A Quick Photo Shoot in Oregon |

Last week my daughter and I took a quick trip to Oregon for a family reunion. We had a wonderful time visiting family. We had planned to stay for 10 days, but the trip was cut short since I am still recovering from my car accident and my daughter had some last-minute schedule changes, too. She found a wonderful dress “thrifting” with her aunt and cousin and when we were headed from one town to another visiting family, we stopped at a lake and snapped a few quick pictures.

This was a spontaneous decision, She changed her clothes in the car, and put her makeup on in about two minutes, LOL.

I love the ethereal look to the photographs. It was kind of hazy and the sky was a bit orange due to forest fires north of us, so I did some post production manipulating focus/blurring in Photoshop.

My daughter will always be my most favorite subject to photograph. 🙂 It’s been a while since we did a photo shoot. I am so glad we took a few minutes to take these. I miss photographing my girl!

I am beginning to feel a lot better and I am headed into the final week of my physical therapy, so I am planning to get back to posting to my blog on a regular basis. Thanks for all the encouraging thoughts, comments and emails. I appreciate all of you.

Have a wonderful creative day, Janell

I didn’t realize you’d had a car accident. I’m so sorry to hear it! That can take so long to get over. I was in a minor fender-bender a couple years ago, and it was over a year before I no longer had pain from it. I still cringe if I’m riding in a car when the driver waits too long to brake and comes too close for comfort to the car in front of us.

These photos are gorgeous, really ethereal and dream-like. Beautiful!
