There is nothing like fall light in Portland for photographing senior portraits. It’s warm, low, and spectacular. Combine beautiful sunlight with a beautiful young lady with purple hair, and you have one fantastic senior portrait photography session! It was 45 degrees at Peninsula Park in NE Portland, where we took Casey’s senior photos, but that didn’t stop us from…

Madison and her mom drove over from Bend to Portland for her senior portraits–it’s always a high compliment to us when people travel several hours just to work with us for their portraits. And it was worth it! As you can see in the pictures, we had a great time together. Madison is also looking at colleges, and toured Portland…

We spent a day recently on a lake, in a boat, with Shannon and her husband, creating some photographs for her modeling portfolio. We ended up with a lot of great images photographed on their boat, on their classic red motorcycle, in the trees, and in the water. Rather than share the whole set of images, I just wanted to…

The day hadn’t started out very well for Lois… First of all, there was the suit. When Lois asked Clark if he was going to wear a suit for the wedding, he said, “Yes.” She didn’t know he meant the suit. She’d argued with him: If Clark wanted to get married, why not just wear a tux like a normal…

I’d known Jason from the musical group he was part of, Rescue, whom I’d photographed for one of their albums. Jason was marrying this beautiful woman, Judy, and at the same time inheriting three beautiful children. Well, believe it or not, the middle child…

I get to photograph some of the coolest people. Rosemary lives up in Mt Hood, above Hood River, and goes to Hood River High. At 18, she’s already a trained volunteer fire fighter. Can you believe that? This girl has spunk, and it shows. She likes the outdoors, Toyota trucks, and her dad’s choppers. She was looking for a photographer…

Kelsey lives in Woodland and goes to Woodland High School. She was telling me that she didn’t want the same standard senior portrait photographs that all her friends have, so she called me. She wanted someone who approached high school senior portraits more as an artist. I think I did her proud by creating some striking but unique portraits of…

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…

We’ve been having a great time at my Outdoor Location Lighting workshop at Pacific NW College of Art. This past week, we were out in the Pearl District with some of my favorite models, Lauren and Mark. You just can’t beat shooting in the magic hour before sunset. Or during sunset. With good portable strobes. The class was inspired, and…
