The Highly Anticipated Update ;-)

Hello All,

What with a move, a trip, and other assorted craziness, I have been busy and not posting. I am spending this independence weekend imaging photographs like mad, though. So, here are a few nature shots from my recent trip to Medford, Oregon.

Mini-Session











Enjoy a sampling of photos from a mini-session in Jacksonville, Oregon. We took these photos at the Jacksonville Museum. You will probably recognize the Justines from photos on my website. They switched it up; last time they wore shades of pink and this time, as you see, they're wearing blue. The museum was once the local courthouse in the 1800s. The interesting architecture and green surroundings made for a different look than I'm used to shooting in Arizona. The buttercups are everywhere here.

And yes...bribery was used to motivate the three-year-old.

Mini-sessions are a great, economical way to take a few photos and get a DVD of the images for your own personal use. They can also be a good way to periodically update your online photographs without spending too much money or time. Contact Willow Paule Photography at 480.274.0295 if you want more info.

Good Eatin' & Readin'



Hi All,

I follow this blog with yummy vegetarian food and beautiful close-up photos of delectable dishes. Check out this link because Heidi Swanson asked her readers to recommend their favorite fiction and some of the 60 picks look mighty good. Oh, and this recipe looks exciting, too. Buckwheat is good stuff.

My all-time favorite book--> Paul Thoreux's Milroy the Magician.

Your Vision

What would you be most interested in? If you had the money and the time to do any photo shoot, where would you go and what would be your focus?

Boudoir...campy, sexy, fun?

Environmental portraits...with architecture, with nature, with old cars, with new cars?

Posed portraits...

Photos of your alter ego...

A storyline...I'm thinking of some photos we took in short skirts by a construction site, with chain link fence shadows on our faces...fun stuff! Or another project I did covering my friend in cake and dressing her like Marie Antoinette...

Whats your vision? What would it take? Props, time, makeup, what??

Tell me!

Recent Mother's Day Photos




I had a great time with these easy-going women. They brought some fun, colorful clothes. We worked on a deadline; I took the photos Sunday night, got them online by Monday and they chose their prints by Tuesday so I could deliver the photographs by Saturday. Their mother loved the shots and it all turned out well!

Amazing Potato Found


This potato must have been on steroids; as you can see, it is about the size of my head. It later fed 12 orphans. Thank you 99 cent store!

Happy Earth Day




In honor of earth day, I took an extra long walk in the desert this evening. I was glad for the quiet it offered and the wonderful smell of creosote. Everything is blooming and I love spring in the desert. Here are a couple photos to celebrate nature. My peanut butter and fresh strawberry sandwich in Jacksonville, Oregon. And can you believe that orange blossom comes from nature?!

Eastery Portraits





A few incognito shots of some sweet girls. We all had a great time with the bright colors of this muffler shop in Mesa. We walked to the back of the building and discovered 2 murals, also!

Before Mother's Day

(A photo from my childhood; enjoying the outdoors.)

Mother's Day Special:

Family is important and to celebrate Willow Paule Photography is taking $50 off sitting fees until Mother's Day-May 10th. Because you may not have much time or money, WPP is also offering a "mini-session" of one hour of photography starting at only $125 and this can be used concurrently with the above discount! With this mini-session you'll still have time to make some beautiful images and perhaps even change your outfit (if you're wearing one:-) or location if you like. Of course, the original session is still available and gives you more time to try different things or explore different locations. I hope you'll all take advantage of these good deals.

Also...

Mother's Day Photography Contest
To commemorate Mother's Day, Willow Paule Photography wants to see your favorite photos of moms and children. You have until May 10th to send in your favorite photos documenting the relationship between mothers and children. Each participant can send up to three. Willow Paule Photography is offering a free sitting (open to participants in my area) for the winner of this contest. The winner will also have their photo exhibited with Willow Paule Photography's images in a show TBA. The winner's photo will also be posted on this blog!

The images will be judged on originality, technical skill, and emotional quality. Photos have to submitted by the artist and can be digital or film. Submit your photo to willowpaule@gmail.com.
