I feel a little bad that I have abandoned my blog… It turns out, people like my photography so much they are paying me to take pictures of them now. I will be gone for a while while I build my business. It’s been fun word press people. :0) I shall return soon to update everybody on my progress.
30-365 Photo Project
I had a henna client today. It still surprises me when I get random calls from people based on google searches to my website. I love doing henna, I wish I had more time to contribute to doing it full time.
29-365 Photo Project
Ohhhhhh guilty feeling. I didn’t realize I was so far behind on my posting. eeek!
I went to my favorite bar on this day, my friend Brian was so patient while he was waiting for me to get this shot. Still not exactly what I had in mind but I am gonna say, it’s the limitations from my camera. An SLR with a wider lens was what I should have used to get the shot I intended. it’s still cool though. He liked it.
28-365 Photo Project
It’s not that I haven’t been taking photos every day, I have. I just haven’t been worried about uploading them to this blog. I promise I will post them all here but unfortunatly, with as busy as I am, this is a second thought for now.
It was such a beautiful day that day. I think it hit 80 which was the warmest day this year so far. Spring is for sure here! I have a lot going on too. I will have to remember to keep my balance so I can enjoy more days outside!
27-365 Photo Project
So yea, they say the eyes are the windows to the soul. If you look closely at my eye, you will see, my soul has it’s very own window. :0)
So this photo was kind of random for my photo project. I was playing on Flickr and was looking at different photo challenges. Competing against other photographers for bragging rights I guess. At any rate, I saw a post for a challenge requiring a photo taken “within the next 15 min”. I took the photo, edited it and uploaded it with 9 minutes to spare! I did win the challenge. I got 4 out of 5 votes. :0) Those challenges are so addiction, seriously!
Trash Your Dress PDX!!!
A little workshop I am putting together…
Currently we have no requirements as far as what the model looks like. This is strictly for practice for photographers. When hired to photograph a wedding, you don’t get to pick what the bride looks like. :0) Not if you want the job anyway, LOL!
I haven’t built a website yet as this is my first event, I do have links to some of the flick pages of the photographers who are planning on attending though. You will be able to see, we all have very different styles and skill levels!

We will be shooting either at the fountain in Jameson square or by the trains in the industrial district from 2pm to dusk. The exact location has not been decided but it will be in or near downtown Portland.
All we ask is that the models who register to be photographed do show up, rain or shine as I am booking 1 photographer for each model! (We will switch around through out the day so you will get multiple albums, one from each photographer. The more models we get, the more photographers, means the more variety of photos you get!) If it does rain, I have a 10×10 tent I will bring so we can shelter and dry off between shots. :0) Serve some snacks for everybody too maybe. Worst case scenario, I find a cool old building and we do a shoot inside. I am brainstorming all week for locations!
You can show up in your dress, hair and makeup however you want it… here are some inspiration shots from other artists who have used this concept: http://www.flickr.com/groups/trashthedress/
If you would like to be part of the event let me know! I will put you down as a yes for the models then keep you updated on final location and time.
