Andy + Sarah's portrait shoot

We met Andy and Sarah earlier this week for their portrait shoot in downtown Portland. We headed up to the fabulous Pittock Mansion to start the shoot. Then we came down Burnside, and walked around the NW neighborhoods in some spots we hadn't shot in yet. These two were really sweet together. We loved that they brought 2 of their favorite comic books for a couple photos at the end. Those were by far some of the funnest shots of the day.

SNEEK PEEK! 2009 Marquis Queen

We photographed the 2009 Marquis Queen crowning today. Not only did we have the pleasure of meeting Tessie Taylor the queen herself as she was crowned, but we also got to meet Katie Harman, Miss America 2002! Yep a real Miss America! Both ladies were stunning inside and out. We had a great day.

Karli + Patrick's engagement

So maybe I'm a little biased, but I'm pretty sure redheads might be the best people to photograph. We met up with Karli and Patrick on Mount Hood this past friday for their engagement shoot. They are both very outdoorsy people and they will be climbing Mount Hood in a couple weeks so it was a fun location for all of us. We hardly say this, but the weather was a little too nice up there for the shoot! It was clear skies which made the snow a giant reflector. It was way too bright up at the top. We did as many photos as we could with the mountain before we found some shade in the trees down the road. All in all, it was a fun shoot and we are looking forward to working with these two again in a short 2 months for their wedding.

Cancun part 2

Here are many more photos from our Mexico adventure this past week. We had so much fun swimming in the gulf, driving around small towns in a rental car, swimming in a fresh water cenote (with fishies!), and climbing to the top of some Myan ruins. We all got sunburned as you will see in some photos. Ouch! Other than that, the trip was perfect! We brought a couple face masks just to remember the swine flu in case you were wondering about those photos.
