begin again + sneak peek {oregon editorial photography}

in , ,

i moved to corvallis when i was 9. i've lived here continuously since i was 15. so i've got over 10 years of history here. my family had planned to make this their settle-down home, but they've all been trickling north the past few years to bellingham and seattle. i'm not going as far north, but i am moving to portland may 1.

may 1??! seems ridiculously soon with all i've got to do.

i'm sad to leave corvallis, and all of the people/places i've met along the way. but it's been so long since i've had such a fresh-start move and i'm really excited to see what comes my way.

and it seems fitting that i should take a mini-vacation before such a big change, to recharge and get ready for the chaos - so i'm off to doe bay with my family to enjoy the hot springs and spend some quality time with them. see you all next week and in the meantime, here's a little preview of a shoot i did this last weekend with a fabulous model, marie.

i had 2 rolls of film from this shoot. i was so excited about them... and BOTH rolls were blank. this has only happened to me once before and that was because the film was loaded backwards (oops, haha). and i know that didn't happen this time. ah, c'est la vie. anyway. here are a few more of carley because she's gorgeous. and wish me better luck next time on my film endeavors.

photo day with megan, one of my most frequent muses. she took a few pictures of me as well. i'm waiting for the film to come back but these are some of my favorite digital ones for now. have a good weekend everyone!

Dennis & Melissa {Portland Wedding Photography}

Dennis & Melissa are a wonderful couple and it was such a joy to be part of their beautiful wedding! Yasmin Khajavi was kind enough to have me along as 2nd shooter. She is so fun to work with! You can see Yasmin's images from the day on her blog.

love the smile in her eyes.

the ceremony was in the wine cellar and had such romantic lighting!

almost time...so much awesomeness going on in this picture. :)

Congratulations, Dennis & Melissa!

these are film scans from late summer (i think. it's been awhile). no editing except for a few changes to black and white. photographed in independence, oregon with a hasselblad 501cm using expired kodak/fujicolor film. i think next time i'll keep better notes on what film i used. ;)

texas | film {personal}

these belong with a previous post. but since i'm bad about labeling my film and having it processed with any sort of regularity, i just found them recently. 2 frames from texas this summer. photographed with seagull twin-lens.
