We Have Moved!

2009-05-10T17:22:00.001-07:00

After a lot of look at my blogging style and where I want to go with the blog, I decided it was best to move it over to another blogging service that can help me meet some more of my goals.

Come on over to our new blog Oregon Natural Foods and see what we are blogging about. We will be talking about our photography ventures, our animals, our small plot of land, our children, our cooking and many, many other things.

Please change your feeds to now follow www.OregonNaturalFoods.com sorry about the inconvenience.

Wilamette Valley Bridal Show

2008-01-22T06:44:00.000-08:00

Yellow Cow Photo was an exhibitor at the Wilamette Valley Bridal Show. It was a huge success. I will post photos of the booth very soon.

We were only supposed to have half of a table, but I ended up with a whole table instead, which made me very happy indeed!

I got to meet a lot of great clients, and I am looking forward to shooting their upcoming weddings!

Remember, I am offering 10% off for anyone that was at the bridal show!

Engagement Session

2007-11-18T10:12:00.000-08:00

Here are some photos from an engagement session that I did with Heather and James. They were adorable, and it was the first time that I had ever shot while on a carousel.

I am looking forward to their wedding next year.

Last Wedding of the Season

2007-11-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow my 2nd photographer, Brandon, and I are heading out for the last wedding of the season. I am feeling a little sad this season is over. I still have some photos to edit, but for the most part, the season is over, and it has been a serious blast. The couples have been amazing to work with.

I only hope the next season is as good as this one has been. More on the changes for next year coming up in some more posts. Stay tuned.

Seriously Good Eats!

2007-11-01T20:04:00.000-07:00

I recently worked with Amalfi's at a wedding. They are a caterer, and a good one at that. The food at the wedding was amazing, actually some of the best of this entire wedding season. If you are still looking for a wedding caterer, check them out because I am sure that you will not feel sorry.

Happy Halloween!

2007-10-31T07:44:00.001-07:00

Hello Everyone!

Happy Halloween for all of you out there in cyber land.

I am celebrating my carving a pumpkin, working, going trick or treating with Daphne and baking oatmeal raisin cookies for Jared!

Tomorrow, NaBloPoMo starts, which means I will be posting daily on all three of my blogs. Tune in!

Quaint Backyard Wedding

2007-10-30T13:34:00.001-07:00

This was a quaint and adorable backyard wedding. Congratulations you two!

Jessica and Alfonso

I am a little behind on posting photos of weddings, but I wanted to share some from this wedding with you because I think some of them are just stunning. They are a little different than my normal style because it was a very traditional wedding, which is different than I am used to doing. There are lots of color images from the wedding, but the black and white ones are my favorites.
Little kids dancing in the aisles of weddings make for great photos.
This flower girl was on top of her job!
Quick kiss in a limo.
These dancing photos are a little outside of my normal range of photos, but here are some of the more "artsy" and unique ones that I took.

I just love this series with the groom and his silly friends.

Wedding Season Ends

2007-10-08T10:57:00.000-07:00

The wedding season is quickly coming to a close, with my final wedding coming up on November 4th. I am taking some time off during the winter to play with my new baby girl!

It is also time for me to look at and reflect over the wedding season that is coming to a close and to get revved up for and make new ideas/packages/promotions, etc. for the wedding season that is to come.

One thing I am going to change is my blog. I am going to start blogging about not only my weddings with some images from each (I will be on top of it this time, I promise), I will be blogging about ideas for brides. They will be tips to make the wedding go more smoothly, especially from a planning aspect. Look forward to this because I get my information from various places and adapt it for my brides and myself.

Keep reading. I am looking forward to the future now.

Swamped

2007-09-30T07:01:00.001-07:00

I am swamped right now with wedding edits, but when I see a clearing, I will be putting some more photos up.

And, I have some big announcements, but I'm withholding them for a couple days.

The New 40D

2007-09-30T06:58:00.000-07:00

Canon recently announced the release of a new camera, the 40D. It was to be predicted since they had a 20D and a 30D.

