The Herbigs and the Herchls are so much fun!

I had an absolute BLAST photographing the lovely Herchl family. My friends Amy & Terry Herbig gifted their dear friends John, Jennifer and their little guy Carson with a photo session - they all live in Seattle and came down to Portland for the shoot. Of COURSE it was FREEZING and rainy at times - but that didn't stop us! We started in their funky, colorful suites at Northrup Station which was a FABULOUS place to shoot - I was in heaven! Once the weather mellowed out a bit we went outside. All the kiddos were just fabulous and adorable. John and Jen, it was fantastic meeting you and your adorable Carson, and Amy and Terry, ALWAYS such a pleasure - Emerson and Trenton are amazing.... thanks to you all and enjoy the Slideshow!

Hope to see many of you there, it's going to be so much fun!

Tomorrow morning I'm off to Hawaii to photograph Matt and Jenni's wedding on Saturday. I return only to leave again the next day for the San Francisco area where I'll be photographing Wes and Christine's wedding! What a fabulous way to officially kick off the busy wedding season! I'll be back in the studio April 29th. In the meantime, Angie will be holding the fort down... she'll be checking emails while I'm away and will watch for RSVPs for the mini sessions! You can always call my cell phone and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Aloha!

Meet Angie!

As some of you know, one of my dreams recently came true... I now have a Studio Manager to help me run Katie Jervis Photography (soon to be Kate Kelly Photography)! Angie is a dream come true! She began working with me one day a month in September, and as of March, she's been working 30 hours per week! Angie has a brilliant personality, a creative eye, passion for photography and is highly efficient and organized. She is helping me bring structure to the studio, catch up on projects I'm behind on and is taking care of so many day-to-day tasks! Our goal is to provide the very best service and experience possible! Many of you may recognize her - Angie and Aaron were married in Negril, Jamaica in May of 2007 and I was fortunate enough to be their photographer! Stay tuned for exciting news and updates from the studio... and join me in welcoming Angie!

Ashley + Josh's E-Session!

The other week both Ashley and Josh were in town so we scheduled their e-session! Of course it poured all morning - because of crazy schedules, we decided to power through and were going to do the session in my home studio utilizing some gorgeous natural light I have going on! Sure enough, it cleared up right as they arrived, so we ended up shooting both in my home studio AND around my neighborhood!

Ashley and Josh are so cute together and I can't wait to photograph their August wedding at the fabulous Lewis River Golf Club

Thanks, guys! Looking forward to seeing you in August!

Beautiful details from Natalie + Sean's wedding!
