.Wy'East Vineyards.

I have had the priviledge of working with Wy'East Vineyards, from Parkdale Oregon on some new vineyard, website and event photos, as well as wine bottle labels. Dick and Christie Reed have been wonderful to work with. They wanted to have a very vintage, older feel to them. Sepia toned, high in contrast and grain and very moody, but all of them different shots of Mt. Hood for each different kind of wine they have. Here are some of shots for their latest wine labels :

.Spring has Sprung.

These crocus' are all popping up around campus.... YAY!!!! Spring has finally sprung in Oregon!!!

.Downtown Portland.

On Saturday afternoon, my good friend and fellow photonerd Tyler Roemer and I decided to walk all around downtown Portland by the waterfront and through the Old Town District. It was so nice Saturday, and with mild cloud spotted skies it made for perfect light. I love Oregon when it gets nice out!!! It was so great!!! Afterwards we met up with some friends around the Hawthorne district and ate a ton of sushi. SO MUCH FUN!!!

.A quote from my favorite photographer.

"To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart. It's a way of life." ~Henri Cartier Bresson

.Blue Bird.

.Snowboarding is one of my all time favorite hobbies. I cannot get enough of it. I LOVE being on the mountain, hanging out with my friends, riding all day, being really sore from getting worked on jumps and rails....hahahaha.....and by far, snowboarding is a gorgeous sport....just look at what I get to be around. I think my favorite thing about riding is the fact that when I go, my mind clears from all of the other stuff in my life, all I think about is me, my board, and having an amazing time...especially when it's all blue bird out....blue bird days are my favorite......EVER!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

.oh my gosh, this is so stinking cute.

So..... my hopeless romantic side comes out majorly when I found this video.... holy crapola.... I would DIE if my guy did this for me...... SO SO SO ROMANTIC and SO SO SO ADORABLE!!!!!! :) :) :)

.Seattle.

So, I just went up to Seattle to visit my BFF Candice who just moved up to that area.....i.e. this girl;

We pretty much cruised all around S-town, went to Pike's Place Market, met up with my buddy Steve and went to the ballet and out to dinner at this super cool waterfront bar/grill place with some of his Seattle/Bellevue peeps, took a bunch of pics, got tattoos, walked all around the Space Needle and EMP, we wanted to visit the SAM (Seattle Art Museum) but we didn't have any time....so that's going to be for the next trip. We also went shopping, and drank tons and tons of coffee. I had an absolutely amazing time, and cannot wait 'til I get to go back for the next trip...the only horrible part about the trip was driving back down from Seattle. It's supposed to only take 3.5 hours and it took me 6.5 hours.......UGGGHHHH!!!!!! I pretty much listened to about 9 different cds.....hahahahaha.....crazy crazy amounts of traffic....sick!!!!
Anyways, here are some pics of my weekend in Seattle:





.Romeo and Julliette Ballet Groupies.....It was so beautiful, and we got to go backstage!!! It was amazing!!!






.EMP building is so rad. I love modern, funky architecture....this building is insanely cool.


.The Space Needle.

.One of my only complaints about Seattle is the traffic....there is so much of it!!!!. What am I gonna do when I go to L.A.....prolly die.....







.I got my first tattoo as well. La Joie de vie c'est Dieu means: The Joy of Life is God (in French), and the sparrows represent the freedom I have in Christ. I LOVE IT!!!!!.

.This trip was perfect.....Candice and I had a blast, laughed so much, and I'm already amped for the next trip.....hahahaha.
