Several weeks ago, Erica and I ventured to Waterfront Park to see the cherry blossoms in bloom. Erica is so sweet and feminine that she fit perfectly into the soft pink backdrop we picked for her. She even brought along a handmade flower crown, made by a friend, to add detail to her shoot. I may be biased, but I just adore every one of these images!! Styled shoots are my absolute favorite and Erica did a fantastic job pulling together all the different elements for her session. Erica, you are beautiful inside and out. Thanks for letting me photograph you! :)
Kaisha - Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden Portrait Photography
So I basically love this girl. One of the best parts about my job, is when photo shoots turn into friendships. Not only is Kaisha absolutely beautiful, but she's adorable and fun, sweet and kind, and off her rocker funny. She's the type of girl you could spend every afternoon with, laughing until you cry, and just plain enjoying life with. We met by chance, hit it off immediately, became fast friends, and have been nearly inseparable ever since. It was like discovering a best friend I didn't know I had. A friendship I am truly grateful to now have.
Here are some photos from our session a couple weeks ago at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden.
Fun fact about Kaisha: She's a photographer too!! Go check out her lifestyle photography at klisbethphotography.squarespace.com
Ben & Lauren - Engagement Photography - Hoyt Arboretum
Nothing beats spending the day photographing a beautiful couple surrounded by lush Portland greenery! Lauren and Ben met up with me at Hoyt Arboretum which, as we soon realized, was much larger than we all thought. It took us about 15 minutes of searching just to find each other amidst its large array of trails and walkways. But, once we came together it couldn't have gone more splendid. We explored a few walking trails and captured photos of their love along the way. The once-puffy clouds began to sprinkle half way though our session, but it didn't faze them one bit. They just ran to the car and whipped out their yellow ducky umbrella to save the day until it passed; which, only resulted in even more sweet engagement photos of them underneath an adorable umbrella.
Congratulations on your engagement Ben & Lauren! I can't wait to photograph your wedding later this summer! :)
