This one's my favorite! Cutest picture ever!

I believe this was a disgust face. :)

Probably something I said

This was confusion?

I liked this one. :)

These ones are interesting. It looks like I cut and pasted her on a white background, but not the case.

I lied on the ground while she leaped off a picnic table (trying not to leap onto me), and the sky came out very overexposed and blown out.

She's in a time/space continuum!!

Sweet, huh?

Falling through the sky!

She's actually doing a little dance in the air!! :)

I love this girl!

Tongue out!!

Experimental Accidental Photography

2010-01-26T13:27:00.000-08:00

This is what I can experimental accidental photography. :)

Dangle a camera from your hand, take a walk, and push the button every few steps...

see what happens!!

Can anyone tell where my walk took me?

You Newberg-ians?

The Rest of Amanda's Portraits

2010-01-23T22:26:00.000-08:00

3rd time's a charm!! We finally were able to do an entire portrait shoot without it being dark or raining! And we didn't have to run from any trains this time! Victory! :)

Although some little junior high boys informed us we were breaking the law, but in that case so were they. So, oh well.

So much fun working with you, babe! You know I'm always game if you wanna do it again sometime!

Walking off into the sunset

Don't know what provoked the silly head tilt. :)

Just her own innate silliness I presume!

I remember laughing at her on this one. I told her to look mad. :]

She actually is in this picture! I promise! :)

Stop!

...in the name of love!

I climbed up on the boxcar for this one.

We were really paranoid it was gonna start driving away spontaneously! :)

It didn't.

This time she climbed up on the boxcar.

It didn't pull away with her on it either.

A serious "into the sunset" photo

Your eyes look green here, Amanda! Wazzup with that?!

One Random Portrait

2010-01-23T00:03:00.000-08:00

Amanda and I planned a portrait shoot on the railroad tracks today.

Unfortunately, I think I got a total of 4 pictures. It was colder than expected and the rain began to drench us, and apparently the train tracks are still in use.

So, after being rained on, frozen, losing our car, and chased by a train, we gave up the excursion.

To be postponed to later this weekend.

I got one shot I liked.

In a creepy, ethereal kind of way.

The flash went off and the whole picture got massively blown out.

But it's kind of intriguing.

Maybe not a TOTAL loss.

And we got coffee, came back home, watched Friends, and had a pillow fight.

All in all, not a bad day.

Urban-ness. And a duck.

Christmas on Campus

2009-12-05T21:44:00.001-08:00

Snowflake and Christmas lights. :) Makes me happy

Candles and Caroling

Tables full of goodies

Stockings for crafts

Huge groups of carolers

All decked out for the season. :)

Portrait Shoot...At night. Bit of a challenge.

2009-12-03T00:23:00.001-08:00

Makes my job so easy. So simple to take nice pictures of such a beautiful girl!

Best one of the night

Probably not most peoples' favorite, but I really like this one.

It's mysterious and ethereal. Might be my favorite.

Smiley one!!

The essential and traditional brick wall shot

Kinda like the lighting

Close-up!

Going for eyelash shots

It was getting quite dark and we had to get pretty creative with the lighting...

So we went for dramatic!

I liked this one better upside down. :)

A silly one. For good measure.

I love the green in the background. This may be my other favorite shot.

It was a blast working with you, sweet girl!

We will have to try again with maybe just a little bit of sunlight! :)

Bored on the Sidelines

2009-11-19T00:33:00.000-08:00

What to do when you're bored at a sporting event...

1. Find the cutest boys right away!!

2. See how close you can get to the athletes without being creamed

3. Pay attention to their feet

4. Find creative compositions

5. Find a still object surrounded by moving ones

6. See what funny faces you can get

7. Try to get some good tongue shots

8. Play with your zoom

9. Make everyone out of focus. And lie in the grass.

10. Get distracted by things on the sidelines

11. And the people standing near you

And if you're really, really bored...

