Salem Oregon Photographer - cozy camper christmas!

I’m currently on vacation! Well, technically it’s more of a “staycation,” but I’m off work for a few weeks! I had a very busy year and didn’t really get a chance to do any creative/personal work, so this little holiday themed shoot in our camping trailer was exactly what I needed. Once I wrapped up all of my client work for the year, I went out to the trailer (in our driveway), turned on some Christmas music, made myself some cocktails, and decorated the tiny space. It was just what I needed to unwind, espeicially after such a busy fall season, This seems to have become an annual thing for me, although not always with the same trailer.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Salem Oregon Photographer - Valentine's Glamping!

I honestly had no idea how much fun I would have with our little (19ft) travel trailer. The makeover on Miss Patty, a 1998 Prowler, was a must, as the late 90s color scheme wasn’t our jam. I love how it turned out, but it wasn’t actually a “fun” project…mostly because I was melting in the summer heat. Anyway, camping has been absolutely awesome and our trailer is just perfect for my husband and I. What I didn’t expect, though, was to have so much fun decorating her for various holidays! I’ve now decorated for Halloween, Christmas (twice), Valentine’s Day. We actually camped over Halloween this past fall, so it was a good excuse to decorate. Unfortunately our December trip got snowed out. As luck would have it, we are camping for Valentine’s Day this year, so here we are…with another excuse to decorate again! Speaking of luck…St. Pattrick’s Day is up next!
