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'.

Silliness

I did some business portraits for the lovely ladies of The Brouse Group this morning...and what do you do when you have lighting and a backdrop all set up? Yes, that is correct, you take silly photos of yourself..and possibly your cat and boyfriend.

What a jackass!

Saturday! ...and I didn't shoot anything. But, but, butt...I did dig up this file. And that about explains it. Happy Saturday everyone! Fresh photos tomorrow.

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.

Generations

Today I had to do production all day, so sue me. So, I am posting wedding images from my favorite Iowa couple's wedding: Sarah and Bob. Such a great time and wonderful family, these images of Sarah and her grandpa are some of my faves. It makes me smile every time I see these pictures. So sweet. I miss you guys so much! I think it's safe to say an Iowa trip is in our future travel plans..

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!

What am I?

One of my ongoing projects is shooting the patterns in raw fruits/vegetables. I thought this was very pretty and dainty and would possibly like some wallpaper made out of it. The design, not the actual vegetable. Can you guess what it is?
