I now offer Gift Certificates.

Adele — Wed, 11 May 2011 17:42:34 +0000

Hello everyone,

Thank you for stopping by today. I am really excited to now offer Gift Certificates. I believe giving someone the gift of a professional portrait session is high up there on the list of awesome gifts. It could be a birthday gift, a baby shower gift or just a “i love you” gift. I am really happy to now be able to provide new and old clients with this neat little personal gift. If this is something that you are interested in, please contact me for more information on how this works and please share this with friends/family.

Thank you, Adele XOXO

Clint & Tricia {Engagement} Maui, HI

Adele — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:06:26 +0000

Remember that time I photographed an engagement session in 10 minutes in Maui? Yeah um it was awesome. There is so so much that can be said about this gorgeous couple.

They were such a pleasure to work with. Tricia is a friend of mine and when she asked me to photograph them in Maui, I got all giddy. Who doesn’t want to shoot in Maui right?

I do NOT normally shoot in only 10 minutes. This day was absolutely crazy and everything that could go wrong while traveling pretty much went wrong and I ended up only having a few minutes until dark to shoot. The weather forecast for the week was absolutely dreary and I wanted to make sure I get some shots of sunshine in Paradise before the rain came.

Clint and Tricia I can not thank you enough for a wonderful experience. No rain, wind, mudslide or floods could stop us from capturing your love for each other. Hold on tight to each other because what you have is special.

Seth & Tera {Couple} Cannon Beach, OR

Adele — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 21:57:55 +0000

Some of you might recognize Tera from earlier posts. Tera is my good friend and neighbor. These Images were taken right after Seth returned from Afghanistan. We celebrated his birthday and homecoming by making a trip to Portland and Cannon Beach, OR.

What a crazy photo session. I had to climb down a mountain to get to the beach to shoot the last 15 minutes before the sun set. This is the first time I shoot so close to the water during sunset and it was bright. I love the warm tones we got and the experience was definitely one to remember. Here are a few of my favorites.

Thank you Tera and Seth for being such good friends. Hopefully we can make a trip to Cannon beach again soon.

Jeremy & Natasha {TTD} – Natchitoches, LA

Adele — Fri, 21 May 2010 20:26:34 +0000

These Images I took a little over a year ago in Louisiana. We used to live in Fort Polk, LA for about 8 months, and I have to admit the first few months I just wanted to get out of there, but Louisiana and it’s people grew on me. So much so, that I miss those days.

Jeremy and Natasha wanted some pictures done, and we did a “Trash the dress” without the trashing of the dress. So maybe it’s a day after session. Also not really because when these Images were taken, they have already been married for over a year. I guess this session can’t really be labeled. The only thing I can say about this day is, these two were great. They were so willing to do whatever I told them to. I have sweet memories of them.

Location : Natchitoches, Louisiana

Ps. I almost forgot to mention. This was my first session with a Tilt-Shift. I also never used it again after this, until now. #Weird.

Julia & Yuriy {Part 1} Mentor Session

Adele — Mon, 03 May 2010 23:21:42 +0000

I would like to thank Sean Flanigan for his willingness to share his knowledge and experiences with me. We spend a whole day talking about photography and our love / passion for what we do.

Sean is a huge inspiration to me. He is not only a great photographer, but also a genuinely kind person. One of the best parts of the day was probably when I got to photograph this gorgeous couple Julia & Yuriy with him. At first I was worried not being able to get over my shyness and then the rainy cold weather was worry #2, but something about the way Sean approached this session with almost no fear, gave me the assurance that I’ll be just fine….. Oh and those High Fives. Thank you!

I adore these Images. This couple was truly amazing. Their love for each other is so apparent. I am lucky to have met you two.
