This wedding was quite different from my past weddings as the bride specifically requested most B&W photographs and absolutely no posed photography. The ceremony and reception where preformed in the most gorgeous home I've seen in the Portland area. It was on the hillside in Camas, WA overlooking the Columbia River. 

Hi faithful readers!

Over the holiday I had the honor of photographing Jenn and Ray in Old Town Chinatown located in downtown LA. It was sunny (cheers from this Portlander!) AND it was full of fun textures and colors. I love having the opportunity to photograph people in locations that are meaningful to them. Ray actually pointed out this alleyway full of laundry and other fun gritty items. I may be a girly-girl, but I love me some reality.

It's hard to believe but today I am planning for Valentines 2012! I'm really excited about this event. We'll have some themed accessories to shoot with (think rose petals, and bright reds and romantic pinks). Everyone who is a part of the Be Mine event Jan through Feb will also enjoy a glass of bubbly, decadent truffles and their choice of accessories to use during their session! I will only be accepting a few sessions per day so let me know what day and time you are interested in by filling out my client form here. Let's give our men what they really want for Valentine's Day!

I photographed the lovely work of AK Cake Design last week. You muse see more of Allison's unique and impeccable work! These flowers are actually sugar flowers-- hand painted, made and arranged. Here work was featured here on the Half Baked Blog.
