march 12, 2009: old town with ashlee

Ashlee and I had a portrait session this past Thursday. We were originally supposed to shoot earlier in the week, but the crazy weather we've been having lately (sunshine, snow flurries, rain, and hail--all in one day!) thwarted our plans. However, Thursday turned out to be a much better choice!

This session was a great journey for me, as I found a whole host of new locations in the Old Town/Chinatown area that I'm itching to try! I'm sure they'll make an appearance on the blog sooner or later.

If you're interested, there are more photos from this session here. The set isn't complete yet, but should be in a few days or so.

february 5, 2009: kizzy

Kizzy and I had a portrait session last week, and between editing and battling the flu (which both my husband and I are currently up against!), I completely forgot to update this blog with some of the photos!

More can be found here.

Also, I'd like to introduce you to my new website design! I tried my hardest to create something that I feel represents the nature of my photography accurately. I've asked quite a few people to look it over, and the reviews have been positive.

With that, I'm going to go back to bed and wake up when the flu leaves. I've had to move a session from this week until next, and have a few coming up, so there should be more activity on here in the coming weeks!

february 5, 2009: emily

Emily and I met up downtown for a portrait session--it went fantastically! Not only did we have a great time, I found a dozen more spots to use in the future. I absolutely love this city!!

The blog will be undergoing a few iterations for the next few weeks--I'm trying to create something, and that will include lots and lots of trial and error! The website will remain the same. I'm also talking to someone about designing a logo--HTML I can handle, but logo design? Ayiyi!

january 26, 2009: kanani

Today I had the most amazing portrait session with Kanani, (and her friend, Amy, who popped up in a few photos!)! Portland is brilliant for portraits, as there's so much activity going on in the city. Plus, the sessions give me a great chance to get around to parts of the city I have yet to explore.

I'll update the website with a few of these later today/sometime tomorrow, I just wanted to go ahead and share them with everyone via the blog. This session was such a blast, and I'm loving the results!

january 2, 2009: headshots for Juliet

Juliet emailed me a few days ago and asked if I could take a few quick headshots for her. I was very happy to do so, and Juliet became my first Portland-based session, even if it lasted about fifteen minutes and took place right outside my apartment building!

Here are a few of the before & after shots. I apologize for the small size, but I wanted them to line up next to one another.

I have a portrait session lined up on soon (assuming the weather cooperates), so Sunday and Monday I plan to scout the perfect locations. Portland is full of so many interesting places. I think I'll get my husband to model for me for the day. :)

Until next time,

Stephanie
