Pink Glam-onade Glitter Shoot | Emily Mazour & Tree Sphinx & Blair Doucette

 

I'm obsessed with this shoot. I've been on a hiatus of sorts when it comes to fashion shoots. When I first moved to Portland I did so many shoots that I burnt myself out. But lately, with the emergence of spring and the sunshine finally on its way, I'm feeling super inspired for the first time in years. 

Emily Mazour was the creative genius behind Blair's pink and yellow hairstyle. Chelsea Sinks, also known as "Tree Sphinx", is responsible for the glitter and makeup magic. I recently acquired some new filters and experimented with Emily's ring light, and it was enough to convince me that I needed a ring light of my own (which I'm purchasing today)! 

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Make sure to scroll to the end of the post to check out my fav film photos (polaroids, holga, 120mm, etc.). Can't wait to work with this incredible team again!

Haunt + Holly Stalder Designs SS18 Lookbook | Portland Fashion Photography

 

Always always always excited to shoot with lovely Holly Stalder, an incredibly talented and sweet designer located here in Portland. Her boutique, Haunt, is one of my favorite stores around because of it's array of one-of-a-kind vintage and handmade clothing. Holly and I have worked together quite a few times, but I'm consistently inspired by her creations. She even designed my wedding dress for me last April! She is truly a gem in the Portland fashion world. Below are my personal favorite images from the SS18 Lookbook we photographed last month. The photos are a mixture of film and digital, and feature the stunning Anna Kate of Reaction Models. My all-time favorite hair and makeup artist, Gina Campbell, killed it with the looks for this shoot. I could honestly work with these ladies every day for the rest of my life and be happy. <3

 

Las Vegas on Film | Holga, Polaroid, 35mm

 

For my birthday last month, Chris and I flew to Las Vegas for a long weekend. We met up with my mom and sister and took sooo many photos. I'm lucky that my sister obsesses over capturing every moment of our trips like I do. We pretty much decided we only go on trips for the photographic opportunities. Then we go home and scrapbook the whole dang thing. Kinda nerdy but what else are we gonna do with all those photos? 

I've been slowly transitioning into shooting only film, and I realized on this trip that digital photography has pretty much phased itself out of my life. I used to take hundreds of digital photos every trip, with a few random film photos scattered in-between. In Vegas, I took about 30 digital photos total, and the rest was all film. It's taken a while to get to this point. I think I was mostly afraid that my film photos wouldn't turn out and that I wouldn't have any photos from my trip. But I feel such a connection to film photography, so I'm always much more excited about the images I get at the end of it all.
