Yup - just like London bus…nothing for 2 weeks then 2 posts in the same day! Here are a couple of recent pin-ups.
First, the lovely Tiffany. She came to me wanting to shoot some Marilyn Monroe inspired portraits, which we did and they look great..not for your eyes yet though! Here is a quick one I caught as she was preparing for a pose:
And here is Mandy. We’ve been working on some concept pin-ups and there are some really cool images coming soon, for now here she is in her Halloween costume! Arrrghhh matey!
A week late, but here are some of my favorites from an awesome wedding at Persimmon’s Country club, and then the party afterwards at La Costita - which just happens to be the groom’s own restaurant!!Their first dance…man - didn’t see that coming….not your average slow song for this couple, these two rocked the house with a banging Latin dance number, including dancing right through the restaurant and back!! Great fun.
!This was another wedding that I shot as an associate photographer for Power’s Studios here in Portland.
Not really a get out of the shot - but this is a fun image from my 2nd photographer from Lysa and Mark’s wedding on Friday! We had a blast wandering around the Pearl District as the sun was going down! Here’s a shot from Cammie (great job Cammie!) and then the shot that I was taking at the time!

Sarita and Jaime - two cool cats getting hitched in August…should be a blast!
Corinne and Spencer! So good, I shot them twice in the same week!! Ok - so having your engagement shoot 2 days before the wedding is a little unusual, but it was a great evening, and I’ve just downloaded my cards from their beautiful wedding today and what an awesome day it was!! Here are a few sneak peaks of the e-session from Thursday, and 2 very quick ones from today…more soon! Best of luck to the happy couple!
If anyone ever asks you if the water flowing from Mt Hood is cold…you can tell them from me that it’s FREEZING!!!
Meet Vicki and Dan. Vicki is a friend of mine from a photo forum, and a fellow photographer. Her and hubby Dan are from Canada and very used being out in the elements. She contacted me a while back to see if I could capture them in a portrait / Trash the dress session when they hit town for a few days….certainly!! I had no idea they’d be this much fun! After an hour or so messing around in my favorite Portland location (abandoned factory) we headed for the Gorge and a waterfall. Both game for a laugh, they got right in there…under the waterfall, and laying down in the freezing waters! I got in there too, up to my knees only though….I had a camera to protect!!
Here are the first few….what an amazing session!!
It’s been a long time in the making, but it was worth the wait! The first batch is back from the printer and ready to be sent to lucky new owners!
If you like what you see, don’t wait for 2009…grab one now and enjoy Cherry in all her 50’s glory for the rest of 2008 too!
The calendar is done. It’s at the printers…on sale next week!!
To keep you going, here are a couple of Cherry from a recent fashion based session:
Wedding photography is hard work on a mild day…today it was hawwwwt! Luckily, I seem to have been gifted a fantastic bunch of clients this year, and today’s couple, Jenica and Bart, continued my fantastic run of wonderful, happy and romantic weddings this summer. Eagle eyed readers will recognise these two from their engagement session earlier in the year. Like many of my couples, they are naturals for the camera, willing to play and have fun, and I had an amazing time being part of their wedding. Here are a couple of faves as they crossed my screen tonight - more soon! Best of luck to Mr and Mrs Bishop!!
Meet the lovely London Andrews. London has spent the last 2 years travelling around America modelling as she goes, and working with photographers she seeks out in every city. I had thought about contacting her to see about shooting when she hit Portland, but since she gets a load of paid work didn’t think she’d be interested in a TFP (Time For Photos) shoot with me. And then she emailed me!! Turns out that she was as much a fan of my work as I was of hers…so we set up a shoot. We had a ton of fun, she’s a true professional! Find out more about here travels here: London Andrews: travelling modelMany of the images may be a bit too hot for this blog, and are destined for my Intimates portfolio which will be launching later in the year. Here are a couple of quick ones for now:
Ashleigh and Liam….a bridal fashion shoot. Why? Fun that’s why!!I’ve worked with both of these guys before and have been wanting to do some edgy fashion based bridal shots for a while in an urban environment, so since they are both awesome looking thought I’d put them together and have some fun. Now…as a professional, I’m not going to divulge the comedy of errors that transpired before we actually got the shoot off the ground (all MY errors..these two were great!) but let’s just say that by the time we actually got some frames off, I was in stress city! We all relaxed and got into it, and the setting couldn’t have been better. More to come as I get to work them, here’s one to show how great they look.
A few weeks after part 1 - but I’ve been busy!! Here is the lovely Catriona rocking a bridal fashion shoot. I even got her to sit right on the train tracks…
Today I had the very great pleasure of capturing Darla and Todd as they tied the knot at the Persimmon Country Club. The day was full of emotion, the couple both looked awesome, the bridal party were quite possibly the most fun crowd I’ve ever had the chance to play with!! I had a truly great time, and it was one of those days when you just love being a wedding photographer and being a part of such occasions. Thanks to all for being good sports and hamming it up for my camera!! This was another of my weddings this year for the Powers Oregon company here in Portland. Here are my first favs as they came down off the cards tonight - more soon….
The spectacular Darla….
Super cool Todd…
Steady aim Darla…!
One of my favorite images…ever…
Mr And Mrs Marshall…
Had a great model session at the studio tonight with the vivacious Christine…This was her first lingerie shoot but she worked it like a star. This shot was at the end of the shoot, and was her idea…she doesn’t smoke!! Looks spectacular, doesn’t she!?
I’m just sitting in my studio backing up tonight’s 2nd session for Cherry’s calendar shoot, and looking through some images we shot at the end - not for the calendar, but for fun. Cherry had quite a bit of eye make-up on, and wanted to have some fun with it…we went sad!! Here’s the first one that popped up, there are tons more to come….awesome session, once again!
