As Grace embarked on her senior year of high school, she wanted to commemorate this milestone with a special photo session that would capture her personality and the beauty of her surroundings. To ensure we captured artistic senior portraits, we chose George Rogers Park, located in Lake Oswego, Oregon, as the picturesque background. George Rogers Park offers stunning natural backdrops…
Winter in Oregon is often a wet and soggy affair. But for Sarah and John’s December wedding, we ended up with a lovely, dry day in which to photograph. While cold, we still had a great time, both indoors and out. Especially considering we were at the lovely Oregon Golf Club. Sarah’s maid of honor–her sister Becca–was kind enough…
I’ll give you fair warning from the outset: this will probably devolve into a blog post about cute children. So consider yourself warned. Several years ago, I photographed Alex Freeman’s senior portraits, and a few years after that, I photographed his brother Dan’s senior portraits. I have to admit, it made me feel old to have Alex and Dan’s dad…
Rose loves to laugh! In fact, it was hard not to take a photograph of her not smiling or laughing. As a senior at St Mary’s Academy, Rose has been a varsity volleyball player, until a recent injury put her on the sidelines. But that hasn’t kept her from a tour of Europe with her French class, or from doing…
The few weeks surrounding Christmas and New Year’s are kind of like a second summer in Oregon, in terms of weddings. Minus, of course, the sunshine and warmth of summer, and with the addition of a great deal of clouds and precipitation. Which is why, at Mike and Christa’s wedding at the Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, they put…
Summer seems so long ago. At least now we’re past the solstice, and are wending our slow way back to more sunlight. Speaking of which, here are a couple of summer portraits, of a young lady from Lake Oswego. Doesn’t that sunlight on her shoulders make you warm all over? It makes me want to head to Mexico for a…
Heritage High School in Vancouver is new, and massive. In the early morning light, the 3 baseball fields glisten with the dew on the grass and the fine layer of spiderwebs that cover every inch of the ground. Our breath glows in front of our faces as if we were smoke-breathing dragons. Into this scene steps James, varsity baseball catcher…
I’ve known Grace since she was in the 7th grade. She was going to Portland’s DaVinci Arts Middle School while I was there working on a photographic project on adolescence. One day I looked out the classroom window and saw Grace down on the swingset, wearing a pearl necklace and jeans and Converse, looking a little melancholy under the gray…
Well, I’ve only included one photo of Amanda with her cello here, but she does play one… I love creating unique, personalized senior portrait photographs like these, in Portland, Oregon, and beyond!
On Wednesday I had a portrait session scheduled with a young lady who is the younger sister of someone I had photographed a few years back. I waited at the Washington Park Rose Gardens for her to show up, enjoying the warm sunlight and the scent of the roses. After a while, her mom walks up to me, and asks…
Portland high school senior portrait photography are just an excuse for me to take some really cool photos of cool young people, such as this young lady from Lake Oswego. That’s how I look at them, anyhow. Instead of me having to go and find models/subjects to shoot, they come to me….
High school senior portrait photographs can be rather dull and repetetive. That is, if you go to a studio that manufactures them like the Chinese manufacture plastic toys. I try to keep mine fresh and interesting, and try to do something different every time. This includes interesting lighting, which I got by the boatload yesterday: the sun shining off the…
