New Look.

Kristen — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:19:41 +0000

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.

Sweet, shy Melissa shows off her sexy side and WOW, she’s smokin’ hot. It’s always the quiet ones…

You are truly beautiful, Melissa. Inside and out.

Laura is a mother of two. Her kids are 3 and 1. She lives out in the country with her husband, the aforementioned little ones and a dog. She is also a trained physical therapist and one of my close friends. She is one of the kindest, most fun and delightful gals you could meet. It was my honor to make these images of her for my personal project.
