Hood River Boudoir Photographer - sexy mama, on the other side of the camera

I’ve already posted about this day with my friend, River, but now that it’s a year later, everything looks different. We met up on March 7th, 2020, so not just twelve months ago, but a year of pandemic/quarantine. We went into “lockdown” just a few days after this. At the time, we had NO idea how much things would change.

This was our last “normal” weekend, but we didn’t know it. When I look back at these photos, they just FEEL different than they did a year ago. It’s hard to explain, but I can SEE the carefree look on her face that I just doubt is there right now (for any of us)!

Back in March (literally days before the pandemic shut everything down here in Oregon), my dear friend and I got together for a day of laughter and portraits. I had rented out a home in Hood River (it’s called the Hood River Guest House, but is no longer available for short term rentals through airbnb) for my birthday weekend. I had a wonderful time relaxing in the gorgeous loft-barn-studio-farmhouse-apartment place, while my husband went over to Washington to ride his dirt bike. I also took advantage of the location and lined up a couple of photo shoots, including this one with River. I took photos of her and she took photos of me!
