the whole bunch.  The adorableness is clear.

cuteshoesset

that right there is the spot of the proposal, cute right! And of course with shoes like that I had to do the custom “shoe shot”! Em I love your style! :)

spiney

and this last one is honestly kind of a mistake. I turned around quickly, or was walking down the path and caught a quick smooch. I love how the edges ended up a bit blurry and just had to post it. Turned out kind of cool right?! At least I think so ;)

Em & Stephen thanks for being up for anything and tromping around the park with me. I had a great time, and thanks for the delish lemon aid! I can not wait until your wedding in a few months. I can already tell it is going to be a great one.  And of course like all my other couples I have to hook up the blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to leave a comment on this here post I will hook up a 11×14 wall hanging of your choice! SO leave some love people.

I will have the rest for you very soon!
