all about the GROOM | wedding photography | oregon lifestyle photographer, kellie trenkle

this was so fun.
i shot this wedding a couple weeks ago, with another friend.
she was hired to document the bride's story.
and i was hired to follow the groom like i was papparazzi.
it had such a different feel -- it was so awesome!
good times.  good times.
here's a sneaky peek -- i'm still sorting thru faves!

dance specials! | dance photography | oregon lifestyle photographer, kellie trenkle



Good news!

The Celebration Street SHOWCASE Collection is now available at my online Boutique.
Now, I will be clarifying some things in this post, so read THOROUGHLY & COMPLETELY to THOROUGHLY & COMPLETELY enjoy your shopping experience over @ my Boutique.

There are 3 Promos going on right now that I'm offering for Dance Families.

Numero-Uno:
Take 15%-off all orders thru JUNE 25th using PROMO CODE: dance15.

Numero-Dos:
4x6 Prints are only available for a limited time and they are 20%-off until JUNE 25th using PROMO CODE: 4x6special20.

Numero-Tres:
This one is so fun... You have the option to sign in using one of the usernames below to have access to my full product line. And from now until JULY 15th you can save 25%-off on all keepsake albums that YOU & YOUR DANCER customize using Captivating's dance photography.

Now. This is where it might get a little tricky. You can only use images from within one gallery to create your album. SO, If you want to use images from BOTH the Pink Studio Life Collection AND the Showcase Collection, you'll need to go into that specific gallery (which I was promised would be up by Saturday morning and is a combination of all five galleries into one link) and sign-in using the username/password:
cstreet
collection

Does that make sense? Hope so. If not, call me or send me a 911 email. To save 25% on a custom keepsake album, enter PROMO CODE: keepsake25. Offer ends July 15th.

Just as a refresher and a little UPDATE on accessing the galleries, you'll need to use the usernames/passwords below and PLEASE NOTE that the Showcase gallery sign-in is different than I told you before.

For the Showcase Collection, sign-in using:

And to create custom albums and other customized photo gifts using images from both the pink Studio Life Collection and the Showcase Collection, sign-in using:
cstreet
collection

HEY! ALL the promo codes can be used in the same shopping experience! Fun stuff.
Ready to shop? Take a breather from all the information overload and go see those dancers. Woo-hoo!

Ohhhhh... and, please meet my sweet Kennabear. On the night of the recital I got to just be mommy in the audience & Little Miss tippied her little ballet-slippered-trenkletoes all over the stage. Yay, Kennady!


And I just have to share a sweet moment: my daughter in her daddy's arms after her very first big recital performance. (tummy flip) :o)

I will be selling both collections of proofs as a fund raiser for C-Street. (Wait until you see these on Metallic Paper -- O.Mi.Goodness!

Pressing Play - Part I

Soooo, my plate has been more like a buffet table lately! It's been more than full! But I'm getting back to a little bit of normalcy. And after pausing some other projects so I could remain sane, I am now ready to press play. Let the catching up begin!

Here's a fun mini-session from mid-April with a sweet little girl I get to see every month! The Mama and I have been friends for years (hi, sis!) and baby was born as a best friend for my youngest daughter. (Thank you, thank you!)

These shots are from Sweet Girl's 7-month portraits. I'll tell you what, I was going to apply for ownership rights to her Cerulean Blues but Mom and Dad had first dibbs. (Psh.) But don't they just look like they BELONG in front of my camera. All the time? They're like mirrors! They're, well, I'll tell ya... they're captivating! Right?














Yep. Had to get a closer look, did you? Me, too!
I am so in love with Sweet Girl's blues!
She was watching Daddy twirl Mommy's yellow [Mary Engelbreit] umbrella.
Love it!



Fun Fact:
This is the Mama's rocker
that HER mother had HER sitting in
for portraits
when SHE was 7-months old.
THAT. Is cool.




Here it is in Black and White.
Trippy, huh!


COLOR?
-or-
BLACK & WHITE?





The toes.
I can't explain it, I just love photographing feet.
My husband doesn't get it.
(He does not love feet.)
Seriously, baby Toes are irresistible, tho.
Come on!
