George

Yup – he’s finally here! This is George, our new baby. He arrived into the World at 9.28am on Wednesday, weighing in at a very healthy 9lbs! He’s the spitting image of his brother Henry when he was born.

Fantastic news from Portland Pin-Ups!

September 14, 2009

I’ve spent much of the summer structuring my studio, organizing and getting everything ready for a full launch, which is now here! This website was the last piece of the puzzle.

As such, I’ve been able to jig a few things around and reorganize the prices for my pin-up shoots and have brought them in line with my standard portraits – making them much more affordable!!

There has never been a better time to get a pin-up shot, so get in touch with me today to book your session!

Jennifer and Jeff – Portland wedding photography

September 6, 2009

As the summer winds down, so do my weddings. Today was the last of mine for the season – a couple in the Autumn, but I’ve got some time off from weddings now to concentrate on the (very soon) arrival of my new baby in a week or so.

Jennifer and Jeff were my last couple then for the summer, and what a great way to finish! A lively wedding party for sure, great people, great fun and a perfect day!’

Ashley and Ben – Cannon Beach Wedding sneak peak!

August 15, 2009

Wow! What a great day! You may remember Ash and Ben from our recent pin-up themed engagement shoot… Well today they tied the knot out at Cannon Beach, and it was great fun. While messing around getting the shot of these two out by the breaking surf, Ash (after much prompting from me all day long) finally announced: “Eff it, I’m sitting in the sea!!!” and she plonked down into the cold water….I get off 4 shots before the water got too cold and the sun sank below the clouds – a fantastic and impromptu Trash The Dress session!!
