Emily King....Papers Edge

So last year I had the chance to take some pictures for my friend Emily and her AMAZING company Papers Edge. Not only does she have an the coolest art, she has an great, clean style that I love. And you will too.
A few days ago Nie Nie featured her work on her blog and her artist interview...go here
It is super fun seeing my photos in print again, and her great interview.
I need to scan the beautiful art she did for my Ella and Zach. She made each around their room colors and likes...beautiful.
Go see her stuff...she sells limited edition prints and things go fast. I am in LOVE with her missionary piece and want it for my sister.
See her full interview and my pictures here.
Lovely work Emily...I wish you all the success in the world!

Bates Senior Pictures {Portland, Oregon Senior Photographer}

There is something really great about talking senior pictures. It takes me back to the good old days of when I used to put a small beauty mark above my mouth to make me look more like Cindy Crawford. (don't be jealous you didn't think of it first) Which as a strawberry blonde is sorta hard to pull off.
But high school was a great time for me...I loved it. First loves, first time I got my license suspended (long story, but I am the BEST driver now trust me), I even went to college to be a music teacher..that is until I actually student taught in a high school and then changed my major to PR in my last year. Oh the choices and craziness. Good times. Good times.
Well onto this beauty. She is a stunner and pretty dang sweet..I loved that she is an equestrian. (I hope I used this term correctly, I know nothing about horses except that they are big, and seem pretty nice). Anyway, she had an awesome outfit and I loved how her pictures turned out. Here are a few of my favorites.
Thanks Rachel! Good luck with everything in your last year of high school.
