Introducing the Lovely Laia

Senior photos are so fun to photograph in Portland!  A very enjoyable photo shoot on Saturday with a lovely young lady named Laia. Shooting modeling test shoots for portfolios is a real delight. We photographed on the east side of the Willamette here in Portland in a variety of locations. I think the photos speak for themselves.

New Model Portfolio Images: How Old Are These Kids?

You'd probably never guess this lovely young lady is only 12. It still amazes me how mature an older child can appear when photographed right.

In the past couple weeks I've had several new model portfolio photography sessions in Portland, both on location in NE Portland, and in the studio in the Pearl District. I love working with young people; it's refreshing (if a bit chaotic at times) and the resulting photographs are always fun to review.

If you haven't had opportunity, visit and browse the updated modeling portfolio photography section of my new website. It's perty!

Ileana and Liliana in the Studio

I had some extra-fun models to work with recently for headshots and updated modeling portfolio photographs. Add in a ringlight to the mix, and we produced some pretty cool photos.

This was my first time working with 8-year old Liliana. She was squirmy and lovely at the same time, as 8-year olds tend to be. But who's complaining, with output like this?

You can also see this work on my new website portfolio of photography for Portland models and actors.





This was my third or fourth time working with Liliana, a local actress and model. She moved to Portland a couple years ago, and has been acting in the Portland area ever since.

I love working with redheads.

The Dada Children

We just had a whirlwind tour of Britagne with family friends of Shannon's, the Drouets. I took a lot of stock photography, and also some nice portraits of their daughter and grandchildren. Like England, the light has mostly been flat and gray and cloudy, but the last couple days the light was fantastic, especially in the evening. And it stays light here until 9:00pm, when we eat dinner. And yes, it's a big, late meal, replete with wine, cheese, and dessert. Good times. We're exhausted.

But I still love being a travel and editorial photographer!

Owen and Erika

It's a beautiful week for outdoor fall portraits here in Portland. Owen is a sweet child, and he and his beautiful mom worked with me as the sun was fading in the west, creating some fun and poignant portraits.

The Howley Wedding

If you know anything about my work, you probably know that I'm a sucker for photos of kids at weddings. This past weekend's wedding was no exception. Brian Howley and Sybil Weatherman were married at a family estate in Yamhill County. The light that day was awe-inspiring. There were probably about as many children as adults at the affair. Here are a few of them....

This is my new second shooter.

I mean, the picture is by my new second photographer Gretchen.

Gretchen wasn't wearing a fairy princess dress, although I'll have to rethink that rule.

Adaliah is off to Tibet

We have some friends who have been living and studying in China and Tibet for some time now. They recently returned to the states to have their first baby, by the name of Adaliah. They asked me to take a few photos of them before heading back to Asia.

I don't photograph babies too often, but boy can they make for goofy pictures. (There are many touching, beautiful porttraits as well; I'm just showing the goofy ones here....) Here are a few samples; I should set up a Caption Contest for them....