12. Cut peoples' heads off

[not literally of course]

Water Splashes

2009-11-19T00:22:00.000-08:00

My favorite

You can see the bouncy-ball I was using. :)

big splash

big drip

It's like a mini hurricane

My second favorite

It's a flat splash. Don't quite know how that one happened.

PORTLAND!!!! SUCH, SUCH, SUCH a good day!!

2009-10-20T23:53:00.001-07:00

My favorite!! :)

Lloyd Center clocktower

Pretty building, pretty sky. Great combination.

Like this one. Not really quite sure why. Not sure what to say about this.

But I like it. :)

Iridescent windows. ;)

Someone's sidewalk art.

If you look closely, you can see me in the button!

Buildings and leaves, buildings and leaves, I'm a little lass who loves buildings and leaves.

Cloud reflections!! :) Nothing prettier.

Sun streaming in.

BEACH DAY!! :)

2009-10-20T23:36:00.001-07:00

A trip to the beach!! Just for fun!

And for photos, of course!! ;)

Crashing wave. There's a duh.

Accidental picture.

But maybe the coolest of the day.

The beach. Yup.

Thru the trees.

Yup. It's still the beach.

Not feeling very creative with captions tonight.

Wave.

Also a wave.

Running, dancing, being silly.

She's chasing the pelicans.

Now the pelicans are chasing her!

Flying pelican.

I liked this one. :)

Couple of recents

2009-10-07T15:46:00.000-07:00

I LOVE the sunflowers!!!

And I really liked this shot! :)

A doorknob in Newberg. That's about all the description I have for this one.

Newberg. Friday night.

A few more model shots.

I wasn't planning on going to this shoot and so didn't have my camera.

Had to shoot with my little compact powershot. :(

I'm still very upset.

Her cute little baby girl.

She's trying to tell me something.

I still have no idea what.

Cute shot of them interacting, when they thought I was done photographing.

Just chilling on the train tracks. :)

But they were just too cute, so I had to pull the camera back out again.

...why I ever bother to put it away is beyond me.

Ever Wonder...

2009-10-01T00:25:00.000-07:00

What GP looks like at 3 am?

Wonder no more!!

Clearly my favorite.

[click to enlarge. looks much more stunning against a white bground]

Rather fond of this one as well. :)

Mustang. And red. Only thing better is a black one. :)

Random alley full of tires

Up a pole

Don't ask.

You never know when you'll be inspired to lie in the sidewalk in the dead of night and take a photo of a shopping cart.

When it happens. . .

You'll just know

I liked how the white lit up and looked to be glowing.

Never seen this bridge so empty. And probably never will again.

If you're a Grants Pass-ian, you will appreciate these.

It's the climate, it is.

Model Shoot

2009-08-21T15:00:00.000-07:00

Recently got to do a photo shoot of a professional model!!!...

For a magazine!!

Yes. :)

I am moving up in the world!

FYI: I KNOW MANY OF YOU WHO WILL BE LOOKING AT THIS BLOG, AND IF YOU'RE ESPECIALLY CONSERVATIVE, KNOW GOING IN THAT THESE ARE PHOTOS OF A PRO MODEL FOR A MAGAZINE AND THEY ARE RATHER SEDUCTIVE!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

p.s.~ don't know why they look so faded and pale here. They're not actually that colorless.

Hitmen Tournament at RCC

2009-08-11T13:02:00.001-07:00

No one was playing yet. I was bored. Need any more explanation?

When James was looking through the images I'd taken of the first game, he had it zoomed in on the playback images so it looked like I'd been taking pictures of just their butts and legs, so I took this one as a joke...

And then I kinda liked it. :)

Brian looks thrilled and his face just made me laugh

Just random action shots and such.

Hitmen Huddle

Cute little boy observing the game. He was just too cute not to photograph.

Hitmen Add-on

2009-08-11T12:48:00.000-07:00

So I realized you couldn't really see Brian's face, and it's just too priceless. :)
