One week ago I had my first engagement photo shoot of the year. We went to the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge where it’s a little more dry in early spring. It was raining days before and after so we lucked out with the perfect weather. Elena and Mike are very easy to be around so working with them was more than fun. I’m looking forward to the wedding day already. I have heard that hiking in high heels is a bad idea, Elena proved them otherwise. She was amazing, completely undaunted by her attire and the mission. We had to climb a few steep patches with big boulders. I was pretty impressed by her high heel climbing abilities.

A few weeks ago I photographed Kylie in Hood River. We ended up finishing the session in the studio after we lost the light and froze a little.
