About Keri

I LOVE my job! I love the fact that I get to meet amazing people and share their special memories and events with them. My clients become my friends! What more could I ask for?

I have two beautiful little girls and an amazing husband. I feel very lucky that Adam and I get to work together--and we ENJOY it!

Our goal is to capture beautiful images that tell a story for you to cherish.

The highest compliment that anyone can pay to me is a referral to a friend. If you like what you see...pass my name along!

Thanks for taking time to check out my work!

Welcome, little Jacob!
This is my cousin's baby and he is so sweet! When I was in Seattle last month for an engagement session we snapped a few shots of her new little guy. I'm sure he has changed so much in the past month. They change so quickly. The greatest thing about having the newborn portraits taken is that the sweet, squishy, wrinkly, newborn stage is frozen in time. As my kids have gotten older I look back at their newborn pictures and can't believe that they were ever that small! You forget about the rolls of baby fat on their little bodies and the little snorting sounds they make when they are sleeping and their adorable quivering cry...hmmmm....am I getting a little baby hungry these days??? Aaahhhhhhh!!!! Stop me now! Ok, let's see, they also wake up every two hours...and the diapers.....ooooohhh the diapers.... ;)

He's beautiful, Liz and Hector! Congratulations!
He's sooooo worth all the diapers!

Bayliss Triplets

Introducing, The Bayliss Triplets! It was so fun to watch them interacting with each other. I can only imagine what it would be like growing up as a triplet. The bond between the three of them was obvious. Don't get me wrong--I'm sure they had their moments growing up where they, you know...had their moments like all siblings do. :)
Regardless, it is clear that they love and respect each other.
-
The Bayliss Family booked a split session and it worked out perfectly! They came to the studio in the morning for some traditional portraiture and then, that evening, we met at a park for some family shots and more individual portraits. It was the perfect way to get all of the shots that they wanted--without burning anyone out. Well, I guess we did burn Anthony out because he didn't want any outdoor shots, but he came along for the experience! What a sport! ;)
-
They also brought their horses along for the afternoon session. We were able to get some great mom and daughter shots on the horses in the early evening light. BEAUTIFUL!!! I think it is so fantastic that they ride together. Just the girls--It's their "thing" that they do together.
I have found a kindred spirit in Sally Bayliss. What a great woman!!! I have enjoyed talking chickens and children with you! Can't wait to get our silkies together!
Enjoy your portraits!

Samantha was one of my 2009 Blue Models. She wanted to wait until the summer after graduation to do her second session. For this session, we went to their property and took pictures at all of her favorite places on the property that have sentimental value. I thought it was a fabulous idea! It has been great working with Samantha this year. She is beautiful, talented AND sweet! I just LOVE her beautiful, wispy hair and her big eyes!
Enjoy your portraits, Samantha!

Kamren 1 year

Little Kamren is 1 year old!!! What a sweetie! His cake session was hilarious. I had such a hard time deciding which images to post here. He was pretty cautious at first. He kept looking up at us with a look that said, "Are you sure this is ok?" Pretty soon he threw caution to the wind and went for it!!! He was dragging the cake plate all over the studio platform and then would plop down and dig in again. By the end he was COVERED in frosting and cake. So cute!!!

Hansen Family

I had a great time photographing the Hansen Family! Their property is BEAUTIFUL!!!! It was hard to choose which place to take their big group picture because there were so many beautiful options! After the formal portraits we headed down to the pond for some fun shots with the kids. The boys were so cute with their fishing poles crafted by Grandpa. Unfortunately....no bites...but they did find a frog! He was kind enough to pose in a few pictures for us. ;)

Weston playing "peek-a-boo" with the camera. What a cutie!



What camera? I don't see a camera....


Baby Audrey

Isn't she a DOLL??!!
Can you believe that she is only two weeks old in these shots? She was so alert! I couldn't believe it when I saw her. We did manage to coax her to sleep towards the end of the session...but not without a fight! The last shot is of her letting us know EXACTLY how she felt about the whole thing. I absolutely love the gummy, toothless, quivering cry of brand new infants. Too cute!!!
You are beautiful, little Miss Audrey!

Someday we'll laugh about it....

-
-
Someday we will laugh about the past two weeks...but, for now, it's still not funny. Okay, who am I kidding??!! Enough with the melodrama. We're already laughing about it all. Stressed, but laughing. Once I got my computer back I was going to write a big, long posting about everything that has happened lately. Now that I have my computer back, though, I just need to GET TO WORK!!! In a tiny, condensed nutshell here are the two major strokes of bad luck that have come our way. I'll spare you the small ones....
-
The INSIDE of our house was sprayed by a skunk and my computer completely CRASHED--in the middle of wedding season when I am booked every single weekend! (Just so you know, that is a photographers worst nightmare come true.) Thanks to a FANTASTIC tech team at Megabyte Computers, I am up and running again! Wahooooo!!!! Thanks Chris and Sean!
-
-
As for that nasty skunk encounter, let's just say I'm not sure who I am more upset with, the dog or the skunk! We'll stay away from the "anger" part of the whole thing for now and I'll just tell you what I've learned from the experience.
-
1. Grocery stores are EMPTY in the middle of the night, so if you want to get your grocery shopping done without crowds or long lines, may I suggest that you do it around 4:00 am.
-
2. Scrubbing the walls and siding of your house with baking soda, detergent and hydrogen peroxide and washing your clothes in vinegar really works to get the skunk smell out.
-
3. Always put away your laundry after you wash it. Don't leave it in heaping piles on the dresser in front of the open window where a skunk could walk by and spray. This just means you will have to wash it again--in vinegar. I'm just saying...it could happen!
-
4. Don't tell your husband to "put on a happy face" while you both are scrubbing the skunk smell off the outside of your house and your walls at 5:00 am.
This could come back to haunt you...
-
Adam: (being very grumpy) "This sucks." grumble...grumble, etc.
Keri: "Look honey, it is what it is. We can either laugh about this or we can be grumpy and argue about it."
Adam: Blank stare at Keri that required no words to interpret.
-
About 30 minutes later I tripped and fell dumping an entire bucket of the above mentioned mixture all over my stomach, legs and feet. I was ticked!
How quickly I forgot my own pep talk...
-
Adam: With a smirky smile, "Look honey, it is what it is. We can either laugh about this or we can be grumpy and argue about it."
-
-
HA!!! I had that one coming! :)
-
-
Between the two disasters I've lost over a week in working time--so, needless to say, I'm running a bit behind right now. For those of you checking the blog for your pictures...they're coming, I promise! I have a good feeling that our stroke of bad luck has passed. Knock on wood--or skunky siding as the case may be!

Jessica and Matthew's Wedding

Keri Blue Photography, Roseburg Oregon Wedding Photographer, Senior Portraits, Infant and Child Photography, Family Portraits

Jessica and Matthew were married weekend before last at Romantic River Gardens. What a wedding!!! Every detail was gorgeous! (Great job, Debbie!!!) The bride and groom are beautiful people and it was a breeze to photograph them! They were so natural and playful in front of the camera. We didn't need to direct them at all! Love that!
-
-
In preparation for their wedding they had been taking dancing lessons where they learned the foxtrot to perform for their "first dance" together. It was so sweet! We even caught them sneaking away to get in a quick practice before the real thing. The pictures are in the slideshow. Very romantic! Below is a picture of Matthew twirling his bride. That shot melts my heart--seeing how much fun they were having!
-
-
What a special couple! So sweet and kind...and so in love!
Thank you for choosing us as your wedding photographers!
