I had such a fun time shooting Dillon’s senior session on Saturday. It was very cold, but we warmed ourselves ducking into coffee shops and candy stores and enjoying the yummy smells while we thawed. Here’s a sneak peek of our session! Enjoy Dillon!!!

Congratulations to Mark and Erin who were wed on Saturday! It was a beautiful day filled with so much love and joy! It was such a pleasure to witness their love and be a part of their day. They were such troopers following me all over the downtown area to get the perfect shots. They even endured the crowds of Oktoberfest! It was quite the spectacle, everyone kept cheering for them as we walked through the crowds. It was really sweet to see the community so happy for this wonderful couple. Here are a few images from the day!

I had a fun shoot with Meg on Friday evening! She’s a very sweet and beautiful girl! We met at one of my favorite spots, the downtown area of Bend! We started out taking a few shots in nearby Drake Park to get a few fun sunflare shots by the river, then we moved to the fun alleys of the downtown area. So much fun! Here’s a sneak peek of our session!

And some of my FAVORITE pictures of the day… (I always save the best for last, haha)… The bride and groom opted to do a “First Look” before the wedding ceremony. I absolutely LOVED this idea. We were able to usher the rest of the wedding party and family away to Aspen Hall while the bride and groom met on the bridge to have a moment alone to steal their first glances before the ceremony. It was so sweet, I got totally choked up and teary eyed! Here are a few of my favorite shots from the moment….

I love pictures taken from behind. There’s something about them that feels like you’re peeking into someone’s life and capturing a moment in time. I also absolutely love black & white photography, especially with grain. When I processed this picture I just had to stop and stare at it for a while. It’s one of those moments…

Jadey looking at the ducks

Found this birdhouse the other day when we were out and about. I love the rustic look to it and how it looks against the bark of the tree. I added a little texture in processing to give it an added rustic element. This will go into my nature collection as well.
