In the Storm!

We decided to risk going into Portland on what was a rainy day. The weather cleared just enough for us to get some great shots downtown. I loved the cheerful blue and white checked top this senior wore for her first outfit. It looked great in the funky red brick amphitheater with the white marble circle in the center. When you stand in the center, sound travels back at you. It's pretty cool. There is also this weird white statue (?structure?) next to a pond with plants and rocks and stuff. It's always fun trying to pose yourself on that thing! It's not very comfortable. I love this red brick women's bathroom which is covered with ivy. I had her stand next to the window and did some fun special effects on the shot. Then she got into a beautiful purple dress with a yellow scarf. There is another weird structure at one of the Federal Buildings which is a kind of an orange color. I love the shots with her in purple next to the orange. The scarf was a great accessory.

During the shoot, we would have to run under the trees and wait for the rain to calm down and then dash out for a few shots before running for cover again. Finally, it decided to rain for good, so we drove back to my home studio and grabbed some wonderful shots here. I love her black hat!. She was a great sport considering the rain and I love the shots we were able to capture. By the way, this senior has submitted a few photos to my contests and I think she may be a budding photographer, herself!

Well, "E", I hope you love these!

Hi Lisa!
Well the slideshow looks great! I had a great time with the Photo Experience. I absolutely loved it, I mean I love taking pictures, but I also love to be the one in the picture too! Haha. I love how you made me position this way and that way, it's part of the photographer's job, but it also shows your passion in wanting to perfect a picture. That shows you care, and makes the whole photo experience all the more better.

The photos look great in the slideshow ♥

Thank you Lisa!
