These Days

Friday, August 14, 2009




So.
Tonight is the last night in my house.
It is such a surreal experience.
I will spend a few days out at a wedding photographers convention.
Then a week in Portland.
Then a week in St. Louise.
Then a week in transit between weddings.
Then a month teaching in Colorado at my photography school.
But as for tonight...
Tonight is the last night in my home.

In 2 weeks I have the honor of photographing Thao and Phong's wedding in Portland. We are so very excited! On Monday I sat down with this fabulous coulple to talk about thier wedding details. I learned some really sweet details (like Thao's orange wedding shoes) but this sweet couple also told me the unique story of thier families backgrounds. Wow! What stories! Both Thao and Phong's parents escaped to the US from Vietnam during the 1950's. This couple's family will have a rich heritage to which they will add thier own love story in just two weeks! Send us well wishes on August 23rd!


Vender Shouts!

There are few things more beautiful than a Wedding.

Everything detail about a wedding is planned out with special care. So many individuals are involved to make every detail perfect. Professionals. Family. Friends. Time, energy, and money are invested on great levels to create a beautiful and memorable day for everyone involved.

As a photographer, I get to capture the beauty that has been created by a large team. And I think it's really important to give credit where credit is due.

The Kelly wedding included some incredible vendors who made the event stunning.

Held at the stunning Vista Hills Vinyard in Oregon, the wedding boasted a fantastic view of surrounding vinyards and the lights of Portland!



The cake by JaCivas was extraordinarily beautiful! Complete with fresh flowers from Flowers for You.



Flowers for You arranged some of the most beautiful wedding floral I have ever seen.


Thank you all for making the Kelly's wedding such a phenomenal event!

Trigger Wedding Favorites!

Dana's wedding was one of the most enjoyable and adventurous I've photographed yet. It is so incredible to photograph the wedding of another world changer. Dana and I were both on a photographic team to New Zealand and Fiji last year with IPS. Her wedding brought a reliving of old times and memories!

I have posted a full album on facebook here, but these I must say are my absolute favorites!








"Portraits for Change"

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Do you believe your Portraits could Change the world?

I Do.

In November, I have the chance to go to Jaiper, India. My mission: Teach photography at Youth With a Mission’s "Create India" school. The students at this school are the ones who use media to reach the indigenous peoples of India. This is a world changing opportunity. However, YWAM
cannot afford to fly out their instructors. They ask that we cover our flight over, and then they will cover the rest for our time out there.

So you see, I have a goal:

I need to raise $1200 for my ticket to India. To this end, I am launching a fundraiser:

“Portraits for Change”

1 month. 12 portrait sessions. $100 a sitting.

For the month of August I am searching for 12 passionate clients who want to be involved in changing the world. These portrait sessions would raise enough to cover my flight. Sessions can be Senior Portraits, Engagements, or Family. This covers a 45 minute session, a cd for you - from which you can print 4x6 or 5x7s, and a gallery to order 8x10's and enlargements. All proceeds will go to my flight to India.

Thanks for the support. Please refer this opportunity on to anyone anyone you know would be interested in “Portraits for Change.” For the e-flyer, click here.

Please contact me for bookings and details.
