Christa Taylor Photography on Instagram

It's Saturday morning, in the midst of prepping for a beautiful wedding at the Aerie at Eagle Landing and here I am thinking about Instagram. Instagram, as many know, has become the new form of blog- a personal platform to share snippets of your life, work and personality. 

 Any social media platform takes work, and because we only have limited time during the day, you have to choose which platform you are going to invest in. Instagram seems to be growing the most rapidly and requires the least amount of work. I want to create a story, but I don't have the same amount of time I did before. Our baby girl Florence is now a year old and frankly, I'd rather be with her than spend hours manipulating my latest blog post or Facebook share. (She's currently sitting next to me, chowing down on Cheddar bunnies)

 If choosing to simplify makes life easier and more affective to accomplish your long-term goals. DO IT. As Jen Rozenbaum says, "Make your business work for your life, not your life for your business". 

So here's a cheers to Instagram

Ponzi Vineyard Wedding: Portland Weddings

I love working with the team from Ponzi Vineyards, their impeccable service makes Ponzi Vineyards an ideal wedding venue. And how can you beat those views? I love the geometric lines and variety of backdrops the vineyards present for wedding portraits, I could shoot there for hours! Rachel and Nick hosted their intimate wedding in the Sherwood location, with epic views of the surrounding valley.

As a Portland wedding photographer, I love getting outside the city into the natural beauty of the Oregon wine country. Most of the images above were shot on 35mm, Portra 400 and developed/scanned by Photovision Lab 

Portland Boudoir Mini Sessions

The Wedding Anniversaries are right around the corner which means it's perfect time for a Portland boudoir mini session. Portland Boudoir sessions are based out of our studio in SE Portland, and include up to 4 looks and 10 digital files. It's an hour of relaxed fun in front of my camera with me guiding you every step of the way.
