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)!
My friend, River, and I met up in Hood River last year to take photos of each other (both boudoir and regular portraits). I’m sure it was a hilarious sight to see us photographing each other, as we we were both in our undies and taking turns photographing each other. This was the first (and so far only) time I’ve done a session while not fully dressed, but I have to say… it was SO fun! Anyway, we managed to get ONE shot of each other at the exact same time. Here are the results…
I mean, when you have a kitchen like this at your disposal, you kind of Have to take advantage of it. Yes, even if it means having someone pose in their underwear. ;)
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!
I shared the b&w photos from this session recently, but felt that the color images deserved their own post. This amazing studio apartment, which I rented through airbnb, has been featured in magazines and I’m sure you can see why. It’s dreamy! Anyway, Megan and Kayla were great to work with. They’re clearly in love and generally speaking, chemistry kinda takes over in sessions like this and there isn’t really room to be nervous.
I had such a fun time photographing this adorable couple! Kayla & Megan drove out to Hood River, where I had rented the most amazing Airbnb for my birthday! Don’t worry…I have more photos from this session... that show more of the inside of this cool space! I’ll post those soon.
