I have been having so much fun this summer creating beauty and photographing the most amazing clients from all over Oregon & beyond!  Despite my surgery last month, which gave me a minor setback, the moment I was released back to work, I have been running at full-speed and loving every minute of it!  I have so many gorgeous sessions to share with you that have been in the Holli True Vault, starting with the one and only Harlee.

Harlee is an amazing girl that I met in Fargo, ND this past May when I was teaching my Senior Portrait Workshop.  She was one of the high school models that came to pose for all of the photographers during the Workshop.  The moment I met her, I was drawn to her.  She embodies the spirit & style of a Young & free Girl and I could sense it immediately.  And I wasn’t the only one.  Four attendees actually approached me and said, “Harlee is your girl, isn’t she?”  Yes, she absolutely is.

Back in late June, just after graduation, Harlee flew out to Oregon to spend a week with us, along with Kaia Lea, one of the photographers who attended the Workshop.  What transpired was a sequence of inspired photo shoots, some quite simple, some quite complex.  Meeting Harlee was huge for me, as she has become in many ways, my Muse.  When I think about concepts and styled shoots I want to photograph, I immediately picture Harlee in them, knowing she would get my vision and help me convey it in my images.  I love that about her.  :)

Harlee, I cannot thank you enough for everything.  You inspire me to be a better photographer and to create.  You are one amazing girl and I absolutely adore you!  I hope you love these images as much as I do, you are simply stunning and beautiful all the way to your heart.  Much love!!
