Alright, she’s lived here for awhile now, but it seemed fitting. My friend Andrea was my boss back in college — that’s how we met. She is a news producer now and recently moved to Portland. It’s been so fun getting to hang out again.

This week when we hung out, Andrea let me take her picture. She fed me this line like, “Oh well, I’m not very photogenic, but we’ll see!” which turned out to be nonsense, obviously.

This was a new place for me to shoot and I think I’ll use it in the future for some portrait sessions — but I’m not sharing! New places are hard to come by, and every photographer needs her secret spots.

I like that one because it’s Andrea with the Portland Streetcar behind her — Andrea meets the city of Portland!

This pink coat was a rescue, saved from a pile of donated clothes. I have to agree with Andrea — why would anyone want to get rid of it?

Thanks Andrea, for being such a fun friend! I had a blast on that windy, windy day with you. Not photogenic? Psssh.
