Portland

This week I'm up in Portland--one of my favorite cities to visit. I love it up here--it has a very distinct culture, is very artsy and is green--literally and figuratively :). It's also in the 50s to 70s right now which definitely beats the 110 degree heat that everyone in Phoenix is enduring.

The main reason I came was to shoot an engagement shoot for Tad and Diana, a couple who is getting married up here in August. But I extended my trip to hang out with friends and to get away for a bit. I'm enjoying shooting for fun up here and will post some photos from my trip throughout the week that paint a picture of Portland or are just plain fun.

When we stopped at a gas station yesterday, I saw this car:

And here are some other fun shots around town. I love the colors:




My friend Ellen lives here. This is her being all "model-y":


My roommate, Keri, also happened to be up here visiting Ellen and friends this last week. So our trips overlapped today and we got to hang out. Here's her cute mug:


Our friend Lindsay is also here from Phoenix. Here's her looking like a movie star:


We ate at my favorite Thai restaraunt in Portland and had a fun girl day:








Stay tuned--more fun to come :)
