Well, ‘Trash the Dress’ is a little harsh; I’ve seen ones with dresses on fire. I don’t think we’d be taking fire to anyone. Although Joel is an Eagle Scout, not sure he got his ‘Putting Out a Bride on Fire’ badge. But I bet if there was one, it would be a sweet graphic.
While the weather is still gorgeous, or maybe when it’s sloppy snow time, we’d like to offer Trash the Dress sessions. Inquire for rates; past brides, this includes you! We’re up for running around town, crawling around in junk yards or flea markets. Where ever you’d like to tromp around in your dress. We’ll brainstorm and come up with a cool location and something fun that fits in your comfort level. This is an opportunity to do more choreographed shots that aren’t usually our normal wedding day documentation style. (Groom/Husband welcomed to be included!) Shoot us an email if you’d like to discuss!

Normally, our included editing is very minimal, involving color correction and black and white conversions. We keep it fairly simple so that it’s as true to the moment as possible. However, this doesn’t mean it’s not fun to play and enhance images every so often. With our new packages we’re offering processing similar to this for those that would like to see something a bit more ‘detached’ from the original image, yet retain it’s narrative feel.
We were in Oregon last week visiting family, and the beautiful beach. (A separate entry to come on that.) Hence, all the posts as it’s been a busy week trying to get caught up.
Okay, so an untouched subject here are senior pictures. *dun, dun, duuuunnn* Personally, I think of 80’s shots of people standing in front of a brick wall wearing jean jackets.
In an effort to avoid their pictures becoming outdated or cookie cutter, we strive to bring something more out of them than just posing. One where they can look back at the pictures in 10, 20 years and still see part of who they were at that time. Just themselves at a chapter in their life and enjoying not having to ‘know’ who they are yet. (I am still enjoying that in my own life!)
Amanda, from Amanda + Brian, has an aunt in Portland who contacted me about Senior Pictures of her daughter, KayAnna, while we were in town. (Talk about coincidence!) We met them at IKEA, which we’ve been to like four times in the last two months, and then drove about and basically pulled over whenever we saw something cool. Here are a few shots I know they’ve been excited to see!
