Jackie Class of 2013 | St. Mary’s Academy Portland Or Senior Portraits

I really love it when I get to work with clients who I have so much in common with…When I asked the lovely Jackie what she likes to do for fun besides be a State Championship Basketball player at St. Mary’s, she giggled, and said, “Hang out with my family!”. The proof was in her entourage…mom, dad, and grandma came along to watch us capture some of Jackie’s senior memories. I don’t usually have that kind of audience for senior sessions, but this one was so sweet. They could not have been prouder of their sweet girl! I loved it.

Jackie is wrapping up her final weeks as a senior at St. Mary’s Academy in Portland, Oregon, with Prom, Senior Retreat, and loads of celebrations. This girl has a dynamic quality about her that just makes you want to be her friend! An amazing athlete, and yet so girly…we had a blast dodging raindrops and capturing her sweet and fun personality in Camas, Washington for her session. Jackie will go on this fall to University of Portland where she’ll join the Lady Pilots basketball team.

Hope you enjoy Jackie’s session as much as I did!

A place to call home!

I am beyond thrilled to have an official place to meet with clients…potential and current! While my office I work out of remains at home, this is the perfect place for me to hold meetings with clients. For the past few years, I have done the coffee shop thing, and honestly I LOVE coffee. However, it has it’s hang ups when meeting with clients…the sound of shots brewing, milk frothing, or Starbucks Album of the week in the background can be a distraction from conversations where I don’t want to miss a single detail!

I absolutely love meeting with Brides & Grooms, hearing about how they met, fell in love, and all the juicy wedding day details, and I do NOT want to miss a moment. And, let’s face it, Baristas are not always the most friendly people when nearing the end of their shift and they want to clean up and go home. More than once I’ve been informed that the store was about to close, and I was just getting to know my clients! This new space gives us a cozy and comfortable environment where we can sit back and relax over a cup of fresh brewed coffee or a glass of wine, and truly enjoy our conversation…peruse sample albums and chat about all the wedding plans without interruption. I LOVE it here!

This downtown Vancouver building is believed to date back to the late 1800′s, and was at one time possibly and old firestation. I am head over heels for the exposed brick and hardwood floors.

Enjoy the visual tour of the new space, I can’t wait to meet with you there!

This is where I meet with couples for wedding consultations….I love the light from these windows!

My fave monogram mugs, ready for a cup of coffee.A little welcome packet for a bride to be, ready to open up!This big conference room is where I’ll meet with couples after the wedding, or portrait clients after a session to show them their images on the screen during ordering sessions. (I’m not sure why I didn’t straighten up those chairs for the photo!)

I am so incredibly thankful the Lord provided this perfect place for me to call “home” while I meet with my lovely clients. I could NOT be happier!

Adam + Nicole | Washougal, Wa Engagement Session

His sister begged her not to date anyone until she met Adam, just knowing they’d be perfect together. When he returned on leave after Basic Training, they met and instantly struck up a sweet friendship. Hitting it off, they spent a lot of time together over those few weeks, and couldn’t wait to see more of each other when he returned home for good. The past 2 years have been full of love, faith and growth together…and it’s just the beginning!

Adam & Nicole were referred to me by mutual friends (& former Eryn Kesler brides), and I’m so happy to say that I’m pretty sure we’re officially friends now…I love nothing more than when I get to share in real life with my couples! We spent several hours on a rare sunny March day, at the beautiful Washougal River Greenway Trail, and at Steamboat Landing in Washougal, right on the Columbia River. I absolutely love shooting portrait sessions in Washougal, WA, it has so many little hidden gems for locations. Since Adam owns a house in Washougal, where they’ll soon call home sweet home, I knew it would be perfect for their session.

These two know how to laugh and have fun together, and are thoughtful and loving with each other…it was an engagement session made in heaven! I truly can’t wait to get to know them better as friends and of course, capture their wedding in July at the lovely historical Red Cross Building in Vancouver, Wa!

Charlee & Joel | Portland Pearl District Engagement Session

From the first summer day he saw her from across the park, he was drawn to her. There was something special that radiated from her smile that he just couldn’t get enough of.

With her hand in his, they are beginning to build a life together…one full of prayer, passion, and of course, radiant smiles.

Charlee and Joel wanted to have their engagement session in Portland’s Pearl District…somewhere as colorful and full of life as they are. Somewhere they often go to spend time together, hand in hand.

I can’t wait to spend for the day in May, when these two say ” I do”!

Happy Anniversary to Derek & Mary!

I’m a few days late, but these two are taking off to today for a weekend away to celebrate their second anniversary. And in a funny way, it’s an anniversary for me too! I will be forever grateful to Derek & Mary for choosing me to be their wedding photographer. They were my very FIRST Eryn Kesler Photography Bride & Groom! I knew I wanted to pursue wedding photography, and they put their trust in me to capture their wedding day. Here I am, two years later, and getting to live out my dream of being a wedding photographer.

Not only did I get to be their wedding photographer, but through the months before and after the wedding, I got to know them both and now call them cherished friends whom my whole family LOVES! I absolutely love that through the wedding process I get to know couples and am so blessed to call them a friend by the end of the process.

Derek & Mary, thanks for trusting me with your big day, and continuing to be faithful EKP cheerleaders! I am so blessed to have you both in my life and love watching you love each other and serve each other and those around you. In wonderful times and really difficult times, you two love each other well, and that is contagious. Happy Anniversary, here is to many more wonderful years!
