Eric and Chelsea

Thursday, November 27, 2008

Before heading off to New Zealand and Fiji, I spent a full Saturday photographing the beautiful union of Chelsea and Eric. Talk about an incredibly fun couple! We had a thoroughly full and exciting day...

We started out at a beautiful salon in Portland.

The window light there was perfect for a ring shot.

By 1pm we had arrived at the church where all the girls began getting all dolled up!

Eric's brothers were so much fun! They all look so much alike!

Ever the perfect groom, Eric could not stop thinking about his beautiful bride.

Chelsea was such a calm bride.

Isn't she absolutely beautiful!?!

There is nothing more special than observing and photographing the close friendships of a bride and her bridesmaids.

A more adorable bride cannot be found. Chelsea's hands curved into a heart shape without any coaching!

Cuteness found in the flower girl!

It was quite an emotional ceremony. All the family members teared up...

These two were so relaxed once the ceremony was over!

What a laid back wedding party! We had so much fun! They were so excited to have bubbles!?!

The evening light cascading over the fall colors was stunningly gorgeous!

Relaxed and creative, we went for outside the box with these frames - or should I say, inside the box? ;-)

Thanks so much Chelsea and Eric for a wonderful day! Blessings as you begin your new life together!

I'm Back...

I spent the last 5 weeks continuing the life of a missions photographer in New Zealand and Fiji with IPS. The trip proved to be amazing, and confirmed to me that missions photography is indeed a passion for me. Look for my book of New Zealand landscapes the second week of December.

As incredible as the trip was, I realized how much I missed my wedding clients. ;-) This December I spend quite a bit of time developing and redesigning my websites and marketing campaign. Also, look for me at the Portland and Pudget sound mywedding bridal shows!

The Life of a Photographer

Saturday, October 18, 2008

So, when the hustle and bustle starts melting away, and before the mad preparations for my New Zealand trip begin, I get some quiet time to perform tasks such as backing up photo's and clearing hard drives.

And in these moments, I discover some nice surprises from previous trips like this landscape from my time in Colorado.

In a little over a week, I'll be heading out to New Zealand to lead a missions photography training program. I'll return to the states just in time to meet up with my family in LA for Thanksgiving.

Keep watch for some really sweet stories of New Zealand adventures!

Joby And Paula

Sunday, October 5, 2008


A fabulous weekend of weddings and engagements continued with a perfect Sunday afternoon at the beach. Joby and Paula - two dear friends - asked me last minute if we could take advantage of the beautiful weather to take engagement portraits at Canon beach. When someone says gorgeous weather at the beach, you will find me there!

Paula and Joby are a truly wonderful couple. I have been honored to watch them as their engagement has progressed. We look forward to their wedding on January 2nd, 2009. But until then, here is a little glimpse of their love and relationship.

Cheers!

Portraiture and Lighting

Thursday, September 25, 2008






I have reached the last 24 hours of my time here in Manitou Springs in Colorado. Katie Miller, Hannah Brandeau and myself have spent the last week teaching 8 students the ins and outs of studio and on location portraiture.

On Wednesday, I spent some time with the students by creating some really dynamic portraits of them - oh, and all within a 12 foot by 12 foot space. It was fabulous. We had a good time, and came away with some beautiful portraits.

I love creating portraits anywhere.
