.Santa Barbara/Ventura.

So this post is LONG OVERDUE..... but here are some photos from my L.A./Santa Barbara/Ventura trip.....

.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!!!!!! :) :) :)
