Catching up...

I've been upstate, out of state, clear on the other side of the state and sick all within the last two weeks so haven't had much time to update here while I've been catching up on other things... But today's the day! Actually yesterday was supposed to be the day but the internet quit working as I was about to post...

I shot Claire's senior pics right before I left for a bunch of traveling - It was the day that the rainstorm was on its way in, so it was really dark out and super windy - Not really ideal for any person with long hair! We're going to shoot again soon on a calmer day but here are two that I like from what we did get:

She was completely unprepared for this one but I really like it



And here she is doing her best to manage the whole "windblown look" :)



That weekend I left with my friend Ben for a whirlwind roadtrip down to southern California, where we visited our friend Sarah who moved down there after college to work as a nuclear engineer. That's how Ben met her, he was a nuclear engineering major at Oregon State as well... Here's a shot of us at Disneyland, I'm the one that doesn't look as smart as the other two -



I got back from that trip and had one day at home before leaving again. I shot Lindsay's senior pics on that day, we had been rained out right before I left... I really like the rain but not when it messes everybody's schedules up!

Lindsay was great to shoot, I love the outfits she brought. Here are two from her session:





The next day I left for La Grande to shoot Paige and Jake's wedding. That one was a ton of fun, I went to school with Paige so there were quite a few people I knew there from Harrisburg.

This is the only wedding I've shot all summer where they totally smashed the cake into each other's faces, it was awesome. I wasn't sure who started it but after I looked at the photos it was definitely Paige - I already thought Paige was great but now I like her even more! :)

Here's the slideshow:



And thank you to TJ Cameron for taking time out of his busy schedule to come shoot the wedding with me in La Grande. He may never go on a road trip with me and Stephanie again, I think we scared him with our country-ness :)

The other day I shot senior pics for my littlest sister Kylyn and her friend Sarah - I think they'll kill me if I post any of them, but we'll see....

Tammy & Andy

Yesterday I photographed Tammy & Andy's wedding outside of Philomath. I met Tammy through my mom, who used to work with her at the horse barn at the Children's Farm Home in Corvallis. That's also where Tammy & Andy met eachother. The whole day was a combination of really funny and really emotional - The bridal party arrived at the ceremony via Andy's huge truck and a tractor (see slideshow). Just a few minutes later, there were very few dry eyes during the ceremony - including my own, which can make it a little hard to take pictures!

Congrats Tammy & Andy!
