Hillary - Senior 2010!

Have I mentioned that my clients are awesome? A few hundred times, you say? Well, it's because they ARE. And Hillary is no exception. We had a BLAST taking photos downtown at Tanner Springs Park....














...and then we headed out to the family farm her mom grew up on!



Her adorable baby cousin was there for some moral support...



We then headed to the neighboring farms and took advantage of some AWESOME sunset light!







There were too many great photos to blog, so just check out the slideshow to see them all!

Congratulations Hillary! Have an awesome Senior year!!

The Garrison Family

If you read this blog, you know that I am very blessed to have wonderful clients. I'm also blessed to have wonderful friends, and this photo session combined the best of both worlds. The Garrisons are dear friends, and when they asked me to take family shots, it didn't take long for me to think of a great (and meaningful) place to go. A lot of these images were taken at the Alpenrose Dairy in Portland, where Tanner has spent many an evening performing on stage in the Opera House with the drama group at Westside Christian High. We finished up the session on the deck of their new home, and they even let me climb on the roof to get some shots. I told you my clients were awesome!

Kendall: Bridal Portraits

Want an example of how awesome my clients are? How about when they get their wedding dress back out several weeks after the wedding and come do an "After" bridal session with me? I think that's pretty great! And I'm blessed enough to press a shutter button for all of them. Congratulations Kendall, and thanks for being awesome!

My daughter Megan had to get a look at those ruby-colored shoes!


Of course, those shoes DID rock!






My personal favorite...

Jessica - Senior 2010!

I had the privilege of taking Jessica's Senior Photos a couple of weeks ago, and we had a blast! The rain held off except for when we were driving between locations, and the sun gave us just enough light to get our session in. I'd spotted the "Believe" antique store a few weeks before and knew I wanted to use it in a session, and finally got the chance. Don't forget to check the slideshow at the end. I think Jessica did a great job choosing the music! (And I love it when Seniors pick music for their slideshow... Just another way to capture their personality!)

Congratulations Jessica!

Fall Family Portrait Special!

Can you believe it's Fall already? Neither can I! As much as I love the warm weather, there is something about the crisp air, the changing leaves, and the upcoming Fall holidays that I really enjoy. And with the kids going back to school, the warm weather starting to disappear, and Christmas just around the corner, what better time for family portraits?

Since one of our favorite October traditions is going to an area Pumpkin Patch, I have decided to set aside 4 sessions specifically for my clients where I will be your personal family photographer as you pick out your pumpkin! Let's get some great shots of your kids in the corn maze, little ones playing on the hay bales, or the whole family sitting in the barn loft. The possibilities are endless!

Here are the details: I have reserved the morning and afternoon of Oct. 10th, the afternoon of Oct. 11th, and the morning of Oct. 24th. These will be 1-2 hour sessions and you will receive a disc with all of your edited images. This is a $400 value that you can receive for $300 if you book one of these limited spots right away! Call me at (503) 888-5202 or email me at curtisleefarmer@gmail.com to reserve your spot today!
