Back in August, Sabrina and I headed down to the river for a paddle board shoot. It’s a spot I’ve driven past many times, but this is the first time I’ve stopped. I’ve been craving a water shoot for a while now, and even though the river wasn’t deep enough to get every shot I... Continue Reading →
Sabrina and I are getting pretty good at the quick impromptu shoots. There was a red leather jacket that we knew would look amazing on her, so we had to squeeze in a shoot the other day. No grand location--just a cool brick building downtown. We work well together, and I can't wait to see... Continue Reading →
I had the opportunity to work with a new model earlier this week. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to work with a new collaborative model. It’s not like hiring someone for a commercial shoot where the outcomes are clearly identified prior to showing up. It’s more of a, “show up and see if we have... Continue Reading →
Marissa wanted to do a shoot to highlight her tattoos, and I was 100% on board. I've always been a fan of awesome and meaningful ink, and now that I rent an office I have a good indoor place to shoot (it was damn cold last week.) Lily assisted as a stylist, and we lit... Continue Reading →
These are strange times. If I were a landscape photographer, I'd be set. But I prefer to photograph people, which is difficult when everyone is supposed to be staying at home. I saw other portrait photographers doing remote photoshoots over FaceTime/Zoom/whatever, so I asked Kayla if she'd be interested. She's always up for a challenge,... Continue Reading →
This Portland trip has been busier than most, but Kayla and I managed to carve out a couple hours for a quick shoot. It was a gorgeous day in Portland, so the window light was perfect. There's something to be said for working with the same models for years. We are able to spend less... Continue Reading →
Kayla had some ideas for a towel shot, so we figured we'd make a whole boudoir shoot out of it. It's been awhile since I've done a shoot like this, but we figured it out. Kayla rocked it, as always, and we ended up with some great images. The window light was great, but we... Continue Reading →
I finally made it back to Portland in September, and hung out for a few weeks. Naturally, I had to schedule a shoot with my three favorite models. We borrowed a house and just had fun.
We headed out to Sokol Blosser and White Rose to tase some wine and grab some photos. Because wine goes with photography, obviously.
I never have quite as much time as I'd like when I visit Portland. So instead of big shoots that require driving and setup and all that, we opted for something simple this time. Ava Roasteria has a great location in Progress Ridge next to a large pond. There are outdoor tables on the west... Continue Reading →
Another trip to Portland means another shoot with my favorite models. Ashlee couldn't make it this time, so Kanchan, Kayla, and I headed out in search of snow. We found a little up at Stub.
