Amanda & Jason | Engagement Session | Sheridan, Oregon

Here's a sneak peek of my engagement session yesterday with Amanda & Jason! They are so awesome in every way and I can't wait until their wedding in August. It will take place on a blueberry farm, so I know the photos are going to be GORGEOUS! I'm so excited about how many amazing couples I've had the opportunity to hang out with lately. I've already reached my goal in terms of the number of weddings I was hoping to book this year, which is INCREDIBLE. I can't wait for all of the beautiful photo opportunities ahead of me!!!!

Annie Montgomery - Portland, Oregon

I was so excited when Annie agreed to meet up for a photo shoot. I've been running across photos of her for a while now and I was dying to photograph her. She is such a beautiful, kind person and I am so excited to share these images with you! This shoot was extra exciting because I stumbled across a working polaroid camera and finally got to try the Impossible Project Film for the first time! I honestly didn't think the photos would turn out at all considering the camera hasn't been used in like... 20 years. The photos took about 3 hours to fully develop and since I'm such an impatient person, I pretty much gave up on the idea that they would turn out after about 10 minutes. Butttt... they DID turn out! Yay!

Now I have one more camera to carry around to add to my dorkiness.

I also shot a few rolls of 120 mm film with my Holga and had some fun with double exposures. I'm always so nervous now that my film will get lost/turn out blank, but thank goodness it didn't this time around!

Sorry for the abundance of photos... Hope you like! :)

Kiersten - Senior Portraits

I had such a great time shooting Kiersten's senior portraits. Probably because she is so dang gorgeous & sweet! We decided to shoot at the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg, and I'm so glad we did. The sun was setting, the light was perfect and I always love spending time there. If you live in Lynchburg and you haven't been there, you are seriously missing out. It's beautiful. Anyway! I've known Kiersten's family for a while now and they are all incredible people. I had to take a few photos of Kiersten and her mom, Debby, together because they have such a cute relationship. And because, once again, they are both gorgeous!
