FREE Mothers Day Photo Shoot (unofficial)

So I've brainstormed up the idea of having a free photo session for Moms and their family members on Mother's Day at Goodspeed Park in Tillamook. (3rd street by the railroad tracks) Still waiting to get approval from the City Manager but here is the skinny:

Basically, you can come by the park as you please between 9-11am on Sunday (Mother's Day - May 11th) or if you are afraid you might have to wait in line and would rather have a locked in time you can email or call to set up a "mini session" for the afternoon hours. Just to be clear, this is intended to get one nice shot of your family - not like a typical session with different poses and configurations. I will give everyone a card that will instruct them on where to access their photos online and you will have the option to purchase prints if you want. No minimum to buy and print prices are the same as always - just no session fee. I estimate that I will have the photos uploaded in 1-2 weeks for people to check out. They will be fun to just look through, even if you decide not to buy. I will put all the photos in one gallery - sorry no private galleries - so you will be able to see everyone's pics who participated. I'm hoping the drop by method works ok - we will see - hoping it will be like a "photo with Santa" only a little more glamorous! :) Hopefully no worries of long lines. It should be a fun day so stay tuned - I will be posting on the blog soon to keep everyone updated on whether I get the go ahead from the city or not - seems pretty straight forward, so hopefully it won't be a problem. Hope to see you there!

Mallory & Tony

As things work out Mallory and Tony came by my home to talk about my photography services for their wedding and the very same afternoon we were shooting their engagement photos. Living out of town, trying to pin down a day without rain to make the trip over would have been difficult - luckily weather was perfect when they were here. We went out to Oceanside to do their photos - they will be getting married there later this fall on the beach. I'm so excited to do their wedding right on the beach - it will be very romantic. Hopefully they have good weather, but rain or shine it will be beautiful just the same.

Mindy & Chris

Met up with Mindy and Chris for some engagement photos at Oceanside yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful day....but oh sooo cold and windy!!! They were real troopers though and we had fun catching some silly as well as romantic photos. The wind can be a nuisance for hair sometimes - but in the end I love the movement it creates in photos. After all that's what the Oregon beach experience is all about! 2 1/2 months to go until the "big day" guys - looking forward to it!
