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.

Congrats to Ava and Brandon! The summer air was perfect for their wedding. Thanks so much for having us photograph your wedding.

Every year we love to watch the fireworks. Just a little peak at what was at the Fort Vancouver Firework Display in Vancouver, Washington. This year was different, after not having fireworks set off in 2009 due to the budget – the show was somewhat scaled back from prior years. Only a 20 odd minute show and they were lit off of the runway of the Historical Pearson Airfield.We had a pass to go down the the airport to see the show!

Can’t wait until next year…

Sunset Light is Our Favorite!

Nicole and James are getting married in August! They wanted engagement photos taken in downtown Portland, Oregon and the weather was beautiful.

The best part about doing portraits outside is discovering and being inspired by interesting areas along the way – and capturing the beautiful sunset light!

The weather won’t stay this way forever – book your portrait photography session now!

Fantastic!

Well, it’s been a rainy May here in Portland, Oregon and at OneBloom Photography we’ve still been busy! For this family portrait photography session, the client wanted a rainy day – and that is exactly what was delivered. We got soaked – and we also got some great shots! It’s a little more of a challenge to shoot in the rain but it was well worth the extra effort! The session started at the Sellwood Bridge Park in Portland, OR and moved onto downtown Portland. The entire session was a ton of fun and only lasted two hours! Talk about a lot of great shots and interesting locations!

Personally, I love the photos and I’m so happy the sun even came out! But, I can’t wait for some nice sunny weather to head our direction! Book your family photography session now!

The photos were taken in Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon. We covered three seperate locations in the course of two hours. It rocked.

Thanks Erin and Ben! Enjoy the photos!

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!

The OneBloom Photography Display

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...

Magic being performed by Brian Hagen!
