Photos by the River

Hannah - Class of 2013

Well, suffice to say by the length of this blog post (25 photos or something like that!) that Miss Hannah is quite photogenic! We met up at Foothills Park in Lake Oswego last weekend for her senior photo session and she totally rocked it! Congratulations on your senior year and enjoy your very long sneak peek! CD will be ready soon :)

Steven Class of 2013

It was a fun late summer afternoon to meet up with Steven and his parents along the Eastbank Esplanade for his senior photo shoot. We had some really nice light that day, I think due to the combination of a thunderstorm coming in and the smoke from the fires across the river in Washington. In any case, we were trying to reflect a little more urban and high tech background than my typical country and naturesque themed shoots so this venue fit the bill nicely! Enjoy your sneak peek; the full album will be up shortly!

Joelle & Darren - Gorgeous Fall Wind Mountain Ranch Wedding

Where do I begin on this one!? I had such a great time at this wedding and working with this couple... the venue, Wind Mountain Ranch, wide open fields with fencing and ponds and fun old props is AMAZING and really tied their whole theme together. I just love this look. The colors, the time of year, the cowboy boots and western-ish feel and THE DRESS. This wedding definitely goes down as one of my favorites this year. I had a great time working with a handful of fabulous vendors to make this event happen. At the helm, keeping everything running oh so smoothly was one of my favorite people, Donna Cole of Pearl and Roses Wedding Planning... as she said, "When the vendors are having as good a time as the guests you know it's a good one!" I had a hard time narrowing down my favorite photos (shocker), so this may come close to tying the Longest Blog Post Ever in Studio 623 Photography History from a little over a year ago (hehe) so pull up a chair, maybe grab a cup of coffee and stay a while!
