Today, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Portland-local Irene L Veldstra, Designer of Something New Creations and Model Jennifer Eastwood. Jennifer gracefully displayed a one piece dress from Irene’s collection in Tanner Springs Park, a restored sustainable wetland, located in the Pearl District (Portland, Oregon).
Irene’s collection includes gowns, two-pieces, and cocktail dresses. All items are hand crafted, one of a kind, and made from recycled material. How awesome right!
I enjoyed working with both ladies on a June summers day. I can’t wait to showcase my fashion spread! Stay tuned!

Around Portland: Cathedral Park Dock and view of St. John’s Bridge
I have been “playing” with my photos; my mom WOULD approve!
Lately, I have been layering different hues of color to my images to make them “SEEM” mystical. I have applied a red-orange hue and cyan layer to these images of the St. John’s Bridge and Cathedral Park Dock to enahance the color that the image already holds. Using the complimentary colors against themselves translates more harmony that contrast. I hope that you enjoy this new treatment style!
Have a great weekend everyone! Cheers!

Details: A Single-Family Home located at 2018 Southwest Madison Street, Portland OR sits abandoned. 2018 SW Madison St has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and approximately 2,502 square feet. The property was built in 1913 and sold last month, 99 years later for $110,000 (avg. morage $403/mo.).
This abandoned house caught my eye while I was traveling through SW Goose Hollow. The stairs from the south-facing side of the house have been removed leaving behind doors that lead to nowhere. Old houses such as these always have a story; I wonder what type of life had previously occupied this property.
