Reed + Naomi’s Engagement Session | Corvallis Oregon Portrait Photographer

Sara Lil Photography — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 22:41:21 +0000

Reed and Naomi were so much fun! I think we laughed through most of their session!! They are getting married in Scotland next year and wanted some engagement photos with an Oregon feel to them, so of course we went into the woods for their shoot. We had a fun time together capturing great moments! Below are some of my favorites:

Interesting Photo… | Corvallis Portrait Photographer

Sara Lil Photography — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 23:28:44 +0000

I’ve been busy with a lot of commercial shoots lately which I usually don’t blog, but I do have several portrait shoots to blog I just haven’t found the time. Busy season is here full force and I still hope/plan to blog regularly, it just might be more sporadic.

I’m on my out the door to go on a girls night out in the city (I’m so excited!) but I wanted to show you this image really quickly. There’s something special about it — it looks like their heart chakra’s are glowing…. whatever it is it’s pretty cool:

I photographed Akshya and Dee’s engagement session last month on one of the warmest days of the month – we had to reschedule once due to rain and luckily this day turned out great! It was so much fun taking creative shots of them and getting to know each other a bit. Thanks you two and congratulations on your engagement!!

Sam + Tara | Oregon Coast Engagement Session | Corvallis Photographer

Sara Lil Photography — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:36:34 +0000

A few weeks ago Sam and Tara met me in Newport for their engagement session. It was 90 degrees here but when we got to the coast it was 60 degrees, overcast, and windy. We decided to do the shoot anyway, after all that is Oregon weather! We had so much fun walking down the beach getting to know each other and taking fun photos! Below are a few of my favorites:
