Photography, technology, marketing, and life
Ashlee and Kayla wanted to do a crazy makeup shoot, and I needed to test out the new Sony A7ii, so we got together to experiment. I turned my family room into a studio and we started shooting.
Kayla and I have canceled far too many shoots due to rain over the past year or so. So this time, we actually planned for a rain shoot.
Naturally, it didn't rain.
A quick morning photoshoot with Meagan. More images after the jump.
A while back, I had the opportunity to photograph three beautiful women in a collaboration project with a hair stylist and a makeup artist. We didn't move as quickly as planned, and Kayla ended up with only a few minutes of camera time. Since then, we've tried to get together to do another shoot, but weather and schedules always seemed to get in the way. This weekend, we finally had a chance to shoot.
Like a lot of dogs, mine hates fireworks. So rather than drug him this 4th of July, I decided to head out into the sticks. A friend owns 10 acres in Washington, and offered it up as a place to camp. It was remote, wild, and devoid of people. Perfect for escaping fireworks.
I've been lucky to watch these guys grow up, and it was awesome that they let me go to their graduation.
On one of my first trips to Oregon, my uncle took us to Honeyman State Park. It is, without a doubt, my favorite place on the Oregon Coast.
I've been in Portland now for almost exactly half my life. Long enough to occasionally be able to say, "I remember when..."
When I first moved out here, this sign looked better. My buddy's girlfriend lived right around the corner from here, so we spent quite a bit of time at Coach's Bar in this little strip mall, too.
I met Kanchan almost three years ago, and this is the first time our schedules have matched up for a shoot. She brought Kate, and we spent a few hours shooting up at Stub Stewart park. The Oregon weather cooperated, (finally,) and I think we got a few good shots.
