Recently I shot at The Happy Girls Half Marathon and 5k presented by Lay it Out Events in Bend Oregon. The beneficiary was The Kids Center of Bend, that is a treatment, evaluation and prevention center that works with victims of child abuse. Day one featured a vendor showcase and Little Kids run. Kids came to run, play and even do some yoga. Even the less than ideal (and non-typical) Memorial Day weather didn't stop the fun.



Day two brought sunny weather and a ton of "Happy Girls" out for the half marathon and 5k. I dodged traffic, bushwhacked through manzanita fields and circled the course than ran throughout Bends west side trail system. a big thanks to the crew at lay it Out for putting on the event and I definitely look forward to shooting more of their events in the future.





Last week I had my first opportunity to shoot some stock footage of Central Oregon nature and mountain biking with Sunriver Resort and COG Wild. Two mornings of sunrise shoots gave me a great set of footage and I am excited to show my proofs in the coming weeks. I also shot a bike tour with COG Wild in Sunriver and that video is nearly complete.

until next time,

Jim
