Salem Oregon Portrait Photographer - simple beauty in b&w

April 30, 2026

This photo shoot was a great way to test out a lens I was renting, while I considered purchasing it. Cheyeanna happened to have a rental dress (from rent the runway) in her possession at the same time, so I think it was meant to be!

Anyway, we spent about an hour at Deepwood Museum & Gardens (yes, I shoot here a lot) on a beautiful Spring morning.

Did I purchase the lens? Despite the images turning out great, no, I did not. For my fellow photo enthusiasts, these were taken with the 85mm f/1.2. I already had the f/1.4 version and in the end, I just didn’t feel that there was enough of a difference in image quality to justify the added expsense.
