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.

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!

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...

Magic being performed by Brian Hagen!

The Stuart Family needed some great photos to remember their new family by! It was the perfect day to be outside in the park in Vancouver, WA for some family photos. We spent an hour walking around and getting a lot of great photographs of their family and watching their baby play! What a great day in the sun for their family portraits!

Thanks guys! Enjoy the pictures of your new family!

The Bride, Holly in the hotel elevator!

Classy. That’s the best way to describe Tony and Holly’s amazingly beautiful wedding here in Portland, Oregon at the Aquariva Hotel and Spa next to the Willamette River on October 3rd, 2009.

Tony and Holly got ready in the beautiful hotel suite and then moved outside to meet with friends and family, just as we were starting to snap some amazing photos – the rain started! They decided to go ahead and begin the small, private wedding ceremony overlooking the river when the rain stopped! As the clouds gave way to sun, we started quickly shooting again and got amazing images from around the area!

The reception inside the Aquariva lounge was equally as beautiful and elegant. Soon, everyone was dancing the night away celebrating the newlyweds!

Congrats Tony + Holly!

Their dog wanted in on the 1st look too!

Wow! What a wedding! Set on the Oregon coast near Seaside, Oregon in Gearhart, Oregon – Calvin and Sheelah got married as the sunset on the West Coast on 9/19/09.

The weather called for rain for the day – but a miracle happened and the day was simply perfect. A huge celebration after the ceromony began with a lot of great food and drinks! Beautifully made decorations with candle light and Christmas lights surrounded the area as everyone celebrated with Calvin and Sheelah; soaking in one of the last great remaining nights of an amazing Northwest summer!

A Great Staircase...

I loved the light!
