Another beautiful June wedding

On June 20th I shot a wedding with Megan & Taylor Finley, they are a great couple and it was obvious how much they loved each other throughout the day...
It was such a fun group and we had a lot of time before the ceremony so we were able to do lots of different group shots. Some of my favorites to date...
The ceremony took place at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and it was beautiful...


The ceremony took place at the Forestry Center. The evening had the perfect mix of fun and emotion. And despite the off and on drops of rain, it was a perfect day...

Lindsay & Chris

On June 6th I shot a wedding with Lindsay & Chris. It took place at the Adrianna Ballroom, which is a beautiful location and she was a very beautiful bride... and luckily we ended up with beautiful weather, despite the thunder storm the day before. :) Plus I got to shoot alongside my future hubby who was the videographer which made it even more fun. This was the 2nd wedding we shot together, the first was the day we met. :) Overall it was just a great day...here are some of my favorite shots...

Brandee & Erik engagement photos...

Yesterday I met up with Brandee & Erik for an engagement shoot. We had a lot of fun shooting around OMSI with the awesome city scape backdrop. Then we went over and got a few more shots at the rhododendron gardens, where they will be getting married in September of 2010. They are a really fun couple and I hope to get to work with them again in the future...

Julianna & Jeremy

Julie & Jeremy kicked off the wedding season for me. They are such a great couple and their friends and family were so much fun as well. From the pre ceremony game planning with the guys to the hilariously decorated getaway car at the end, the night was full of laughter and love.

Miller family portrait...

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to do photos for the Millers. When Broden, their oldest son, was on the way I did maternity photos for Deb and then we met up to do family portraits in Portland about a year ago. And I was lucky enough to get to photograph them again now that their 2nd son Camden arrived. This time I went to their home in Scappoose...

I love shooting at people's homes because they can relax and be comfortable, but also it gives the opportunity to learn more about them and sometimes allows for more unexpected photo opportunities... Broden loved playing inside his Dad's truck...I had a great time photographing Camden. Babies are so fascinating and I love how so much personality shows through, even when they are only weeks old. Camden had such curious eyes and was such a thinker. :)

Jenna arrives

My 3rd niece arrived at 10:30am on March 23rd, 2009. I had the amazing privaledge of capturing her first moments of life. I was able to do this for my niece Makena's birth as well, and there is absolutley no comparison to that amazing experience.



Being there was incredible for me, and the images I was able to capture for my brother and sister-in-law had a huge impact on them and made it possible to almost relive the experience. Seeing the joy it brought to them inspired me to offer this service to other expecting parents. It is such an incredible time and to have those emotions captured is a wonderful thing. I am hoping to provide this service for more couples with my new Miracle of Life package. :) It includes a maternity shoot, delivery shoot, and newborn shoot. if you are interested please let me know. I would love the opportunity! www.elleimagesphoto.com

I truly must have the best job on earth. To be able to experience these incredible days with people is more than I could have ever hoped for. :)
