This past Friday/Saturday Dan and I spent with David Jay who is the owner of ShowIt Sites (a great company that has software you can make your own custom websites with). He flew in from Santa Barbara to chat with onOne and to visit with us. We hooked him up with our "Bed and Breakfast". Well maybe bed and coffee? We actually have a little mini sign in our spare room that says Bed & Breakfast $2.00 per night. I know its silly....but we always have house guests so we thought it was funny. DJ however was the first to contribute! He left money and a tip! I was cracking up as we did not realize it until the day after he left! Thanks DJ! Was not necessary but it was awesome! We also spent some time with another local photographer Kevin Meyers. Kevin and DJ are old friends so we all met up and spent a little time in Kevin's awesome space in the Pearl District. Dan was in love with the old camera he had on display and we were taking turns playing with it. He had to remember how to load film...it was great. Thanks to both DJ and Kevin for hanging out! DJ....You are welcome here anytime! Hugs!

Karl and Emily were a blast to work with. What a beautiful couple! Dan and I had a great time with these two and being able to capture the love these two share was awesome. We took them around downtown portland. First stop was near OMSI and around the SE side of Portland to get some more grungy areas. Then we headed over to the Pearl District. Thanks to Karl and Emily for letting us take some engagements. We are very excited for the wedding in June!

Was awesome! We had a great time with everyone and wanted to say Thanks to those of you who came to celebrate. We really enjoyed sharing our new space! I dont really have photos from the event as I left my camera at home (oops!). But Larry Chen was kind enough to take a quick shot of us with a few of our friends. From left to right....Dan B., Jessica, Dan H., Me, Ann & Jeff.

I have been a bit behind so I wanted to make sure I gave a proper post of Greg and Haley's wedding. I added a few images and wanted to talk a little about the wedding. This was a fun wedding for us as there were three other couples in attendance that we had shot their wedding. We felt very much at home and almost all of the Groomsman (including Greg) were old pros at the formal photos. The wedding was in Eugene Oregon at Shadow Hills Country Club (ceremony was at a church). Greg and Haley had beautiful flowers that were provided by Dandelions in Eugene. Greg's mom owns Dandelions so the flowers were extra special. I also loved the awesome old car they had to take them from the church to Shadow Hills. Thanks to Greg and Haley for letting Dan and I share in your wonderful day. It was a pleasure working with you both...Welcome to the Bliss Family!

Can you believe it is already October? Where has the year gone? It always amazes me when I go into a store and see Christmas decor before we have even made it to halloween? Crazy. I have decided to do something fun for Halloween this year.

I am going to set up a fall scene in the studio and offer FREE halloween mini sessions! I would love to see all the costume ideas everyone comes up with. Plus wouldnt it be fun to have a professional photo for your adorable kids all dressed up? I will make the offer even better.....I will give away a $100.00 gift certificate for Bliss Studio to the BEST costume of the day!
