Living in California for the last five + years has left me spoiled. I wake up almost every morning to the sun and get to spend my lunch breaks at the beach. It’s the reason I chose to move here and is a huge part of why I stay.
The only time I get a little bummed out is during the holidays. Growing up in Portland trained me to think of winters full of rain (of course), cold temperatures, and the possibility of a few snow days here and there. Just as important as the weather change during the season is the change of wardrobe. My bank account may not miss it, but I love shopping for winter coats, sweaters, and boots. Each season brings a change, more dramatic than LA and sometimes forced change, whether in attire or anything else is nice.
I think that is what inspired me to set up as shoot with April and Derrick while I was home for the holidays. We started the shoot at the beautiful Westin Dowtown Portland then headed to a home in the hills close to my heart. It was fiiireeezing so we hooked April and Derrick up with some piping hot apple cider and lots of whip cream, yum! I was so impressed with these two. They are adorable together and were the perfect pair for my vision of this blustery, winter shoot.
April worked it. Just sayin’
One of my favorites, it’s SO Portland.
