We’ll be revealing this summer’s Gem sessions soon! Limited Edition children’s Gem sessions are fun kids and easy for parents. Our family Gem sessions offers our signature fusion of casual portraiture and lifestyle photography. Quick and easy, we like to think of them as part of your family time, rather than time out from it! Bring on the summer and give us a call!

Yesiree! We are back and ready to Celebrate the Art of Joy!

Wow – it has been a while!

We have so many exciting plans in the works for 2010:

Wonderful Weddings! I am so grateful we book such unique and joyful couples. I can honestly say I’m looking forward to each and every event! Our first wedding of the season is April 10th, at Acadian Ballroom. You’d better believe we’ll have the festivities on the Shutter Monkey right after wards!

Portraiture Galore! We’re thrilled to have so many of our wedding couples come back for maternity and family sessions as well as welcoming new clients into our AJ’s family.
We’ll be announcing our new summer portrait series in the coming weeks.

Sensational Seniors! After testing the waters of Senior Portraits last year, we came to the conclusion: We LOVE Seniors! We just photographed two new Senior Reps from Hockinson High School. Olivia and Karen were absolutely charming!

Did I mention we’re moving? We will now have meeting space on both sides of the Columbia. We’re over the moon excited to be teaming up with 10 of Portland’s Premeire wedding professionals to launch The Wedding Lounge. Currently under construction, The Wedding Lounge will be located at 2808 NE Martin Luther King Blvd, Suite J. If that address sounds familiar, it’s because we’ll be right next door to The Bridal Loft. To find out more about The Wedding Lounge, click on our Blog. To get the latest updates, you can follow the Wedding Lounge (@wedding_lounge) on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Finally, we’ve been having some fun family events. Hunter made his official acting debut at the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics playing Gallito, the Selfish Rooster. So please allow my proud Mom moment to show off my little thespian.

See you all VERY soon! XOXO

Last week, I was invited up to Battle Ground to take some images of this wonderful family on some gorgeous acreage! Nothing, though, prepared me for the beautiful golden light in their field as the sun set (although, in all fairness, Liz had described it to me to a T – and we held out until it happened!) Here is a sneak peek at our session!

Celebrate Ruby and Gus!

Time for my yearly portrait session with Ruby and Gus. They’re both up a size and down some teeth, but still a blast to hang out with for an afternoon!
