Blending Thoughts

Hello everyone, 

I hope you have all been enjoying the holiday season. With all of the commotion I've been trying to sneak some alone time to relax. The more time I have alone, the more I realize all I want to do is create. My fingers are sore from trying new ideas, sketching, coloring, and wrapping jewelry. But when it comes down to it, the only art I feel completely connected to is photography. I've been determined to find the perfect blend between my drawings and my photography, so I started playing around in photoshop with some pictures. The images set the tone and the design adds my individual connection I have with the world. 

I love you all,

Kailey

Multnomah Falls

I love living in Portland. Everyday I find another thing to gasp at.
Today we decided it was time to see Multnomah Falls, especially since it was our day off. We found an incredible amount of beauty in every step. The mist of the falls, green ferns, yellow fall leaves, and salmon swimming up stream. We were reminded that with a little determination we will get where we want to be. 
The drive itself was fantastic, and it's only thirty minutes from our house!

Well anyway we had a lot of fun shooting here, it will definitely be a place to bring family and friends when they visit.

Some of these images will be hanging at Village Coffee this month!

Thanks for stopping by,

Reddot!

A new month brings new projects. A very close friend of mine is a talented musician, and I have been lucky enough to be able to help him out with a fresh new look. Here are a few samples of what I quickly came up with. I'll be posting more ideas in the next few days. I would love to hear any kind of feedback. Let me know which design is your favorite!

"Reddot is the musical project of fresh Denver producer Josh Novak. His heavy tunes feature sizzling leads and booming basslines. His live performances are energetic and always original- he interacts with his software to deliver his productions in a unique way. His sound is psychedelic, dark and melodic in a way most young producers can’t emulate. Each song has a different flavor, stemming from his wide range of influences, from classic rock to hip hop, dubstep to jam bands. His attention to detail is evident in his songs, using filters and effects to swirl in synthesizers. When playing live, his sets build in potential energy, flowing together deep bass grooves over shuffled drums, changing speed and blending styles flawlessly. Every time Novak gets behind the helm of his MacBook and interface the crowd gets brought to life. Reddot has played across the state of Colorado, and been the winner of recent Denver electronic musician battles. He will be bringing his sound to Sonic Bloom for the first time this summer with fresh tunes in tow. Reddot’s heady productions continue to delve into new territory unexplored by most dubstep producers. His latest song Electromagnetic Pulse is representative of this. Dark, heavy, and it sounds like nothing you’ve heard before."

Potatoes, Parks, and Trees

Recently I've been hungry, for fall comfort, I woke up a few days ago with the pleasure of spicy potatoes and yogurt. Later that day I was inspired to go out and explore my new community. I was surprised to find I was most enthusiastic about the infinite amount trees that engulf everything here. If I've learned anything while living in Oregon, its that trees have more knowledge in every little limb than we do in our entire body. 

Fall colors, are everywhere! There's nothing better than a warm home with a handwritten letter to come home to on such a cold day. 

 Sunset from Multnomah Village. Let the brilliant light widen your eyes with wonder. 

 I'm still trying to identify this tree, but they are everywhere! I know it is something along the lines of a Douglasfir, but the needles look different, so I'm honestly not positive. I'm learning so much about trees just trying to identify this one, its quite fascinating. I am now aware that whatever this tree may be it is part of the Pinaceae Family. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to all of you with my new found tree knowledge soon!

 The last photograph is of Gabriel Park just up the street from our home. When Rachel and I arrived in Multnomah Village this was one of the first places we came across. Its much bigger than it looks; with trails that lead through the forest, past a dog park, a garden, and over a bridge into another soccer field. Rather impressive for just stumbling upon it. 

More to come soon!

A Walk in the Woods

I missed the ocean.
So this saturday we made our way to the coast. The drive was beautiful, with reflecting pools and trees lining the road.
Our drive took us around Cape Meares and up towards the forest. Our walk was shrouded in mist with the occasional giant tree breaking through the fog and the sound of the hidden ocean below us.
The forest floor was wet with dew, full of ferns and a hundred different types of mushrooms. The walk put a few things in to perspective for me. We have been working hard at our new jobs, which I am grateful to have, but I am here for photography. I came to this beautiful place to be inspired and I plan on that showing in our work.

