Courtney & Mark (+ Quincey)

I've known of Courtney Jade for a long time, but I was so excited to finally meet her at her and Mark's photo session. Courtney is a fantastic photographer and graphic designer. You can see her work at her photography website by clicking here, and of course, because she's a graphic designer she has gorgeous design and branding. Courtney and Mark were both so awesome and so much fun at their session. They were both really laid back and I was inspired by them because they were both so humble and kind. We decided to have the session at a U-pick apple orchard, because orchards are so beautiful, and Mark also really likes apples. Marquam Meadows Fruit Company was kind enough to let us use their orchard even though they weren't open! Thank you so much you guys! Courtney and Mark also brought along their dog Quincey, which added some fun flare to the session, as did all of the awesome props they brought.

Courtney and Mark, thank you so so much for hiring me to take your photos. It was so great to finally meet you both and I'm really glad for the time we had to hang out. I hope everyone had a great Wednesday today!

Ceara

For Ceara's senior session, we headed to Cooper Mountain Nature Reserve a gorgeous area right outside of Beaverton. We got a perfect Oregon fall day and I had a great time hanging out with Ceara. A couple of stories from this session: When I had Ceara sit on the log, right after she stood up, a giant snake slithered out from under the logs bark! Even after this Ceara was still adventurous and willing to tromp around for the remainder of the session (thanks Ceara!). We walked a loop at the nature reserve that I thought was a lot shorter than it actually was (woops!), but Ceara and her mom were both so kind and enjoyed the hike with me (thanks guys!).

Ceara, thanks so much for having me take your senior photos! I had so much fun at your session and thanks for being so adventurous! I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their Tuesday!

Jamie & James

I was really excited for Jamie and James' wedding, I knew it was going to be awesome. The both live on the east coast, so I met up with them a few days before their wedding. They were both so laid back and kind that I knew their wedding day would be great, as it most definitely was. They had their wedding at the West End Theater in southwest Portland. I loved watching Jamie and James' on their wedding day. They did an awesome job of spending time with all of their guests, while also taking the time for some beautiful moments between the two of them. In those moments I saw the intimate joy that they share with one another and had a great time capturing it.

Jamie and James, thank you so much for hiring us to shoot your wedding. We had such a wonderful time spending the day with you two and wish you all the best back on the east coast.

Happy Friday everyone! Leah and I are headed out of town to spend time with family and take Wellington to visit his Grandparents. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
