I love watching my families grow! I really do! It’s one of my absolute favorite things.
Portrait Sessions: A Recipe for Disaster
Your most precious photos are the ones that captured a specific moment in time that you can never get back and may be in a place that you hold dear with those you hold dear, even when they irritate you.
The Importance of Legacy
That’s such a big word, legacy. Big in that it holds a lot of weight. Weight to get it right. Weight to persevere, to make sure you keep doing the tradition, whatever that might be. Weight to be an example. All of that weight aside though, legacy is really just the passing down of who you are, who you are …
Your Day, Your Moments, Your Story
That’s my new tagline, I’ve decided. I like it. I needed to put an ad in the pamphlet for Brides and Basketball, a bridal show I will be a part of on the 1st of April at the Memorial Coliseum right before the Blazers battle it out with the Timberwolves. I would love to see you there, the show begins …
A Job Well Done
I think it’s pretty clear by now that I love weddings and everything associated with them. In the end, what I love best is the couple and all their little nuances and moments and the things that make them them. It’s my job to showcase that. If I accomplish that, I’ve done my job. But almost even better than new …
A Few of my Favorite Things
I have been dying to blog about this portrait session, but I have been in the throes of wedding season and just have had my head focused on weddings, weddings, weddings. Which, by the way, I love and don’t blog enough about I’ve realized. They really are one of my favorite things to photograph. I think partly because, really, my favorite …
Cool by Association
I am not the cool one in my family, cute, sometimes funny, but not the cool one. The cool one is my brother. I’m not saying this in a jealous way, I’m saying this in a “yeah, I’m with the band” kind of way and in this case, that statement is completely true. Part of what makes my brother cool …
Spring Installment 2
While I know that it’s the middle of June, and I don’t think technically spring anymore, I had just a few more things to say about spring. First, I already miss it. Second, there’s a field I pass on my way to church every Sunday that, in the spring, takes my breath away. There are two places in the world …
Go Get ‘Em Boys
Earlier this year amongst all the rain, I desperately needed just two hours of rain-free shooting. The thing is, I had a portrait session I needed to get perfect. The Dillon boys, Jake and Brian, were getting ready to present themselves to the worlds of acting and modeling and I needed to get it right. You can’t just show up …
Spring Installment 1 (hopefully there will be a 2nd)
Today, I was planning to blog about something completely different. I think I’ve fallen head over heels in love with spring. It’s shockingly beautiful when you really look at it. This picture of pink trees is the view I get when I turn left onto Mill Plain from my house. Something so completely mundane matched with something so absolutely stunning. I …
