Stacy + Jimmy | Portland, OR

Yesterday I told you about our foggiest shoot ever, but it wasn’t entirely true, because I think this one is even foggier (same day, different couple). There’s something about fog that makes a familiar place feel like a distant planet, and it’s always such a treasure to photograph something new, somewhere new.

Regardless of the setting, the key to a good portrait is the subject. And Stacey and Jimmy were perfect. The place was deserted and eerily quiet. It felt like they were the only two people left on earth, and they were happy about it. Stacey tried to pull some serious faces, but the giggles came too naturally, and that’s always a good sign.

Stacey and I were online friends long before we met in person (which means you’ll be instant friends in real life), so we were really happy to finally photograph her with her man.

Tanya + Joey | Vancouver, WA

I’ve been wanting to shoot in the fog for far too long. I thought you had to wake up at the crack of dawn for this to be possible, and that’s not so easy for me. But I dreamed about it (just like I dream about becoming a morning person). Then we had a crazy couple of days where the fog was thick and stuck around all day long. Conveniently enough, we had not one, but two portrait sessions scheduled on the foggiest day I ever did see. These photos were taken around 2pm!

This is Tanya and Joey, married for just half a year and oh so cute together. We explored the woods close to their home, where they’ve been going on walks for years since they’ve been dating, and recently married. The beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Tomorrow we’ll share another foggy shoot in Portland!
