Black Friday Snowshoe 2012

As some of you may know, Nabil and I started a tradition a few years ago to go snowshoeing the day after Thanksgiving. It's a good opportunity to work off some of that massive turkey dinner (which was delicious, by the way) and avoid the Black Friday lines while hanging out with the fam. Last year, the weather was perfect, and we got some great photos.

This year, there were a few more clouds, but we were still able to avoid the rain. We had a big crew this year. Family and friends galore. This is me with one of my BFFs Brooke.

My sister and "pops" were also visiting for the holiday. Can you tell that we like to annoy him when given the opportunity. All in good fun.

Nabil's mom and Ken were also visiting (I told you, lots and lots of family). This was the first time that we met Ken. The morning after he got in town, we forced him out into the cold and up the mountain, but I think that he had fun in the end. We make a great first impression, huh?

And of course, the official Zerizef family snowshoe photo.

I'll stop blabbing now and just let you gander.

 

And that's all she wrote folks. These holiday weeks have been so busy, but we are having a great time with family and friends out here in Portland. Not to mention, I have been slowly booking up all my free time with some great photoshoots, so keep checking back. Much more to come.

Until next time...

Ali and Andy Engagement!!

A few weeks ago I was able to take Ali and Andy's engagement photos. I went to college with Ali, and we were roommates my senior year. It was so much fun to meet her sweet (and handsome) fiance. They are such a great couple, and I mean you can't really get a more gorgeous future bride than miss Ali. Am I right?!

Not only are they one of the cutest couples I have ever seen, but they can also tickle those... guitar strings and make it sound so sweet

Thanks again Ali and Andy! I'm so excited for you both. You make such a great couple!

Until next time...

The Beautiful Aparna

About a week ago, I had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful Aparna Brielle. She is an upcoming actress/model in the Portland area, and get this, she currently goes to my alma mater. That's right, Aparna  is a little freshy at Linfield College. I had a great time tromping around the water front with her, and we got some great shots too boot:

I told you all! Isn't this girl gorgeous?!

...and then came the rain. Or rather, the downpour. I made pour Aparna get wet so that I could get one more shot. But I think it was worth it, don't you:

Thanks Aparna! I had such a great time with you. I have no doubt in my mind that  you will go far in your actress/model career (after college :) )!

...until next time.
