Saint Cupcake part 2

Here are some more of our favorite shots for a project we are working on with Saint Cupcake here in Portland. Let us know what you think!

Saint Cupcake part 1

We have been working the last month with a local and very successful company called Saint Cupcake (saintcupcake.com). We met them through a photo shoot we did in their store a couple months back and we were beyond excited when they asked us to work with them to photograph their products as they expand and grow their business. Enjoy some more samples of what we have been up to. More to come!!

FREE VALENTINE'S PHOTO SHOOT!

Josh and I got to talking and we came up with the idea of doing a free Valentine's Day shoot! Due to the rainy cold weather, we haven't been able to get out as much and photograph so we wanted to give away a free photo shoot to the most deserving couple. The photo shoot will be on this coming Wednesday the 13th (not quite Valentine's Day) but we will still have a fun shoot!

Here are some of the criteria:
1. Can't be past or present clients.
2. Need to be a couple. Doesn't mean you have to be married or even engaged, just a couple! Oh, and you can be married as well... or engaged, or about to be engaged... whatever! We just need there to be lotsa love between you both!
3. Be willing to work in cold weather. It hasn't been the warmest lately, so we may be working out in some 30-degree drizzly Portland weather.
4. Be fun, creative, down for whatever, silly, loving (with eachother of course).
Thats about all we can think of for now!

Also, feel free to attach a photo of you to the email. The chosen couple gets a free 1-hour photo shoot with us, 3 - 5x7 prints and one 8x10 print from the session. We will decide on a winner by Monday and we hope to get tons of emails! Pass on the info to all of your friends!

NEW BUSINESS PHONE!

This goes out to all past, present and future clients! We just changed our business phone number to be a Portland number. The business started down in Corvallis over 3 years ago so I never wanted to change the number even though we have been in Portland for almost 2 years now. In order to let people know we are living in and based out of Portland, I decided to take a jump and change our number. I had the old one for almost five years so it is sad to say goodbye to it.

my new do!

I decided to get myself a new haircut today. I normally leave more hair... this time it is short! I love it. And thankfully so does Josh. He did a mini photo shoot with me today and I liked the results. (Thanks Josh!!)

Emma & Maggie part II

We did a photo shoot with Emma & Maggie back in late November. The initial reason for the shoot was to capture the twins as the little princesses they are. They love their princess costumes and those moments are what define these girls at their age. During the first photo shoot, the costumes never made it! Their parents searched high and low and could not find the treasured costumes for the photo shoot. We still had fun and captured great moments.

A couple days later, I received a call from their mom saying she found the costumes! She also said how bummed they were that they didn't get to capture the girls the way they originally planned. We went undercover and kept the second photo shoot from the dad so that the mom could surprise him at Christmas with the princess photos. Therefore when we first posted photos of Emma & Maggie we didn't include any from the second shoot. Well... two months later and here are some of our favorites along with a link to the slideshow. We had a great time and it was great to see the little princess costumes that we heard about for weeks.

Enjoy!

I don't want to reveal too much right now but these are some test shoots we did this week. I just had to share... they taste as good as they look! mmmm!

Kyle's senior year photo shoot

We went out on the town with Kyle this past Sunday. Man it turned out to be a beautiful day! We walked around downtown discovering some cool new spots for photos. Then we headed across the Steel Bridge and that is always a great spot as long as you can dodge all the bikers riding by. At the end of the shoot we photographed Kyle on his long board and I think we pictured him out! It was fun getting to know him and his mom for the day.

Enjoy some of our favorites from the day along with a link to the slideshow on our website. (let us know what you think - leave us comments!)

Tetris

As I asked Josh if I could post this he responded perfectly by saying "Of course, it is your favorite game after all..." So true! I have loved Tetris since I got my first gameboy back when I was 8. I saw this video on my friend Hollye's blog and stole it for our own blog. I hope all of you can enjoy it as much as I do. Gotta love the classics!

Josh's Blog

We have decided to start sharing more on our blog here. We want to post more than just wedding and engagement photos. We want to share our personal work and more about our day to day lives. I want to share Josh's work with everyone. He is such an amazing photographer and has such beautiful visions that he is able to capture. Believe it or not, our working style is almost opposite. We function completely different in how we think and execute art. With that said, Josh has been able to teach me and help me to grow as an artist through working beside him. I am so thankful he is who he is and for all he bring to my life.

I started this business without Josh but he joined about a year in and added the heart and soul to all that is now "Honeysuckle Photography" With his help and talent we have far exceeded the goals I originally had for the business.

Anyways... check out this beautiful photo he took a couple months back at the Oregon Coast. I love everything about it. Also, check out his personal photography blog.

Will's senior shoot

This past week, we got to hang out with Will for a couple hours in Portland. It hasn't been too cold this winter, but the day of the shoot, it was in the 30s!! I know I was freezing my butt off the whole time, but Will was tough and didn't even act cold the entire time. Will graduates this Spring and will be heading down to Corvallis to attend OSU. Josh and I lived there for 5 years while we were both going to school. I am partial to the Beavs myself so it was cool to see Will show up with an OSU hoodie on.

We would love to do some more senior portrait shoots this winter so please spread the word and contact us if you or someone you know needs them. We love doing them!
