Sail away with me;Portland Spirit Wedding {Portland Wedding Photographer}

All summer long, I worried about how I was going to shoot my last two weddings. My due date for baby # 3 was Sept. 1st and I had weddings scheduled for Sept.10th and 18th--- I know, I know I'm CRAZY! but I really love what I do.. and when I commit to something like photographing a wedding I take that commitment very seriously.. so I was determined to have my baby early and rest up as much as I could to prepare for my last two weddings of the year... and well, that's exactly what happened. Rowen was born two weeks early and I got 3 weeks to recover before shooting Mark and Shelly's wedding aboard the Portland Spirit.

Mark and Shelly were surrounded by their closest friend and family. It was beautiful and intimate with just under 40 guests. The weather was perfect. We boarded the ship on the waterfront downtown Portland. The ceremony was on the top deck and then we headed down to the main level for a reception and lunch. We sailed the Willamette and celebrated the marriage of this very happy couple. Here are some of my favorite highlights from their Portland Spirit Wedding:

























And I love getting a quick pic with my clients so here goes...I look super tired and a little puffy--- but hey not bad for having a baby 3 weeks prior right? ;)

Getting Ready for your Wedding: Tips for Brides

Image
 Let's talk about Wedding Hair and Makeup and how long you will need to get ready on your wedding day. When it comes to planning your wedding day timeline this is a question I get a lot from brides "How long will it take to get ready?"  Generally, the answer is different for every bride and I try my best to give great advice when it comes to planning these details but let's face it, I'm the photographer, not a wedding planner or HMUA. I typically will suggest my brides get ready early and plan at least 1 hour per bridesmaid for hair and makeup. It seems like a lot of brides think they are going to have all day to get ready but time slips away very quickly on the day of. I have seen bridal parties with 10+ bridesmaids get full hair and makeup and still arrive on time ready for photos with no hiccups and I've seen small bridal parties struggle to show up an hour late to the ceremony. It's so important to make sure you have enough time for everyone to get rea

Pomeroy Farm Wedding, Jesse and Sierra

I absolutely love photographing couples at Pomeroy Farm Wedding Venue in Yacolt WA! It is by far one of my favorite venues. I love that is a historical venue. The history is so neat, the property is absolutely stunning and the family who owns and operates the wedding venue and historic farm are just the sweetest. They offer a variety of events throughout the year for families to visit and learn about the farm. Pumpkin lane is one of my favorites in October! If you haven't been out to see this beautiful historic Farm,  Wedding Venue, and winery you should definitely plan a visit!  Wedding Venue: Pomeroy Farm- Yacolt, WA What song did you choose for your first dance?

So you want to start a photography business?

Image
 Hello friends,  I wanted to hop on and answer a question I get all the time... How do you start a photography business?  Yep, I know it's kind of a broad question but believe me I get tons of emails, Facebook messages, and Instagram DMs with people flat out asking for me to help them get started.  I don't mind, really I'm happy to help but if I really truly shared every bit of information with every single person who reached out it would take me hours and hours to put it all together and I would be giving away everything I have done/learned. That is coaching or mentoring and if you are looking for a business coach I know some amazing ones and I'd be happy to connect you or if you'd like to hire me as your photography business coach, I'd be happy to work with you. It's so much more than taking pretty photos or setting up cute backdrops and props. If you don't have a good understanding of how to run a business it can be incredibly challenging.  I have do
