When my friend, Bev, threw out a photo challenge to accompany a quote on her blog, I took it up as well and we were off to NW 23rd, one of our favorite areas of Portland. The quote was, “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” from Joseph Campbell. I figured I could manage to stick with walls and doors. Easy peasy. Well, maybe not so much. At least she didn’t say I could only pick one image.

Sometimes you just don’t need a face for the best image. You don’t need the grinning, in your face (excuse the pun) portrait to capture the moment. Sometimes you have to let the moment just be felt.

Fairy tales were always my “thing” growing up. I fell in love with them early, and they never left me. So, when I got the opportunity to photograph this beautiful woman that just happened to look like a Gypsy Princess, I couldn’t resist.





I love my job…
