My good friend, Missy, of Take 5 Photography, and I got together and schemed up a small styled senior portrait session. We wanted to do something fun and for our own creative outlet. Our high school senior models, Hayley and Natalie, were fantastic. Absolutely gorgeous girls too. Wow!

And…here is what I came up with. Link to Missy’s photos from the session coming soon : )

COLIN 9 MOS | PORTLAND BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

Katie — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:44:19 +0000

Little Colin is 9 months old now. He just keeps getting cuter too! We wanted this session to embody some spirit of Portland because they are moving back to the midwest! Boo for us, but good news for their family back home. We had fun on what turned out to be a gorgeous summer morning her in Portland. Most of our time was spent down at the East Esplanade. The firemen even let Colin strike a pose with the big fire truck, so cute!

PAT & ALLISON | PORTLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Katie — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 07:10:47 +0000

If you’re viewing this blog because Pat and Allison are your loved ones, consider yourself one lucky person. What an outstanding pair to have in your circle of friends or family! I know we felt lucky meeting them, producing their engagement photographs, and now documenting their gorgeous wedding. As we walked from location to location at Abiqua Country Estate, we could both see and hear from them what thoughtful sentiment had been wrapped into each detail of the ceremony and reception. The results speak for themselves. Cool people are usually surrounded by an equally cool network of loved ones, and so it was in Allison and Pat’s case. Even though you can’t see me behind the lens, I think you’ll see what a great time we had.

Congratulations, Pat and Allison!

And one of my honey. He was so happy that Allison and Pat got married. Well, really he just wanted this “cool” picture : )

WYATT | PORTLAND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Katie — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:36:00 +0000

Welcome baby Wyatt! It is always so fun to take newborn photos when I have already taken maternity photos for the family. These photographs of Wyatt were taken at just 7 days old, the most perfect time for newborn photos. He was a great baby for me! Sleeping, eating, and sleeping some more : ) Congratulations, Nick and Alicia!

BABY “T” | PORTLAND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Katie — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:18:59 +0000

I love chubby babies! And this little guy was not so little when he arrived: 11 pounds! He is their fourth addition, and his three siblings couldn’t be happier to have him here. Congratulations!

KRAIG + HEATHER | LAKE TAHOE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Katie — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 05:42:45 +0000

Greg and I were very privileged to be asked to photograph my very good friend Rachel‘s sister’s wedding in Lake Tahoe. Rachel and I went to interior design school together, and she, too, has branched off and started her own wedding and event planning business, Klink! which has really taken off this summer. She was so organized that I really didn’t bother to worry about much for this wedding other than making sure Greg and I had a place to lay our heads when we got there : ) Rachel planned and designed this wedding to perfection! Kraig and Heather’s ceremony and reception took place at The Lodge, a beautiful golf and country club in the mountside of the lake. It was secluded and quiet on a gorgeous day. There were roses and lavender everywhere. The soft purples and navy blue made a cool summer palette that was refreshing! Check out the most stunning welcoming table that displayed name plates and favors of chocolate truffles and lavender essential oil for their guests. You’ll notice, too, that the children were not forgotten! Lots of games and entertainment were planned for them. These two were so wonderful and kind to us–their whole family was–which just makes me love my job, and it’s a joy to give people images with which they can cherish and remember their wedding day forever.

Congratulations Kraig and Heather! xoxo, Katie and Greg

Rachel’s most darling son, Liam! Do you remember him from here and here? I love these next two! Pure emotion shining through. Isn’t this table amazing?! Kraig’s son played the opening song for the reception. His grandmother watches proudly. And the dancing began!

SIERRA | PORTLAND CHILDREN’S PHOTOGRAPHER

Katie — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 04:05:47 +0000

My niece turned 2 this April! These photos were a little late, but all good things come with time, right? : ) These photos just crack me up. She has two older brothers that shape so much of her firey personality. She learned to “wink” at a Very early age and now when you tell her to “smile!” you also get her signature move! These were taken in and around the rose garden at Bush Park in Salem, OR.

RYAN & JENNY | ENGAGED!

Katie — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 15:30:27 +0000

You can see for yourself: this couple is smokin’! What you’ll see when you meet them is that they’re also generous, clever, and delightful company to be around. We met up with Ryan and Jenny on Portland’s NW 21^st street before settling at the Bybee-Howell property on Sauvie Island. Although their wedding is this fall, the July sun was perfect for showing off this couple’s summer love. Look forward to their September wedding portraits and the official kick-off to a life-long romance!

JAMES & MORGAN | OLYMPIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Katie — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:30:45 +0000

Morgan and James were married at Walter Dacon Winery on a beautiful summer day a little over 2 weeks ago. This was a special wedding for me because the bride is a dear friend of my sisters. Morgan has been such a good friend to her through good and bad, she is the definition of a true friend, and for that I love her. My sis and her husband flew out from Ohio for the wedding. So it was fun photographing a wedding that she was a bridesmaid in!

Morgan and James make the perfect match. They share the unique love of diving and certainly know how to have fun together. The wedding was intimate and beautiful. Tashana, with Tahana Klonius Designs, coordinated and designed many parts of the wedding. The colors were rich, warm, jewel tones and the tables at the reception were gorgeous! The succulent favors were such a great idea. I like gifts you can plant. That is what we did for our wedding favors…daisy seeds to all guests for them to plant. And then there were the kilts! Yes, the kilts. Love it. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Congratulations you two! Much Love, Katie
