Marathon

So I have been trying to blog weekly, if not bi-weekly this summer. I believe I succeeded most months, but for some reason the past couple of weeks I've been hard pressed to find the time. Of course, I run both this blog AND my Lavenda Seniors blog. So that's double blogging duty. Yep.

Things have been really good as far as business goes. I've been booking lots of weddings and engagement shoots, as well as headshots and model book updates. I'm always so excited to get to know the folks who gravitate towards my work. Here's a couple shots of new model, Brian Seward, who after booking his shoot- realized we are old school mates:




On a personal note, my brother came into town for the weekend to run the Portland marathon. He and his friends crashed here and then we all went to see him finish the race on Sunday. Here are some shots of him getting ready, killing a stink bug for me the night before and then all of us at the race the next day:

Wedding: Leah and Brandon

Congrast Leah and Brandon on your new marriage!
With only 5 hours booked for this West Linn Wedding, my assistant and I were hustling across the grounds to get the good shots. Their gorgeous venue included a ceremonial gazebo and mini waterfalls, plus a beautiful historic house for prep.
My favorite part was during the reception when they turned on some colorful disco lights. It created a really sweet, nostalgic mood.

Spent a couple hours in the Pearl with Kristi this weekend. Her agency is looking for some commercial shots to update her portfolio. I wanted to give it a twist, so we made sure to modernize her wardrobe and take advantage of Pearl's urban-scapes.

Thanks Christine Marie for fabulous work on makeup.
