This sunny December day was full of exploring small town neighborhoods (found some gems), way too much laughing & feeling nostalgic with Bubble gum! A huge thanks to Riley & Cassie for brightening my Wednesday afternoon!







In the PNW there is no shortage of rain, so November begins the search for creative shooting locations! Airbnbs have been the most fun discovery for escaping the dreary weather! Who wouldn't want a cozy, comfy shoot that involves actually drinking coffee and cuddling in blankets?
This Airbnb was literally the DREAM (link at bottom)! So, if you dig these vibes & aren't feeling like a rainy shoot, then start searching some Airbnbs! Make a weekend out of it - you get photos AND a mini vacay all in one place! I'll even bring the coffee! ;)
Need some suggestions in the Portland area? I've low key made a list (there are SO many cute ones) - so, shoot me a message and let's chat!
Enjoy all the cozy vibes, give Carson & Savannah some love, and feel inspired for what your winter shoot could look like!!
airbnb - The Greenwood Villa (Medford, OR) - THEY ARE AMAZING!
I'm always willing to drive the extra hours for a good shooting location - I just plug in a podcast or some solid tunes, grab coffee & enjoy the good headspace. It's a therapeutic thing, really. Driving is a good space to rest (and not stare at a screen).
The coast never seems to disappoint either! Even if it's a 3 hour drive to catch the last 40 minutes of the golden hour, COUNT ME IN!
Have some rad location ideas and want to shoot together? Message me! I'm ready for another drive!
I'll take any reason to hang out in the city! Thankful for an afternoon filled with wanderings & photos with the lovely Maddie Hays! Here are a few gems from the day!
Also, Maddie has a rad blog that you should be sure to check out!

Worth every bit of waking up at 4:30 am for this sunrise shoot! The rocks & the smiles really can't be beat! I'd go back to Smith Rock any day.
