Portland Oregon Portrait and Wedding Photography Blog
While photographing in Sisters, Oregon, I met Kendyl when she and a friend offered to model for a fine art project I was working on. She was so lovely to work with! And it turns out she dreamed of becoming a professional model, so her mom hired me to create her first modeling portfolio for her. We got together a…

We really enjoy helping people get started with their modeling and acting careers. When Seneca’s mom approached us about a model portfolio photoshoot in Portland, we were excited. She wanted a test shoot to see how Seneca would look in professional photos, and to see how she would do in front of the camera. And she did great! Check out…
I tend to find a lot of my inspiration as a photographer and artist from the world of painting. Don’t ask me why I’m not a painter, or why I don’t find more inspiration from photography. I’ll take inspiration where I can find it. On a recent browse through the Portland Art Museum’s permanent collection, I was struck by a…
I’ve met a lot of interesting people as I’ve photographed for the Astra Velum series over the past few years. Occasionally, I create an image that works well for the series, and also some other images for other uses. With Celine and her mother Ute, I was able to create a variety of images that I liked. And so did…
I was recently in Boise, Idaho, to photograph a wedding. It’s always a great day when I get a gig in Idaho, because it means I get to spend some time with my uncle and aunt, Paul and Marsha, and their kids and grandkids. While there this last time, we went out to Nampa to spend some time with my…
In 2007, I had the privilege of photographing a wedding out in the country, on an estate that included a lake and an outdoor model railroad, and a lot of children. It was a beautiful day, and Gretchen and I had a great time photographing Brian and Sybil’s wedding. Fast forward 3 years, and I get a call from Sybil,…
The longer I’m around this planet, the more opportunities I have to discover that it really is a small world. I’ve photographed students at DaVinci Middle School, here in Portland, since about 2001. I began there working on my fine arts thesis project, working with several teachers and tons of students, observing, photographing, and writing. I loved working with the…
What could be funnier than a cat walking by and shaking its behind? Apparently, nothing at all. And that’s just great by me, because once the Drazan kids started laughing, the photographs just got better and better. Shake your booty, baby. I photographed these beautiful children and their parents back in the Fall, and they had me return for some…
I just love to photograph children, and have from the very beginning of my interest in photography. Among the many assignments and adventures I’ve had in Nicaragua, I’ve often had opportunity to turn my lens on many children. (One of the striking features of some people here in Latin America is their light-colored, often green or blue, eyes.) Here are…
While in Esteli, Nicaragua, I’ve spent several days working with a non-profit called Instituto de Formacion Permanente. Among their many programs, INSFOP offers a Saturday day camp for marginalized youth. They pick the kids up by bus in the city, and drive everyone just past the outskirts of Esteli, to their camp. (Do you remember those schoolbuses we rode in…
