Charis Charis Charis

Charis Bumstead, (Charis, meaning Grace in Greek) turning one years old! I can hardly believe it! I remember taking her new-born pictures and it seemed like yesterday. What a precious child she has become! Here's just one picture as a preview. More to come!

New Headshots

Here are a couple favorite new headshots I took for various clients!

Exotic Gemstones Shoot

I recently had the awesome opportunity to photograph Heather and Adel Tennant for my client, Exotic Gemstones LLC aka Oregon Sunstone. The jewelry is mined right here in Oregon and designed by our loved Karla Proud, the owner of Oregon Sunstone! Here are a couple of our favorites!

Shevlin Reserve Residence

Bend Living Magazine Cookbook

Published for the November/ December issue of Bend Living Magazine, here are a couple images I shot for their cookbook section. The theme was New World Thanksgiving and I think it turned out nicely!

Case Kitchen and Bathroom

I recently finished shooting an awesome kitchen and bathroom in Broken Top done by Case Remodeling.

Lexie Goss Model Portfolio

Business has been very busy- in a good way, no complaints, but sorry I haven't posted anything recently. I have a goal of doing that today!

This shoot was for a model's portfolio, Lexie Goss. This was her first time in front of the camera and she did a great job! Here's some highlights!

Norway... Food and Chefs

I was recently hired to go to Norway to be a co-host of a food/travel TV show and to photograph the food and culture of the Norwegian Cuisine. I came away with some great photos that incorporate the lifestyle and passion behind the chefs and dining experience. Here is just a sneak peak at some of my favorites. The trip ranged from visiting some of the top chefs in Norway and their restaurants to going to the fish market or seeing a chef's eye's light up as they smell the freshly picked mushrooms from a nearby mountainside. (picture shown). The last picture shown is of a Sami man (indigenous Norwegian people) cook us Reindeer stew right over an open fire and sitting on reindeer skin. If I wasn't there myself, I'd think it was unbelievable! For the show, my husband and I were also taken around the country just like tourists to see the culture and picturesque scenery of beautiful Norway. What an awesome experience!

Staccato's Restaurant

Food....

Another shoot I did for Bend Living Magazine recently was photographing their Grand Finale sections- which is basically an image accompanied by the recipe. Here's two I shot! Mmmm...

Wine Cellars

Just finished a shoot for Bend Living Magazine- a feature about custom wine cellars. It was challenging because of the tight spaces, but overall- am happy with the turnout. Here's a quick sneak peak.

Senior Portrait Time

Well, it's that time of year- Senior Portraits! Here's a glimpse at one I shot a couple days ago.

Portrait Shoot

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything! Life's been busy- to say the least! Here's some new images from a mini-portrait session this week!

Rock Climbing and Kayaking...

One of the many reasons I love Central Oregon is for all the outdoor activities at my fingertips. Because I've been shooting a lot of stock images recently, It's been a great chance for me to bring my camera along to the activities I love doing. Recently, I went kayaking and rock climbing with some friends. Here are some of the picts that resulted. (note: i am not the person doing the dangerous climb that's silhouetted, I am however, the girl in the shot showing off my rear!) Not as impressive, I know.

So I went to my friend's wedding last weekend in Portland. I wasn't her photographer, but while I was there, I got to snap a few photos. This was my favorite one.
Until next time....

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Hello viewers! I have finally jumped on the bandwagon of bloggers! Because I am a photographer, I figured this would be another great way for friends, clients, and just onlookers to see what sort of things I have been shooting. It may take a bit of time for me to get going, but don't worry- it'll happen! For now, this is all I have because the site is under construction to soon show some new work.
