Adeline

After seeing some of our recent baby shower photos, Adeline's mom Kelly was inspired to have photos taken of her own beautiful 6-month-old. So, on a bright and sunny day in late June we met Adeline and her parents at the Portland Rose Gardens. Adeline couldn't have been a more charming baby or a better model. No matter where Kate and I were, Adeline watched and smiled, allowing us to capture the amazing baby wanderlust in her eyes.  What an absolutely delightful photo shoot with a lovely family and baby. 

Mel and Roger's Wedding

For Memorial Day 2011, Mel and Roger shared their very intimate wedding at the First Unitarian Church with us.  We felt truly lucky to be treated as extented members of their family and friends.  Their approach to the wedding was laid back and personal and the whole experience left us feeling full of hope and happiness for the newlyweds.  After the ceremony the entire wedding party (just under 20 people) jumped on a streetcar and headed to the fabulous Wildwood Restaurant for a cozy reception.  

We are so grateful to Mel and Roger and can't wait to see what the future holds for this blessed couple!  

Bring on the Baroque!!

The Wildwood Consort
Portland, OR

We recently had the pleasure of photographing the Wildwood Consort, a wonderful Portland-based Renaissance and Baroque trio complete with a flutist, a string player (lute, theorbo, bass and violin), and soprano singer - our beloved Mel.  The highlight of the photo shoot was when the group performed together,  music echoing through the studio, as we captured action shots. We're looking forward to seeing Wildwood perform on a big stage! 

Mel's Studio Portrait Session

Erin met Mel at a musical performances for the The Julian's all-women singing group (Mel is one of the group's talented singers).  Erin was immediately drawn to her confidence and personality.  Not long after the performance, Mel contacted Erin. It turns out that in addition to her musical career, Mel is the owner of a local business (Counterpoint Data Services ) and was looking for updated headshots to represent both of her seemingly opposite worlds. Enter Parallel Photography. 

Our goal was to create photographs that projected Mel's professionalism, along with her beauty and personality.  With her performing background, it wasn't a difficult task!  Thank you Mel for your support of our small business.  It has been a joy working with you!
