Photos By EJRussell: I am Beth, your photographer here in Hillsboro, Oregon or anywhere else you want me to be! I want to capture the fleeting moments of laughter and moods and seasons and dances that we forget when we are sweeping up the crumbs from lunch, refereeing fights between children and waking up blurry eyed to a snoring spouse with bad breath. It seems that photographs are undervalued when we all walk around with camera phone, webcams and hundreds of other picture snapping devices... but those pixilated, underexposed digital images that are uploaded to facebook or other social networks. They will not be reminded of the way their parent held their hand, of tickle fests, of how they have the same grin as their big brother. They will regret the disposable digital age they grew up in that deleted their childhoods when social networks became obsolete and the phone went through the washing machine or fell in the toilet. I want to restore the value of the photograph, one client at a time.
