Kelly and Mike engagement shoot in Portland!

I was at a nearby park today taking some photos for a girl I’ve known forever! She has two BEAUTIFUL sons, and they were a ton of fun to shoot. :) Lahndyn was the oldest, and loved to play with his hot wheels (who can blame him though- they’re hot wheels!), and Jaxson is the baby. He was so precious! It was some of the most fun I’ve had during a photo shoot.

This is Eliza- my love of almost 13 years! She’s mostly just a grumpy old lady, but I still like her anyway. :)

Fourth of July!

I was so excited to spend this Fourth of July with my dad, boyfriend and step family! It was tons of fun, and there was a lot of food. (i.e. my dad made 3 different pies…) But there were plenty of opportunities to take photos of a couple of seriously cute members of said step family. :)

Needless to say, it was a great day!

Just a couple photos from a trash the dress shoot!

Last Thursday in Portland!

So, my boyfriend, Ben, and I decided it was finally nice enough weather outside to wander down to Last Thursday here in Portland. If you don’t know what it is, it’s a giant, unorganized street fair that is both fun and really crazy, and it occurs on the last Thursday of each month. Hence the name. There were quite a few musicians, a VERY cute kid selling lemonade (comes with a lucky penny!), and free pizza. I was not feeling brave enough to get free pizza from a stranger, but I did buy an ice cream cupcake from a cart selling them. DELICIOUS. I may start coming more often if those cupcakes are there…

note: these were taken for fun, and while I was walking around. Please forgive the less-than-perfect photos.
