We have moved!

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:42:48 +0000

After three years at our store front location in Tualatin, we have decided not to renew our lease. Instead, we have been remodeling our home and have created a fabulous client meeting room there! We are only about two minutes away from our storefront location in Tualatin. We are super excited about our move ‘back home’. We shoot 95% of our session on location, so it just wasn’t making sense to continue with a studio shooting space which we rarely used. We still offer all the same services with the exception of our in studio work. We can still create “studio look” portraits, especially for our business headshot clients with our portable studio and background setup.

We were officially moved out last weekend and are finishing up our remodel. We are having new landscaping put in this week and next, which we are really excited about! The only one who isn’t too excited is Poopsie, who can’t figure out what is going on. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to our new space over the coming months. I will be posting pictures as soon as everything is finished.

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:15:06 +0000

We shot Kathryn & Eric’s wedding last April at the Mormon Temple, and the reception at Oswego Lake Country Club. Apart from a brief downpour of rain, it was a perfect day! The sun (mostly!) shone, and the spring flowers were all in bloom. Kathryn looked gorgeous in an ivory lace gown, with flowers by Crystal Lilies. Susie and her crew at the country club did a fabulous job. We went out on the course as the sun was going down and got some shots beautiful shots. Their wedding cake (yum!) was by Dream Cakes and Lynn with Celebration Music kept the party going until the end. Hope you guys have a great honeymoon!!

We love beach weddings! We shot Jing and Mo’s beautiful wedding on the beach at the Surf Sand in Cannon Beach last August. Haystack Rock makes such a fabulous backdrop for a wedding! Jing was a truly stunning bride in her Jim Helm gown. The weather cooperated the whole day too, even through the evening reception at the Haystack Gardens. T he Wayfarer Restaurant provided the catering, which was not only delicious, but beautifully presented. Their wedding cake covered with aqua icing which was a unique touch. Here are some of our favorites from the day…

Ben & Cassy’s Honeymoon Shoot in Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Mexico

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:29:11 +0000

At the beginning of October we shot Ben and Cassy’s wedding in McMinnville, OR. The next weekend we headed to Playa del Carmen, Mexico to shoot Roxy & Dan’s wedding. It worked out perfectly as Ben & Cassy were honeymooning in Cancun, about 45 minutes north of Playa! We arranged to do a “honeymoon shoot” while we were there. Other than the fact that is was insanely hot and humid, we had a great time. There are so many cool walls and buildings to shoot against! We walked down Fifth Avenue then headed to the beach. Here are some of our favorites from the shoot…

Marissa & Zach’s Wedding at St. Mary Magdalene Church and Riverside Golf & Country Club, Portland Oregon

admin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:24:58 +0000

On June 6th we shot Marissa & Zach’s wedding at St. Mary Magdalene Church with their reception at Riverside Golf & Country Club. We started the day at the Jansen Beach Residence and Fairfield Inns for the getting ready shots. Marissa looked amazing in her Justin Alexander gown and retro veil. We went to St. John’s Park to get some romantic shots of the two of them then headed to the church. Jordan from Blum Floral Design created the fabulous bouquets, church and reception flowers. It was the first time we had been to Riverside Country Club and it was gorgeous! The food was SO good and the service was stellar. Beaverton Bakery created her cake with green beads, the first time I have seen beads used like that on a wedding cake. There was plenty of dancing to a live band, headed by Marissa’s uncle, and even 96yr old grandma got down and danced the night away!

Aveda & Dosha Beehive Fashion Shoot for Willamette Weekly

admin — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 06:34:23 +0000

We had a fabulous time today shooting Jennifer and Khirsten, two GORGEOUS models from the Aveda Institute and Dosha Salon. We set up the shoot for Kimberly, the director for Aveda, who needed some fashion shots to submit to Willamette Weekly for their best beehive contest. How can they lose with looks like these?! Judy was the amazing stylist who created both do’s. The girl’s makeup was done by Stephanie, who is truly an artist!

I couldn’t decide between the color and b&w versions to post, so you have them all. Enjoy!!

Kim & Matt’s Wedding, Resort at the Mountain, Welches Oregon

admin — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 06:24:42 +0000

We shot Kim & Matt’s wedding last weekend at The Resort at the Mountain in Welches, Oregon. It was the perfect day for an outdoor wedding and reception in the tent! Kim wore a strapless ivory lace gown and Chelsea from Event Cosmetics did a fabulous job enhancing an already gorgeous bride! Lora from Lora’s Floral in Gresham create beautiful hand tied bouquets in orange tones, which looked great against the girls teal bridesmaids dresses. They wore matching orange heels which were hot! Melissa from Sweet Cakes created the wedding cake, who we, as cake connoisseurs, have to tell you is one of the greatest bakers in Portland!

The Resort at the Mountain has completely remodeled the lobby and all of the guest rooms since we were there last. We cleared off the check in desk, and had Kim hopped up there for a few shots. One thing that hasn’t changed at the Resort though is that food and service were outstanding as always.

Hope you guys are having a great time in Cabo!!
