Another Adventure

La Belle Fille and I decided to meet up on the Lane Community College campus where we both take classes and do a quick shoot. After checking out a few spots we agreed that we might have better luck if we headed downtown. Little did we know, we were in for another adventure! We hopped on a bus and soon found ourselves heading the wrong direction. A passenger overhead our concern and informed us we were on our way to a nearby town and the round trip would take an hour. The first couple photos here were taken along the side of the freeway on our walk back to school...

After getting back to the school and on the right bus, we made it downtown. Our next stop was the church we had tried to shoot at the last time we met up. It was there that we finally had a lucky break! The front porch and stairs of the building were perfectly lit and completely abandoned.

Thanks to Belle for another entertaining and unpredictable afternoon!

Oscar the Cheerful

The weather has started to be consistently beautiful and that means it's time to bring out the summer fashion! And if anyone has a good sense of style, it's this little boy right here. Meet Oscar and his mother Kristin.

I met up with these two at the Knight Library on the University of Oregon campus to take some family photos. This guy is quickly gaining height, and no one could stand the thought of his Easter outfit from last month going undocumented! So we began our mission. 

Oscar was extremely patient with us as we set him up in a couple of different seating areas around the building. And of course, he quickly developed a fan club! It was a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. Thanks to Kristin and Oscar for being such happy company!
