Trevor & Jamie | Wedding

Trevor and Jamie were married on the hottest day in the history of Portland. Okay…maybe not, but it kinda felt like it. Jamie’s Dad had a theory why it was so hot - he says that Jamie was born on the coldest day of the year, so it all had to balance out. I like that theory.

In spite of the heat wave, it was so great to see Trevor and Jamie again. It was the third time that we’ve worked together this year - we met up last December for their engagement session and then again in January for Jamie’s bridal session.

The ceremony and reception were held at Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro, a beautiful family estate surrounded by vineyards and gardens, and as the sun went down it was the perfect setting for a summer’s night party.

Here are some of my favorites…

Photograph of the Month

This is from Chris and Amy’s engagement session a while back (scroll down or click here to see images from their wedding). Things have been so busy lately that I haven’t had a chance to post this session, but I couldn’t resist putting up this one. Not your typical “engagement” shot, but I really like how it turned out…

Dylan | 6 months

Yesterday afternoon I got to hang out with little Dylan and his mommy again. I hadn’t seen them since our Newborn and Maternity sessions this last winter, and Dylan has grown so much (check out those cheeks!)…He’s turned into such a jolly little guy and it was fun to hang out and play for the afternoon. A few of my faves:

Photoshoots can be such hard work…

Coming soon…belly!

I’ve been working on a special project lately for a new restaurant opening up in NE Portland on the corner of MLK and Fremont. I’ll post more details as we get closer to the opening, but for now check out some of the images that we created for the website this week:
