We went on our first family camping trip back in September 2016 to Clear Lake in Mt. Hood National Forest just East of Portland. It’s in a really beautiful area, but beware, there are TWO Clear Lakes in Oregon. Of course, the pictures I kept looking at of the super clear waters were from the one […]

In the spirit of Brady starting his second season of soccer this weekend, I thought I’d FINALLY blog images/video from his first game. What a fun first season of soccer for Brady. This was his first time playing organized sports. It was a well run league nearby us. He had games every Saturday and I’m […]

It was a very cold January day for Dallas, TX. I had just travelled from Portland, OR back to my old stompin’ grounds (Dallas) to document this sweet family’s day. We had only spoken on the phone a hand full of times before meeting each other early that morning.  A little fact about Lorilei is she […]

Life is has been really fast and full since the beginning of (time) the summer and I honestly haven’t given myself much time to work on personal stuff since then. I shoot (thousands) of images and load them to my computer and let them sit until I get a chance to work on them. I […]

I had the honor of documenting the Rosenbaum Financial annual BBQ again at their lovely office in Downtown Portland. This year I added some videography in with my traditional documentary style photography. It was a great evening filled with good food from the friendly folks at Slick’s Big Time BBQ, the fun folks at Rosenbaum Financial, […]

It was one of those evenings that sticks in your memory for no good reason other than it was a lovely time. We had been to the Oregon zoo that afternoon for the first time with friends to enjoy the amazing Portland weather in March (stay tuned for future blog post featuring images from the […]

Even though we’ve been berry picking several times this summer (it’s only the beginning of July) & I’ve made LOTS of freezer jam in addition to other edible things,  it still feels inadequate. I want to go berry picking once a week. Brady’s become an expert berry picker! The part of me that wants to […]

Making this Brand Film (video) for Alyssa Jul Seniors was so much fun! It was perfect weather until the last couple of minutes when it poured on us. Isn’t Portland so beautiful in the Spring?!  I’d love to create more of these brand films.  Email me if you’re interested! Hello@LaurenAllenPhotography.com  Alyssa Jul Seniors from Lauren […]
