Behind the scenes

Last year our friends Patty and Jeff got married. I wasn't the photographer, but I'm just not really comfortable at a wedding anymore without shooting. I'd probably get drunk and crash the party without my camera ;) Here is a behind the scenes: happy couple + photographer Brian Lee + stylist Amanda Needham. I really love this image. It's very real and editorial feeling...and undoubtedly I had a glass of wine in my other hand since I was 'off duty'.

Beauty in All

Boy oh boy, this time of year in the Northwest can be really trying. Nothing but gray and darkness. I was really having a hard time figuring out what to shoot today, then, through the window I spotted our old raggedy, dead Oregano plant that I never trimmed back this fall. There is beauty in everything if you look. I'm glad I'm doing this blog everyday, it's making me look and see a lot more than before. Who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll creatively explore the dead mums in the front yard.

It's a no-snow day

Practically the whole country has gotten snow in the last 24 hours EXCEPT Portland. I, personally love a snow day a snow anything, really. We get nothing except, you guessed it. Rain. And more rain. Freezing rain, cold rain, warm rain, drizzle, sleet, showers, sprinkles, and mud. Boo-hoo, poor me. I think I'll make it though.

In all this doom and gloom I did find something pretty. The little drips and drops on our windows are pretty amazing. They ain't no snowflakes, but it will have to do!
