Well, I am happy to announce that I had my first
Oregon magazine shoot - this Saturday afternoon.
I photographed a 7 year-old's golf-themed birthday party for
Mom Magazine. The shoot was located at
Golf City, which is both a miniature golf course AND a 9 hole par 3. It is pretty well known in Corvallis for the super friendly staff and well stocked bar (I know, because I've played it twice already).
This is the lucky Birthday boy, who was
all smiles after his round. His supercool Mom, coerced him into wearing these silly glasses for me. I ONLY got three shots...
All the kids played mini-golf, these two golfers were serious about the sport (and their golf attire) which I loved.
The golf themed cupcakes were cute
(and delicious) and baked by Jessica over at
Rocketqueen Cupcakes. A total hit with the kids, this party made me wish I could bake tasty cupcakes. And be 7 again.
Most of the time, I photograph babies, adults, products (furniture, shoes, toys) and pets. I have photographed a live birth and do (at most) six weddings per year. So, when I was asked by a good friend in Chapel Hill to photograph her son's Bar Mitzvah, I was surprised because live events are not my specialty. I have NEVER shot anything like that (technically, I hadn't even been inside a synagogue). But I absolutely wanted to do it.
The food was absolutely amazing. Daisy Cakes did the sweets table and I loved shooting such delicious looking (and tasting) desserts.
One of my most memorable moments from this event was being the only person present when the rabbi blessed Ben before his ceremony. Since photographers are not allowed in the sanctuary, she let me get these few shots, of him practicing and being blessed.
