Finished Willamette Valley, Oregon Engagement Photographer

I just finished up the engagment photos from last week. I enjoyed editing these a lot...there were so many great shots though, it was hard to choose my favorites. I put together this collage just for fun so I could post more than a few pictures.

Engagement Session

Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite! And the most recent one with Crystal and Austin was no exception. The only downside to the sessions is when it comes to editing. Almost every picture is just perfect, I don't know how to pick a favorite! I am only about 1/3 of the way through so far, but thought I would post a few that I like. I may have to do a couple more posts, or maybe I'll make a collage of my favorites when I get done. We'll see!

Crystal and Austin ~Sneak Peak~ Willamette Valley, Oregon Engagement Photographer

I had such a fun time with Austin and Crystal today, shooting some engagement pictures! Austin is on leave from Iraq and I felt privilaged to share a few hours of their time together with them. I just had to post one shot I got...absolutely love it. The focus worked out perfectly, the lighting, the kiss, everything is just perfect! The two of them were sitting on the rocks and I was sneaking in from the other side of the water and captured this picture between some reeds. (click on the picture to view it larger)


We got so many great shots, I can't wait to go through all of them! I'll post some more tomorrow afternoon!

Tonya & Bry and John

Tonya and Bry seem to be the best of friends and John and Bry are recently engaged! (Congratulations again!) I spent most of the night laughing at the girls antics and John's good natured attitude! Bry is a hair stylist in Salem and just about found a new job last night. She had great poses and did a great job with making sure Tonya's hair was "just right"! Thanks Bry, you made my job easy!

I made my first major mistake last night...I walked out the door without a battery in my camera! I was incredibly embarressed! But Tonya and her friends were patient and happy to let me take some time to solve the problem. They had a chance to get some dinner while I decided what to do. I could drive home to get the battery but took the chance we would end up completely in the dark by the time I got back. So I decided to find a local camera store to buy a backup battery. (Which I planned to do someday anyway!) Fortunately the battery had a partial charge (about 1/3) and I headed back to the park.

So at about 6:30 (an hour after our original appointment.) we got started with the shoot. I have to apologize one more time! But again, I was so thankful to have a laid back group who took it all in stride!

While I am not going to claim to have taken my best set of shots, I did get to play around with lighting and such, since by the time we ended the session is was completely dark! I really got to learn lots of new things! Hopefully I will get some of those pictures posted later in the week.

Well, off I go to get my editing done...only 3 1/2 sessions to finish! (I am about 1/2 done with Kelly and Ken (from Saturday) and I will post a few more pictures of them tomorrow!)
