Portlandia – Travel Photos | Meredith Adams – Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Five tidbits:

1. 1 felt like I could live in Powell’s. Just cuddle up between the bookshelves, and be fed by coffee and words my whole life as the rain poured outside.

2. I’ve wanted to go to Voodoo for so long, so it was basically a dream come true. I ordered the Portland Cream. Scrumptious.

3. Sizzle Pie was right across from Powell’s and was delicious. I love how they offered “cuts” (half slices) so you could order more flavors for cheaper to try them all.

4. Portland has great thrift shopping. I was in heaven. I bought the jean jacket that I’m wearing in the last two photographs. It’s currently my favorite thing to wear.

5. And last but not least, it rains a lot there. Did you guys know that? But it’s so green and pretty.

I love to travel.

Hugs and kisses for Portland.

Kristy – Bend, OR | Meredith Adams – Bend, OR Portrait Photographer

Kind-hearted, gorgeous, honest, funny, bubbly, friendly, joyful, silly. . . I cannot say enough good things about her. Not to mention uber talented (check out her photography and design at Wreckless Creative).

I loved hanging out with this girl this morning in Bend, laughing over hemp and lavendar lattes and enjoying this beautiful park. We were crunched for time, but I had to squeeze in a 10 minute photoshoot.

Oh, and ps, meet Hansen, her male manikin. He’s a looker. And yes, I named him. Just now.

The Barlows – 25 year Anniversary Shoot| Meredith Adams – Fruitland, ID Portrait Photographer

I’ve actually had the privilege of calling The Barlow’s home my second home. Their daughter, Olive, and I have been best friends since middle school. I’ve always thought Angie and Brad had such a cute relationship. They are flirty to this day. I even remember seeing sticky notes they wrote to each other telling each other that they loved each other or that they’d miss each other while at work. That kind of love is truly inspiring. It inspires me personally in my own marriage today.

This photoshoot took place on a windy day, much like the weather during their wedding, they told me. I was so honored to be able to photograph these wonderful and kind-hearted people who have a love that I look up to. They were naturals in front of the camera.

I hope you can see their love shine through these photographs. And if you want to, listen to this while scrolling. I think it goes well with this particular post.

 


 

Adrianna // Senior of 2013 | Meredith Adams – Vale, OR Portrait Photographer

Adrianna is kindhearted, happy, and a talented writer. She was a blessing to shoot, and afterwards, she invited me into her house for tea so we got to hang out for a couple more hours, which was awesome. I’m excited to see what the future holds for her.

Jackie in John Day, OR | Meredith Adams – Portrait Photographer

Jackie invited me to go on a roadtrip with her Friday, and we left the next day. It was beautiful. Here’s a small list of things that I will remember about this trip:

- The cabin hidden in the woods
- My diet of cheez-its, m&ms, chips ahoy cookies, and rich, creamy chocolate and huckleberry ice cream
- thoughtful conversations
- laughing really hard
- the dog that I thought would attack us
- the hypothetical bear that I thought would attack us
- being introduced to new music (artsists such as Y La Bamba, Typhoon, and Andrew Bird) / listening to them under starry skies on the way home when I was half awake

and just in general having a great time. I’m so  thankful that I get to do fun stuff like this with creative people. Jackie is awesome in general, and you can check out her shots from the trip here. I loved hanging out with her! And isn’t she seriously a fantastic model? Like whoa.

Here’s to roadtrips and woodsy adventures.
