Portland Wedding Album Photographer } Album Love

nimda — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:42:44 +0000

I got a little note from one of my brides that was so sweet I wanted share it here. She recently received her wedding album and she writes:

It is W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!
I couldn’t be more in love with it, the layouts, the pics and the book are all just so beautiful.
The paper lining is dreamy.

You have a great talent, thank you so much for being a part of the day and creating my dream wedding album!

I love experiencing those tender emotions with the bride on her day and again when telling her story in the album. It’s just such fun when brides love their albums as much as I love creating them for generations to cherish!

I am always drawn to a newborn’s eyes. They are always so wise, clear and untarnished. Fresh, little eyes that have never seen anything but love and sacrifice on their behalf. I wonder what other things their eyes may have beheld and what they will witness in the future.

A couple months ago I had the opportunity of attending a beach workshop with some colleagues of mine. Kelly, from Capture Photography was sweet enough to pose for us as a vintage bride. We had no idea at the time that our blushing bride model would be engaged before the year was out! Both stunning and photogenic, Kelly will make a beautiful bride at her upcoming nuptials this season! Congratulations Kelly!

Little Boys

Author Unknown

God made the world out of His dreams

Of magic mountains, oceans and streams,

Prairies and plans and wooded land,

Then paused and thought “I need someone to stand

On top of mountains, to conquer the seas,

Explore the plains and climb the trees.

Someone to start out small and to grow,

Sturdy, strong as a tree…” And so,

He created boys, full of spirit and fun,

To explore and conquer, to romp and run.

With dirty faces and banged up chins,

With courageous hearts and boyish grins.

When He had completed the task He’d begun

He surely said “A job well done.”

Editorial Style Senior Portraits } Spontaneous

Taylor really wanted her senior portraits to feature some antique bicycles. While we didn’t find bikes, we did find some really charming antiques that brought a lot of contrast to this shoot! We tucked into old chicken coops, and searched old sheds to create some really moody images. Taylor was flawless and totally up for my crazy ideas, the perfect model in every way. She even made friends with a farm cat, which was a magical photographic dream come true for me! Thanks Taylor!

Editorial Style Senior Portraits } The face of an angel

nimda — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:54:33 +0000

This whole session I just could not get enough of this angel face! At one moment Dominique’s mother expressed to me the joy her daughter has brought to her, how she is the perfect child. Glimpses of this girls tender personality have charmed every encounter I have had with her. She is filled with generosity and kindness. Dominique is a French name, it means, with God. For this girl, a name most fitting.

Portland Lifestyle Photographer } Nice to Meet Ya

nimda — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:00:27 +0000

There is something sweet about meeting a brand new baby. It is particularly sweet when it’s his first day here. I had the opportunity of photographing this little buddie’s big sister when she was only a year old. At the time she loved to shake your hand and say, “nice to meet ya!” It was something I made a point of capturing. Now this dear little family has met someone new and he is more than just nice, he is perfect.
