Kaitlyn Class of 2012 | Jefferson Oregon Senior Photography

Katlyn is my senior rep from Jefferson High School. Jefferson has a late (spring) yearbook deadline so Katlyn opted to do another session now so she'd have more recent senior photos (see her rep session from last April HERE) after having to reschedule due to massive flooding we finally were able to do her session today. Katlyn braved the rain and the cold and we got some great photos of her. Over the weekend I invested in some studio equipment and Katlyn got to act as my guinea pig =) Katlyn and I had a lot of fun getting shots the reflect her personality - even if we did have to dodge rain drops in the process!









Not only do my senior reps get to have a FREE senior session and earn credit toward prints and products, they also get to help their friends save money on their senior sessions! If you are in the class of 2013 and are interested in being a senior rep- email me for more info! danaejonesphotography@gmail.com

Breanne and Josh | Corvallis Engagement Photos

One of the favorite things I love about my job is being able to work with couples to create sessions and photos that reflect them and their style. In the past two weeks I have shot 3 engagement sessions and each one of them was a very different location and style, ranging from formal to very casual. I love seeing couples personalities reflected in poses and locations. For Breanne and Josh we started and Bald Hill in Corvallis and then headed to Oregon State University to take advantage of some of the great architecture there. Breanne and Josh were so much fun to work with and their smiles are infectious!














Thanks guys for spending the afternoon with me, I can't wait for your wedding this summer!
Don't forget to head on over to Facebook and check out some more of their photos!
As always, feel free to show Breanne and Josh some love in the comments, I'm sure they'd enjoy hearing from you!

Jessica and Garrett | Salem Engagement Photos

I got to spend a fun afternoon with Jessica and Garrett on Saturday. We started out at Mission Mill Museum and then headed down to the Salem Waterfront Park to catch some fun sunset shots. Jessica has been my second shooter at a couple weddings so it is a complete honor to get to capture her engagement photos and then her wedding in July!










Congrats Jessica and Garrett! I can't wait to celebrate with you both this summer!

Ethan and Corina | Portland Engagement Photography

This was an extra special session because Ethan is my little brother. The weather report kept going back and forth on whether or not it was going to rain...it rained. Pretty much the entire time. But Ethan and Corina braved the wind and rain and trekked around down town Portland with me finding fun places to shoot. Once I got over being forced to not only watch, but take photos of (and then later edit), my baby brother kissing a girl - we had a ton of fun! You may see Corina and Ethan pop up again on the blog in a few weeks (months?) when the sun comes out and we're able to get some shots in drier weather.










I'm so excited to have Corina in the family, really I couldn't have picked a better girl for Ethan and I'm glad I can call her my friend.
Congratulations you two!

as always there are more photos over on the Facebook page for you to check out. Don't forget to like the page (and in doing so enter the contest) while you're there!

Deborah and Luke 1-7-12 | Mission Mill Weddings

My wedding season started off early this year with Deborah and Luke's wedding at the Mission Mill Museum in Salem this past Saturday. It was my first time shooting at Mission Mill, but I sure hope I get to go back soon, the lighting was gorgeous and the grounds offer so many beautiful places to shoot both inside and out. Deborah and Luke had so many amazing flowers and decorations that they made themselves with their families help. I'm constantly amazed by my bride's incredible DIY and crafty abilities!











Don't forget to head on over to facebook and check out more of the photos from Deborah and Luke's wedding.

Grace | Albany, Oregon Toddler Portraits

When Grace's mom first contacted me about doing portraits of Grace for Christmas/to document her second birthday, she mentioned that Grace is a "very active toddler." I wrote that off thinking 'Yeah yeah, 'active toddler' - that's a redundant statement. Typically I can run the toddler until they are tired while getting action shots and then they are ready to sit and pose a little- Not Grace! Grace is the energizer bunny of toddlers. Despite freezing temperatures, we had a good time and were able to get quite a few great shots of Grace doing what she does best- running around! Grace loves balloons and her parents brought a bouquet of balloons that made for some really fun shots.
