Kate and Dennis - Engagement Session

I met up with Kate and Dennis on the Portland Waterfront on Sunday for a quick engagement shoot. We caught a bit of a drizzle and some cloud cover, but I'm still quite happy with the shots. Spending time shooting on the docks was certainly a highlight, I love how the water and bridges play into the background!

Kate and Dennis really are a sweet couple -- affectionate in a shy, playful kind of way that's simply charming. It was great trying to capture that chemistry in these shots.

Carlie and Tim - Engagement Session

A Day at the Beach

Met up with Carlie and Tim in Lincoln City on Sunday for some engagement pictures. Wow, the drive out through the countryside is really something to see. The two had first heard of me through Gretchen and Camas's wedding this past summer.

There was a bit of a concern for the weather earlier in the day, but by afternoon the beach was simply gorgeous. The coast is just a great place to shoot pictures, and some of my favorite shots of the day were taken beneath this really cool looking old dock.

Tim is a photographer himself, so it was great talking shop a little bit; he said it was interesting to take a turn in front of the lens for a change. They're a great couple and I'm quite happy with how the shots turned out. I need to shoot pictures on the coast more often!

Kelsi - Model Shoot

Met up with Kelsi and Aimee this morning at the studio for some really fun shots. I brought along my mobile strobe lights (woo, Pocket Wizards!) so we took the shoot outdoors and I'm really happy with how the shots look. I love the personality and energy Kelsi brought to the table. Darrin - Yes, that's your guitar!






Robin - Bridal Fashion Shoot

I'd been working on organizing this bridal photo shoot for a few weeks, and I'm pretty darn happy with how the shots are turning out! It certainly was a very fun experience coordinating all of the elements involved.

Tim, my good colleague and cohort from Digital Works Productions, was on hand to contribute creative ideas as well as document the shoot on video.

Aimee was extremely enthused to contribute her makeup talents, and Robin was our awesome model.

Special thanks to Helena of Ania Bridal in downtown Portland who was generous enough to loan us a pair of wedding gowns by Augusta Jones.
