Megan | Class of 2012

Super excited to share photos from my first ever senior photo session with my dear, Megan! She asked me if we could do them at a place we both love, Winema Christian Camp, to which I replied "YES!!!"

Honestly I love almost all of the pictures and had trouble choosing a few to show! Enjoy!

This was actually Megan's idea! I was so excited! My feet hurt SO bad from this cold water, but totally worth it!

You are so beautiful Megan! I loved taking your photos so much! (let's do it again? College senior?)

Robinson Wedding

Pretty sure I never blogged these before, I was just going back through some of my old photos and found some that I really like :) And since it's pretty much "wedding season" right now, I thought it'd be perfect.

Enjoy!

 pretty much in love with that chair.

absolutely love the feeling of this one :) *sigh*

I don't remember why she was making that face, but it's just so cute!

I was the second photog. for this wedding so I really only have half the photos I normally would, these are some of my faves though :)

Be excited for Megan's senior photos! They are GORGEOUS! And shot at one of my favorite places ever: Winema Christian Camp. I feel that my life is now complete since I've shot senior photos there ;)

See you soon!

I heart stripes!

I'm totally loving the nautical trend right now as I'm totally addicted to navy and white stripes! I found this fabric as this awesome store in Portland called Scrap that has scraps of fabric, and random bits of used art supplies, it's awesome! So of course I bought it and set it aside for the perfect project, which this happened to be :)

the leather tassle is from H&M the rest is made by me :)

have a great weekend!

Sometimes...

Spent this last week and the beautiful oregon coast for high school camp. We sang a song called "Sometimes" by David Crowder Band, the lyrics are simply beautiful and amazing and were the inspiration for this design :)

this is the song, you must listen! :)

Bloggin' it up!

So I've decided it's about time for a blog post of MY favorite blogs! Yeah! I'll try to narrow it down to my absolute faces for you…as of now I have over 1000 unread items in my google reader! I hate hitting "mark as read" when I haven't actually read something, but I'll admit, sometimes I do. Okay now time for blogs! here they are:

GRAPHIC DESIGN bloggers:

NUBBY TWIGLET (http://nubbytwiglet.com/)  went to the same school as me, KILLER sense of fashion, amazing eye for design and typography and she has probably the most epic shoe collection I've ever seen.

EIGHT HOUR DAY (http://eighthourday.com/) A Graphic design studio with some amazing talent! Check the portfolio. I also love their blog. Ok, they're website header alone makes me love them, go to their site and see.

CORINNE ALEXANDRA / STUCK WITH PINS (http://www.stuckwithpins.com/) She is one of those rare people that is rockin' at both design and photography! Amazing style and work! Quite different than my own but I am constantly impressed by her stuff! 

THE LOVELY PACKAGE (http://lovelypackage.com/) package design blog! some cool stuff! yep that's my description.

BRAND NEW (http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/) basically a blog about cooperate identity work (sorry that description sounds boring) Basically when a company changes their logo these people review it (remember the GAP logo fiasco? yeah)

I LOVE TYPOGRAPHY (http://ilovetypography.com/) about typography and fonts! enough said :)

LOGO DESIGN LOVE (http://www.logodesignlove.com/) logo design! yep

SWISS MISS (http://www.swiss-miss.com/) :)

okay these might be all I have for designers actually….I'm kind of addicted to pinterest as of late so I am constantly on there :)

PHOTOGRAPHY bloggers:

TARA WHITNEY (http://tarawhitney.com/) such a gorgeous eye for photography that is beautiful yet REAL! She also happens to live in Orange County so she has countless amazing photo sessions on the BEACH! wow :)

the ladies at SIMPLY BLOOM (http://www.simplybloomphotography.com/) woooow! I'm totally speechless by their work! I don't even know how to describe it, just look for yourself and be amazed! (they are my top choice for a wedding photographer also) oh and p.s. ALL NATURAL LIGHT they rarely even use reflectors! way to be amazing.

Red Leaf Studios (http://www.lightandtruth.ca/) also AMAZING work! One of my favorite things about them is they still occasionally shoot in FILM and ROCK at it! :)

RYAN BRENIZER (http://www.ryanbrenizer.com/blog/) One of the only male photographers and designers I like I just realized? strange. Anyway, this guy rocks at off camera strobe lighting and crazy creativeness with that! He also has a knack for capturing THE perfect moment! He's also one of the creators of THE MOMENT JUNKIE blog (http://www.momentjunkie.com/)

JONI NIEMELA (http://photography.poreo.com/photoblog/) found this guy on flickr…he does AWESOME nature photography with this other-worldly light! I'm so impressed, no idea how he does it!

DIY/CRAFTY blogs: (may have shorter descriptions, this is a lot of writing for me this morning, haha)

WOW this is a lot! Hope you guys can find some new awesome blogs you've never read before! 

I'm hoping to get outside today for some photography so maybe you'll be searing a new post soon!

-Me

Yes, I'm a shoe addict

Okay yes, I really love shoes. I can't deny it. Another thing I love: awesome companies and/or organizations. What happens when you mix the two? Sseko Designs! Yipee! Okay yes I am interning for them, but that is not why I love them, I love them because they are awesome/stylish/fun/comfortable/ and more. I have basically dubbed these the perfect shoe for a designer/artist such as myself because you can change them everyday (or halfway through the day as I'm often tempted to)! Different ways to tie and different straps = never ending fun (for me at least). 

sidenote: while I am a photographer, these aren't my photos, these are Ssekos lovely photos I'm using :)

hellooooo turquoise! probably my favorite 

yes these come in a close second I think...

be sure to check out the story behind Sseko on their website :)

SUMMERTIME

Went for a walk today, these are just some of the pretty photos I took :)

I'm feeling like this will be a really good summer...here's to hoping!
