Rebecca + Chamrone - Engagement

I met with Rebecca and Chem last evening as the sun went down at the Portland headlight. The storms held off for us and we got these great pictures in the beautifully golden setting sun. They told me about their first date at Portland Headlight while we were taking pictures there and it ended up being the perfect spot in more ways than one for engagement photos.

Kara + Mike -Engagement

I met Kara + Mike for their engagement photoshoot today in Portland at the Headlight. Nervous it would rain AGAIN, I held my breath on my way to meet them. To all of our surprise it was a perfect day for photos and we found all kinds of great places to pose. This couple is so sweet and so easy in front of a camera. I had a great time taking their pictures!

This one was for fun. "Run through the woods towards me"


Look at those eyes! You guys are gorgeous!
Seriously, how sexy is this picture?
Adding some texture to this old stone artifact.Probably one of my favorite pictures of all time. :) Thank you guys!!!

Mary and Greg - Engagement

Today I met Mary and Greg in Portland as well crossed our fingers the rain would stop. Unfortunately, the rain had its way with us today but I think we pulled it off. Mary & Greg are getting married in August so we have all decided this rain was just a test to make sure we truly appreciate the sun shine on their wedding day.

Hair still semi dry. Nice smiles guys.

We found a run down old building, what a nice contrast. :) This pose is much harder than it looks, right Mary?
I love this one.
And the hot red pumps. Spicey!

Dani & Travis are married!

Last weekend I had a blast shooting Dani and Travis' wedding day. They held their wedding outside in a park and chose the most AMAAAZING day. (good job guys!) the sun was out the sky was as blue as can be and it was just a fairytale day.

We started the day at the hair salon with the girls. The hair salon happened to be in a mall. The picture below was taken just as a security guard came and told me I was not allowed to take pictures in the mall. He questioned me as if I had some sketchy motive to b taking pictures and I was almost worried he was going to ask for my camera. Good thing for him he didn't because Dani and her mom would have probably tackled him for it along with the other girls. We were bummed because we wanted to take some fun pictures of all the girls goofing off in the mall before it was time to get ready. Oh well, it was fun anyway.
Here is a picture of he rings on a wooden box made by Travis as a surprise to Dani. Inside was a sweet note for the wedding day. He did an amazing job on his gift and I am sure they will cherish it for generations. Way to go Travis!

Travis, patiently waiting for all his groomsmen to get to the park for prewedding pictures.

The cutest bridesmaid/ring barer I have ever seen!

They chose a great spot for the ceremony. It was Plan B because the huge fountain hadn't been turned on in time for them to hold the ceremony in front of it. So they went with the flow (or lack of flow).

How adorable!!! These two are so in love and are obviously a perfect match!

More pics of reception to come.

Mother's day gift photoshoot with Ava

I first photographed baby Ava when she was 4 months old. She is now getting so grown up and is 15 months! Ava's aunt wanted to surprise her mommy with some beautiful pictures of adorable Ava.

Ava and her cousin

Are you kidding me with those eyes?

About 3 seconds before she drooled in her mouth, yuck!

Can you say ADORABLE?!

New look to the website

So, I have been a bad blogger. Way behind but looking to get back to work on my blog. I am announcing a new look to the blog as well as an exciting very new look to the website coming very soon! AS you can see the new logo at the top of the blog. This logo is a small taste of the new image of Loving Eyes Photography. This feels a little like growing up. I am letting go to the old site and image and stepping into the big grown up world. Stay tuned.

Angie & Eric ~ Engaged

Last Saturday was an amazingly beautiful day and a perfect day for a photoshoot. Angie & Eric are including a photo guestbook in their wedding and these are the photo's for that book. We took a walk down a road through their land that Eric has created and Angie loves. We then took a drive to a plot of land that they own, where we took these romantic shots in the field of wild flowers (my favorite place to shoot.) This couple are so obviously in love and completely fun loving. They were a joy to photograph. I can't wait for their wedding at the end of August!!
