Gorge-ous!

We took the opportunity this weekend to get out of town for the afternoon and hit the Columbia River Gorge for some waterfall hiking. And since our girl was at her grandparents we had to find other material to photograph. We stopped at Elowah and Multnomah Falls (always a classic!) and with the winter rain both were plenty full and running strong. Man, I love where we live! I sometimes forget how quick it is to get out to the Gorge and how beautiful it is even in the winter. Plus, heading east provides a good excuse for going to the Grilled Cheese Grill!

Announcing!

Who doesn’t love the beach? Well, okay, I know one or two people, but they are not us. We LOVE the beach and try to spend as much time there as possible during the summer months. Considering the fact we are there so often, it made sense to take a couple weekends and mix business with pleasure. So with that, we’d like to announce two dates that we will be offering photo sessions in the Cannon Beach/Manzanita area for the summer of 2010… drumroll, please…

Saturday, June 26 and Saturday, July 31

There will be no travel fees for these special dates. We will be there ready to capture you, your family, kids, dog, cat, or group at the beach.

We are looking forward to an excellent summer and hope you’ll join us on the north coast! Contact us at info@photomacy.com to book a spot.

Below are some fun shots from our own fun family time last year at Pacific City with a couple of kids who had never seen the ocean before.

Out of Thousands

A friend recently asked us if we could check through our catalogs of photographs for a specific type of photograph–one that was vertical and included either objects or patterns. I scanned through thousands of photos to see what we had that might fit her needs and was able to put together a collection of pictures, but through the process quickly recognized the great majority of our photos fall into one of two categories: people or nature. It was fun to cruise through pictures we have taken over the past five years and to take a break from all the kid cuteness, I thought it would be fun to put up a random collection of photos whose common denominator is that they are vertical. Don’t worry, we’ll get back to cuteness soon enough…

Sweet Thing

We do want to catch you up on the past months of photo sessions and will be doing so over the next few weeks (or months, depending on how long it takes), but first we want to share about a more recent photo session. Sweetest Thing CupCakes opened their doors in Newberg, Oregon in the fall and in January we had the opportunity to do a shoot with a local family. We arrived ahead of them and took the time to have a cupcake ourselves, but we couldn’t resist taking a few snaps of both the delicious cupcakes and also the tastefully decorated shop. We sent the photos to the owners and, as it turns out, they needed photos for their website and used ours. Check out their site at sweetestthingcupcakes.com or become a fan of their Facebook page.

If you’re looking for a great venue for a party, need catering for an event, or are a bride looking for a fun alternative to traditional cake, Sweetest Thing CupCakes is the place to go. It’s a fun location and a great place for a photo session–we look forward to shooting there again (and having the excuse to eat more cupcakes)!

If you couldn’t tell, we are pleased to announce the official launch of Photo Macy–a creative venture that feeds our love of photography and people. This idea was set in motion somewhere between Auckland and Nairobi, but has been growing in our minds for much longer. If you have read our personal blog, Shift, you have been hearing some hints about this and we are very pleased to be getting things off the ground. In some ways it feels like we have been pedaling backwards, keeping up with the photo sessions we have already booked and trying to get the business we are really already doing actually started. A good and funny place to be. Check out our website to see our portfolio and pricing.