With love,

Forever Rotating

It seems that life has got me spinning in several directions. Rachel and I have both been working hard at our new jobs here in portland while still consistently working on reaching our goals in photography. As life moves faster and faster I decided to take some time for myself and create some self portraits. I always say, the best way to move past anything is to take some pictures of yourself. 

The second image is a photograph of our adorable retro kitchen. I'm completely in love with it.

On another note, we recently added some images on our website. Please take a look!

Oregon Sanctuary

During the past few days Rachel and I have been staying with some family friends in Oregon City. They have the most darling house that words cannot describe. The foxy dog Anna has kept us company when we are lonely, and when we get hungry the garden has given us an abundance of deliciousness. We admire this family so much we only felt it was necessary to photograph their atmosphere. 

With love,

Kailey Fry

Village Coffee

What an Adventure we have been having! Our spontaneity got the best of us, leading us all the way up to Portland with very little money, no job (yet!) and no plans for where we could sleep. Luckily it seems that Karma was on our side, within the first week we got our images up in a coffee shop in Multnomah Village (our soon to be home) and we were able to bring Kailey's Epson R2400 in to a friend of a friend's house and make some prints as soon as we got the call. After a quick trip to Goodwill in Beaverton we were able to cheaply frame them and have them hung up. Not bad for having no place to live!

Here are some snap shots I took after we hung them, as you can see Kailey is enjoying a well deserved (and well made) cappuccino in the corner.

If you are in the Portland area I suggest you check out this cute little village and the Village coffee shop. I am very glad that we did.

I am excited for the next few blog posts too! Thanks to Kailey's aunt and Uncle we are staying with a wonderful family in Beautiful Oregon City. Expect some photographs of their property and their chickens!

Until Next time,

Rachel Deehan

P.S. We did some redesigning on our website, we have a new font and logo thanks to our awesome talented friend Leila Sarikey.

Changing Seasons

The days are getting shorter, the air is getting brisk. Fall is here and I love it. Here are a few images I was playing around with last night. I took the photographs almost a year ago now when I was in Keystone Colorado with some family. When you're missing home, sometimes the best thing to do is look at the photographs you've taken there.

New Territory

Exploring new territories is always a thrill. While desperately trying to move up to Portland, I have come to realize how important it is to listen to intuition and the people who surround you. With little money in our pockets our friends family, and strangers have all given us enough pats on our backs to give us the confidence we need. The north west is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The thick forest and ever changing skies have lifted our spirits even higher. I cannot express how thankful I am. We have made a home here and I can't wait to share it with those I love.

On another note...
Here are a few pictures we took while we were in Yosemite a few weeks ago. The first was a collaborative effort shot by Rachel and edited by myself.

The second is from the Yosemite Valley floor from the mirror lake hike. 

Hope this leads you to new places

Yours truly, 

Rachel and Kailey

Nature

We have just gotten our printer up and running, which means we are in business!

Kailey and I spent the day printing some shots that were ordered from Denver and troubleshooting with the printer. I learned a lot about how to operate and maintain it which makes me feel more prepared for starting this business. So to everyone that ordered prints they will be on their way soon!

We also just got back from a weekend in Yosemite. I couldn't have been happier to see mountains again, I've been dreaming of them all summer. You can expect some pictures from Tuolumne soon! Until then I wanted to post a few of our Nature shots from our website.

This is a shot from my Nature class at Brooks. We got to handle a collection of insects, reptiles, and amphibians and pose them however we wanted. The animals were all very cooperative and it was an amazing experience.

This is a sunset that Kailey shot in Denver. While visiting home she was able to spend some quality time with her dad photographing some of her favorite places in the city. Surprisingly, this little dandelion captured the light better than the surrounding buildings during sunset.

I found this picture while fishing through my files. The sky looked so much more interesting when it was mirrored. I also thought it complemented how I feel about that beautiful Colorado sky.

I hope you enjoy

Hello World!

I would like to introduce you to InLight Images. We are recently graduated from the Brooks Institute  with a Bachelors in Professional Photography. We concentrated in Industrial/Scientific Photography (the class where you blow things up and catch it on high speed, as well as many other scientific techniques) which has given us a unique perspective on run of the mill commercial projects.

As your narrator I will start with me, Rachel Deehan, and one of my most recent works:

Next is K Fry, and two of her nature photographs, which she mirrored in response to my hillside photograph:

This is just a little taste of what's to come.
See you soon,
