East Valley Senior Portraits

Senior portraits for East Valley High School students may be one of my favorite things to do, but I am biased as an EVHS Alumni. I had such a great time at the EVHS photo fair that I decided to do a special blog post with a special offer just for EVHS students! I’ve compiled some of my favorite photos from the last couple of years and posted them below. I’ve had the opportunity to revisit my old stomping grounds by doing photographs at East Valley, in Millwood and Mirabeau Parks and even down on the Centennial Trail. If you visited with me at the photo fair just mention this post and you’ll get $25 off of my Standard or Deluxe senior portrait package! Spots are limited this summer so don’t hesitate, schedule today!

Mission Mill Museum Wedding – Salem, OR

May was an unseasonably warm and dry month this year in Oregon, which thankfully made for great wedding weather for Nicole & Russell’s wedding at The Mission Mill Museum in Salem. The ceremony was held in the Spinning Room and it was just beautiful! I had such a great time and came up with so many amazing images that I have broken my blog post into at least two postings. Today we have the “Getting Ready” portion. Of course Nicole was the star of the show, but these flower girls gave her a run for her money. How adorable are they? Also I loved the bold fuchsia accents that were incorporated wherever they would fit! Grey and fuchsia everywhere! I loved the bridesmaid dresses, they were perfect for the weather and looked great on all of the girls. and did you see the details on her dress? Stunning!My wonderful second photographer was hanging out with the boys while I covered the ladies getting dressed. If you can’t tell these groomsmen know how to have fun! Matching beer steins made up the groomsmen gifts and they made sure to keep them full while waiting for the ladies to get ready! We nearly had an escape, but they were able to wrangle him back in. Images like this are why I always recommend a second photographer, you’ve got to capture the whole story! More posts are soon to follow. I just need to narrow down my favorites from the posed photos, ceremony and the reception!

How to Look Good in Race Photos – Eugene Marathon 2013 Edition

Yesterday was the 2013 Eugene Marathon and LaDuke Photography had the awesome opportunity to shoot the start of the race from a boom lift over Agate Street as well as having exclusive access to the finish line in Hayward Field. It was truly inspiring to see everyone running through the streets of Eugene. Runners are some dedicated and sometimes crazy folk! The sense of community was also touching, so many finishers ended the race with their hands over their hearts as a show of support for victims of the attack on the Boston Marathon. I couldn’t help but get choked up a couple of times.

In photographing 8900 dedicated souls crossing the marathon finish line I learned a thing or two about what is going to make for the best finish photos, and I feel like the photo says plenty, but I have also included a few pointers below.

  • Enthusiasm is EVERYTHING! It is my job to capture everyone who crosses the line, but if you are looking at your watch you get one or two quick snaps. People with a big smile who are celebrating their achievements are like magnets and get many more photos.
  • Emotion of any sort will be gravitated to by photographers.
  • Unique outfits – Did you know The Devil is a Red Sox fan?
  • Also, kudos to the guys who had the energy to do push ups at the finish line after the run!

Smiling faces and big emotional moments are what we love to photograph and what will REALLY look great on your desk to motivate you for the next big race.

Rustic Woodsy Engagement – Fall Creek, Oregon

Spring has finally come to the Willamette Valley! Recently I had the opportunity to go to Bedrock Campground on Fall Creek to do an engagement session for Alison and Corey. They chose this rustic photo location to go along with their intimate outdoor wedding that is coming up this July at Shotgun Creek State Park. I can’t wait to see what little details the wedding planner, Imagine Weddings and Events has up their sleeve. That coupled with the super amazing baked goods made by the bride herself is a recipe that couldn’t keep me away! Stay tuned!
