These beautiful pieces of artwork are part of the ‘Art of the Amercian Soldier’ exhibit that showcases paintings and sketches in the line of duty. The exhibit holds over 15,000 pieces from 1,300 soldiers. These pieces were previously never-before-seen by the public.

The showing is currently on display in Philadelphia. Starts September 24th, 2010 and runs to January 10, 2011.

More information at their website.

I personally hope that the show will make it’s way to Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington where we at OneBloom will get a chance to look at all of this amazing piece of unseen history. We love inspiration.

A young friend and mother was the victim of a sudden mild stroke. OneBloom was happy to help support! A silent auction was organized at the Salmon Creek Applebees in Vancouver, Washington – and all the money raised went to help Dawn. We raised over $4000.00 at the event!

OneBloom auctioned off two portrait packages! Everything was well received! Thanks to all that helped support!

If you would like to donate, please contact me and I will be happy to help!

A good crowd showed up!

$5.00 got you a nice pancake breakfast, all proceeds to support Dawn!

We really wanted to win this prize...

This is the front of the business card, I wanted to create something that had a modern and clean look. With a minimalistic design style.

On the back of the card, I wanted it to be consistent with the front when it is flipped over.

After a lot of editing, coding, hard work, some procrastination and one final late night…

The sister site is finished!

Check it out! In all it’s simple HTML glory.

The site is meant to be simple , easy and fast to navigate. Free of clutter but while still providing useful content.

The site will make it easier for couples looking for a Portland Oregon wedding photographer.

On the site I have added three categories to the portfolio for personal work.

• Places
• Art
• Conceptual

(Places Photography – a collection of landscapes and beautiful scenes)

(Art Photography – a collection of personal photography and concepts )

(Conceptual Photography – a collection of concepts and ideas that I have explored)

Please enjoy the new photography on the website, I will continue adding to the photography portfolio as I have time to create new images.

I love photography, it is a passion that pays me when I get to share my personal work with everyone. Creating beautiful things and capturing memories and unique moments is so important.

All images are also available for sale, please contact me if you would like more information.

Happy Halloween from OneBloom Photography!

We hope that you enjoy your Friday night and are safe!

In case you were wondering what a photographers carved pumpkin might look like, mine is in the middle, my girlfriends is on the left and my friends pumpkin is on the right!

I spent way too much time carving mine!

That’s right. We’re introducing the coolest albums ever created.

Imagine your wedding or portraits inside of a glass or even a metal cover with textured, colored leather bindings. Open it up and you can have metallic paper or a gloss.

You can play it cool and conservative too…but why would you want to?

If you currently are waiting to order your Asukabook album, ask us about upgrading to Finao!
