Portland Art Museum’s recent exhibit, La volupté du goût: French Painting in the Age of Madame de Pompadour will be open from February 7 - March 17, 2009. To celebrate the exhibit, Portland Art Museum put on a gala. Curated by Philippe Le Leyzour, Director, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Tours, and Penelope Hunter-Stiebel, Consulting Curator of European Art, Portland Art Museum. The Portland installation design and interpretation were led by Chief Curator Bruce Guenther and Tina Olsen, Director of Education and Public Programs. This exhibition has received major organizational support from FRAME (French Regional and American Museum Exchange).
Vibrant Table did a tremendous job in decorating the event. Everything was top class. The resulting affect was amazing and it was one of the most wonderfully designed events we’ve ever seen produced from Vibrant Table! Music by Ruslan String Quartet and Design Band!
Here’s some of our favorite highlights from the event:

Recently we joined Lauren and Channing (of Portland Trailblazers) for a fun and romantic engagement session at their home along the Willamette River and down into the neighborhood and near the river. Of course, their two bulldogs (American and British bulldogs) joined us for the shoot as well - who can say no to these cute pups! We’ll be shooting their wedding later this summer.
Here some highlights from the engagement session -

Here are some new baby and family portraits. My style is a more artistic, relaxed, capture-the-moment one as opposed to the traditional (boring) mall studio stuff and I am trying a more casual approach to portraits that is designed to capture moments while still making grandma and grandpa happy. Let me know what you think!
