Hey Ya’ll!
So the spring mini sessions a few weeks back and they were SO FUN! We had a great group of kids and a lovely day of photos.
Here are a couple of my favorites:
I have already been requests for another mini session! I am toying with some dates in late April, so if you are interested let me know and I will get you in the loop!

Last week I had the privilege of being a part of an incredibly fun event. The Luxe Bridal Event in the Pearl was so fabulous! I don’t normally do bridal fairs, but this was killer. Good food, good people, even cocktails! Not your normal stuffy bridal show. During the downtime before we officially started I took a few moments to snap a few photos of my fellow vendors.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Moi! And one of my best girls and often second photographer Maricar Lianne. Our booth was pretty cool if I do say so my self. Recognize anyone in the mural behind us? 
The Party place did all the table & other rentals for the show. Their space was also adorable. Kathy, who did all the pre-planning and on site management of that piece pretty much rocks. 
Check out the lovely Miss Ashley! She is one of the event coordinators of Luxe productions, and did a great job of running the set up of the day. She is also incredibly adorable rocking one of the bridal dresses on hand! 
Are you throwing a vintage inspired wedding? Well then you need to call Marigold rentals asap. They do vintage inspired rentals from large furniture to detailed pieces. These girls have some great style too. 
Right behind my area was Hotel De Luxe, by far my favorite boutique hotel in Portland. I love shooting there! You can check out some of the times I have shot there here & here actually.
I had the pleasure of sharing a corner with the oh so adorable Jennie of Magnifigue Boutique. Man she has some amazing dresses, and is super sweet. 
Also rocking the show was Ryan of Focal Point Media. Ryan is always fun to work with, and does such an amazing job capturing a wedding day. 
Who is that you ask? Just the always lovely Alice of Mosco photo! Clearly we were all excited about the show. 
Also right next to me was Cupcake Jones, I might have had a few tastings, and YUM!
Microbrew media was there showing off some amazing invitations and printed products. 
Rafati’s catering also did an amazing spread. I am not going to lie sharing an isle with them was Delicious!
If you want to see more you can check out my flickr stream here too! It was a great time, I am already looking forward to 2012!

Just over a week ago I headed downtown to meet one of my newest wedding clients. While planning for our session we brainstormed many ideas, but landed on a particular area of downtown Portland. This particular area has the perfect trifecta if you ask me, toys, art & food. Just like the couple I was pointing my camera at, these three things make me smile.
Shawn and Paul are awesome, they were up for anything and fun to hang out with. We had a great time. 
I can not wait to shoot their spring wedding in just a few short months!
Here are a few of my favorites from their session so far:
Shawn & Paul, it was great hanging out with you two! I am so looking forward to capturing your wedding! As all new clients I would love to throw down a blog challenge for you! If you can get 30 people to comment on this blog post, I will throw in an 11×14 print on the house! So leave some love people.

Miranda and I go way back to pizza selling high-school days. She has always been a beautiful, funny, smart girl, so when she contacted me about booking a maternity session I jumped at the chance.
We had a great time catching up, talking about babies, and making some beautiful photos.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
Miranda & James thanks again for your flexibility with scheduling! I am so glad this worked out. I hope your move went well, I can not wait to meet your little lady! I will have the whole gallery very soon.

I will be hanging out with the Luxe Crew at the Luxe Bridal Event tomorrow! It is from 3-9pm in the Pearl District at the Urban Studio. It should be an amazing show, with lots of fun wedding industry people. Some of my favorite vendors will be showing off their wears, designer dresses will in the house, and there will even be cocktails! Come by and see me!
