Good morning baby...

This morning I had the opportunity to do photos for the Mitra family. They wanted some family shots as well as photos of their six month old baby for holiday cards to share with their family. She was such a cutie and it was really nice getting to know they whole family. Thank you Archana for having me photograph your family.

a fun & different holiday gift...

Snip, Snip, Shoot...

Today I shot group and individual portraits for the girls of Taglio Salon. When I spoke with DeDe, the owner, she said she wanted to do funky industrial portraits with the girls... I was super excited. Each girl was stunning and stylish. We met at the Montage and shot all around that area. With the unpredictable weather this time of year I figured a safe choice would be somewhere with a covered option so there we were able to use the overpasses as a cover, and it was perfect for industrial backdrops. But we actually lucked out and it stopped raining for the majority of the shoot. The girls were such troopers walking all around in the cold weather, on the rocks and train tracks in their heals. They were awesome and it was super fun to photograph them. Thanks DeDe, and all the Taglio girls, for a fun afternoon... and thanks Sara for all the cuts and colors! :)

Abby's Senior Photos...

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Oregon and a lovely day for a shoot... so, I was very happy to be able to walk around Sherwood, where I live, and take Abby's senior portraits. It was great spending a few hours with her and learning more about her plans after graduation, and photographing her was really fun too. She has blue eyes that sparkle and the sweetest smile, and she fell into great poses so naturally... the whole shoot I was trying to convince her to take up a career in modeling. :) It was also nice to see that just down the street I have some great backdrops for portraits at my disposal.

Between the beautiful weather and the stunning girl, my job was made pretty easy. Here are a few of my favorites so far...
she laughed at my jokes too... which is always a bonus.
