New Look.

Hi there. We’ve done some spring cleaning. We decided to simplify our overall “look” and make it easier for our clients, friends and viewers to see what we’re all about. Here on our blog, you’ll find recent images by both Nicole and Kristen, and some fun collaborations. We’re also planning to start collecting photographs of strangers, so keep an eye out for those! When we feel we’ve shot something that’s a “keeper” you’ll see it in our portfolios. Those links are up there in the menu bar, under our respective names. We’ll keep the best of our best on those personal portfolio sites. If you see something you love and you want to ask us about it, or book a session with us, feel free to use the contact form in the menu bar!

Our focus is on making art. We lean on each other and learn from each other. We’re individuals with our own visions and we’re also a team with a collective vision: film, art, photography, storytelling. We support each other firstly in creating solid work and secondly in our business. We take sessions with clients on a case by case basis, if we feel that the client’s vision and expectations are a good fit with our style. Pricing is determined on a per-project basis. We’re really open to discussing your ideas!

Thanks for reading and taking a look around. We hope you like what you see.

Walking in the Snow | Portland, OR Fine Art Photography

Have you ever been out walking in the snow?
Tried to get back to where you were before
You always end up not knowing where to go
If you’ve ever been out walking in the snow
If you’d ever been out walking you would know.

FIND Workshop | Portland, OR Film Photography

Kristen — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 21:17:03 +0000

I was lucky enough to attend the Film Is Not Dead workshop with my business partner Nicole. Jonathan Canlas was our teacher, and we spent three days immersed in all things film photography. A month later, I’m still trying to process everything I learned. I feel a need to deconstruct everything I know and have learned about myself as a photographer and start again from scratch. I am filled with a desire to grow, to learn, to be better. ”Inspired” doesn’t even begin to cover it. I’ll post some of the images I took during this workshop. I look at them and see all the things I need to do to improve, and all of the distance before me… but that makes me happy. Thank you, Jon, for everything.
