And the Key Speaker him self, civil rights icon Ambassador Andrew Young. He was so amazing. It was of those events where I had to remind my self to shoot. I was so struck by his words on Dr. King and the world we are living in today.

It was an amazing event, and I felt honored to capture it for the Multicultural Center & University. Thanks again to the staff members for giving me a call. I will have the entire set done very soon.

Mark + Steph = Simply Adorable. Oregon Wedding Photographer

This last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Mark and Stephanie to do some engagement photos. We met at the east side Portland waterfront. They are so cute and bubbly, I wanted to contrast that with some fun urban settings. As you can see these two are so in love, and fun together. I had a great time, and I can not wait to shoot their wedding!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Double Trouble {Portland Oregon Photograher}

This last weekend I had the pleasure of shooting twin sisters. Ashley and Nicole are graduating high school soon and wanted to capture some fun images to commemorate this important year. I always have fun on senior sessions, but Ashley & Nicole kept me cracking up the entire time we were shooting.  Something about sisters, they always know how to keep each other laughing.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

pair-bw

Such pretty ladies.

Nicole has such a great natural smile.

peek-17
I love Ashley’s eyes here, they sparkly through her glasses.

jump-shoes

And of course we HAD to jump! I love that they were both sporting the converse too, my favorite.

Check out the rad yellow wall we found too.

peek-132

See you think she is throwing me a nice smile here, really I think she is just laughing at her sister. I am telling you sister/sister sessions are the best. When you live with someone for 17 or 18 years you know how to crack them up.

Ash & Cole thanks so much for hanging out with me, and being up for anything. I will have the rest of the set for you very soon!
