Two Little Brothers

Image
Photographing these two gorgeous boys on location in West Linn was a lot of fun! We had blazing sunshine to deal with but we did find a shady spot and kicked some light in with a daylight reflector. The dappled light and soft shadows add to the mood of these shots. The sun gave us the beautiful contrast and vibrant colors which I love.

Newborn Photographed in the Field!

Image
I just love it when parents instigate a challenge to being a little different to the ordinary. So you can imagine that I was delighted when the mother of this newborn allowed me to photograph her baby in the field!

West Linn Family Photographed at Home

Image
Yesterday, I photographed this wonderful family in West Linn. I setup my studio in their lounge room which was perfect for a family with a newborn, two year old and a six year old! We were able to manage diaper changes, melt downs and all the challenges of photographing a young family. It went well even though it was tiring, it was worth it!

High School Grads

Image
We had a blast downtown Portland. Spent the morning at various locations with a break for some lunch at Pizzacato on 23rd Street. We got some great shots. Next we will do the portrait session in the studio to make the package complete!

Girls Shoot For Catalog Work

Image
Putting together a portfolio of work for children's catalog and advertisment work. This is much more of a challenge than I had predicted. I felt my patience waning during the shoot as these girls were not professional models and took a while to warm up and then they crashed!

Athey Girls

The girls were delightful. What a great shoot and lovely family!

Lovely Guerchon Girls

Image
Photographing the Guerchon girls was delightful. We had a fun time with perfect weather down at Willamette Park. This is part of the Athey Creek fundraiser. I am photographing portraits of the schools families and donating the profits back to the school. So far the response has been great!

Herbert Family at Willamette

Image
It was such fun photographing the Herbert family and a joy to revisit Willamette Park. The challenge of going back to a park that you frequent on a regular basis is finding a different angle or a new composition and I definitely enjoyed doing that on this session.

This is a terrific night of fun and glamour! A group gets together at home (this can be girls or couples).

Portrait of a Pianist

Image
Yesterday, I re-created this stage-like shot with my alien bees. We were actually in the living room where James Blackburn gives his lessons. Behind him were two full length windows and a bookcase that I had to drop out. I used two lights. I had a third set-up with a snoot for the face but decided against it. This was a lot of fun!

Beautiful Children's Portraits

Image
Today, (of course the day that I am feeling under the weather and am taking it easy) my daughter and her playmates decide to dress up and allow me take photographs of them. They are starting to enjoy being photographed and relax more in front of the camera. I used my Alien Bees and 40D in the front yard. Post production in Photoshop. Here is one of the shots. I'll post more as I go through them.

Beautiful Baby Portrait

Image
Miss Elliott was the most delightful baby. At just 9.5 months, she is complacent and contented beyond her years. I love how she pensively looks out the window to watch what is going on outside. This photo has a Silverefex Pro Holga filter on it.

Willamette Auction Project

Image
I am very excited to be photographing for the this year's auction project. I will be taking a variety of candids and posed images, then making these photographs available to all families in the school. Special packages will soon be announced and 20% of all profits will go back to the Auction Project and in turn to the school.
