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,…
A few months ago, the photography program at Mt Hood Community College invited me to come in and give a demonstration of my location photography work. I was honored to be invited, and we’ve been planning it ever since (waiting for my return from Thailand and Nicaragua…). Location portrait photography is a passion of mine, and I enjoy both the…
Portland’s Pearl District is a great place for location portraits. Between the new parks (Jamison and Tanner Springs) and the mix of old and new buildings, there are plenty of interesting locations to photograph. We photographed Meena, a local physician, in the Pearl, and had a great time walking and talking with her. Here are a few samples of what…

But they had nothing to worry about: the wedding was beautiful, it was well coordinated by Rachelle Jacobs of…
Vera Katz stepped out of the car, and I introduced myself. “Hi Vera, I’m Fritz.” “Fritz,” she said, “good to meet you. I just want you to know, I have no patience.” And so began my portrait session with former Portland Mayor Vera Katz. It might be her impatience that made her so effective as mayor. Serving as Mayor of…

Elizabeth Kirk used to work in the circus. Willie Smith works in politics. Similar enough professions, I suppose, that it’s no surprise that they got together. And when they get together, boy to the sparks fly! Literally. Willie and Beth’s wedding on June 23, 2007, was perhaps the most fun event I have ever photographed. Here’s the lineup: -A goofy,…
A few recent outtakes from photographic portrait sessions here in Portland, Oregon….
If you know anything about my work, you probably know that I’m a sucker for photos of kids at weddings. This past weekend’s wedding was no exception. Brian Howley and Sybil Weatherman were married at a family estate in Yamhill County. The light that day was awe-inspiring. There were probably about as many children as adults at the affair. Here…