But I can't see a reason to upgrade. I love my 30D, it got me through the current wedding season beautifully. I had no problems and it really behaved itself. This camera takes beautiful photographs, and I do not feel a technical limitation to it at all. It can handle my big lens and my big flash, and it takes some amazing photos.

So, no upgrade for me. I'm sticking with the 30D for a while!

Historic Overlook House

2007-09-07T10:15:00.000-07:00

The Yellow Cow Photo team has gone out and done it again. I am a little behind on my blogging and photos from recent weddings because it is the height of the season and I have been running around like mad trying to get things done. I am told, such is life, and I need to get on top of it!

Here are some photos from a gorgeous couple. Their wedding was at the historic overlook house in Portland. It was a gorgeous wedding.

New Art Show Up

2007-09-03T21:31:00.000-07:00

I hung an art show on Friday in Sellwood.

It was good to get a show up again. It is the same show I have had up before with some of my favorite photos from Greece. I have decided that this is not going to be the only show I do in a while. I like to do it and get my name out there a little bit. Plus, it is always a bonus to get some pieces sold.

It is at a Better Choice Health center off 17th street in Sellwood. Very exciting!

Baby on White Background

Baby in Food (Baby Food!!!)

Baby in Bathrobe

Here is an example of a photo shoot that I did of a baby in her bathrobe.

New Website Coming

2007-07-26T10:48:00.000-07:00

We have a new website coming along. I will post a link and some information when it is officially done, but for now, all you have to know about is that I am excited and that you will hear more soon.

Mcminnville Grand Ballroom Wedding

2007-07-25T10:49:00.000-07:00

This couple was absolutely fabulous. They have a lot of life and love in them, and they were such a pleasure to photograph. I couldn't have asked for a better day to work with them as well. The weather was perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. Here are some photos from the occasion that I rather enjoyed.

I love the Mcminnville Grand Ballroom as well. It is perfect for a reception. I thought it was just beautiful.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Oaks Pioneer Church Wedding

2007-07-19T21:16:00.000-07:00

This was a really beautiful wedding. I just wanted to share some of the photos with you. One of my favorite places to shoot is Oaks Pioneer Church. It is always possible to go down to the docks after the wedding to take some photos of the couple with Portland in the background, and I liked this one a lot. Congratulations to the happy couple.

Baby Concierge

2007-07-06T22:59:00.000-07:00

I am now a believer that it is possible to make money doing almost anything. People are so creative in life, and I like that in this free market society that our civilization has expanded to such an extent that we are able to have people that can do some truly random thing.

I ran into this website the other day. I only wish that I had though of this before I had my daughter recently. For my maternity and newborn clients out there--consider it if you are in a position to do so. I think it is creative and simply fascinating.

Some Changes

2007-06-24T12:11:00.000-07:00

Hello!

Just to make things a little bit random in your life, I am expanding quite a bit, and there are some things that you need to know.

This blog, http://yellowcowphoto.blogspot.com , is now a blog devoted solely to my photography business www.YellowCowPhoto.com.

The blog that used to be here has moved, but only slightly. This is the blog that was full of random thoughts, my trip journals through Europe and, most recently, my experiences as a new mother (complete with photos). I will continue to keep it, but if you want to read it, you have to go to http://ycplife.blogspot.com . Sorry if this is confusing. Jared has been referring a lot of people here recently to see new photos of Daphne, so just put the http://ycplife.blogspot.com link in your bookmarks, and you are set. I will give free tech support to anyone that needs help doing this. Just email me.

My new food blog is http://ycpfood.blogspot.com

The food blog was made to quench my growing thirst for dissemination of weird food facts, recipes, random events and other things. Feel free to check it out and to check back occasionally because it will feature things from freezing strawberries with that amazing solid known as dry ice to making sun dried tomatoes from the freshest summer tomatoes.

Read one blog or read them all, I'm enjoying the expansion.

I'm open for emails or questions, as always.
