Fairytale Princess | "Trash the Dress" in the Columbia River Gorge

April 25, 2015 by Ara R. in Bridal Portraits, Portraits

While Celeste had no desire to keep her dress clean as we adventured through the Columbia River Gorge for her Trash the Dress session, my favorite photos are these two. Latourell Falls and The Old Columbia River Gorge Highway were the perfect place to transform her into a fairytale princess.

Adventure Report: White River Falls

March 20, 2015 by Ara R. in Adventure Reports, Personal

I'm such a waterfall junkie that I'm embarrassed to admit that, until roughly a month ago, I had never been to White River Falls before. It's huge, a mind-blowing first drop leading to a lower bowl (above), and then another beautiful lower falls just downstream.

Photo Feature: Mist on Abiqua

Nestled into the wilderness near Silverton, Oregon, Abiqua Falls is a short, rough hike/scramble to paradise. It doesn't matter what time of year you go, either--there's always something beautiful to see.
