I have an engagement session with a Vancouver couple who is getting married this summer in Yachats, Oregon, at the Yachats Inn.  They are having a beach wedding right on the sand!  We are doing engagement portraits on the Discovery Trail in Washington.  Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Next, I am really excited to be asked to design a wedding album for a couple who got married a couple years back.  Their photographer is unable to design the album, and she saw my post below.  I also can’t wait to show my new albums to a client for the first time.

On to the business/ lifestyle portrait.  It is for my hubby.  He has been asking me for months to do photographs for him, and I finally decided to schedule him in as a client.  Otherwise all he gets is  adorable shots of him with our daughter, which doesn’t really work for his blog, or resume.

Hopefully I can squeeze in some self portraits too.  The images on my home and about pages are from summer, definitely time to update!

Check out the details on their website.

Portland Mercury Charity Auction

Visit my portfolio site to see some of my engagement photography. You will get to choose a location within the Portland area and I will spend an hour or two capturing images of you and your fiance. My style is candid and relaxed. You can chase each other around a tree or whisper and kiss. I’ll photograph you as you are, and then spend two to three hours in my office creatively editing the shoot.

Normally, an engagement session lets you choose your favorite two images to receive on high resolution cd. For the winner of this contest, you will get 20-30 images, with personal copyright to make as many prints as you like, or to use in your guest book or wedding invitations.

My donation is only a small part of the prize. Three days left to bid! The auction is over, and the wedding package that my engagement session is part of earned $605, donated to charity!

Julia was the winner of my Engagement Session contest last month. Her and her fiance, Brian, are getting married next summer.

We had a fun shoot downtown, on an overcast chilly morning. Thanks Julia for suggesting such an awesome location!
