Ever since returning from Europe I’ve had a dilemma: where to photograph? Having spent time in such beautiful places as Provence, Languedoc, Paris, Yorkshire, Budapest, etc., the terrain here in Portland seems bland. The villages of Europe have such lovely texture and color–from the warm yellow stone in Languedoc, to the reddish hues of Russillon,...
Hmmm. A few places come to mind.
-Mt. Angel
-Oaks Bottom
-Downtown Millwuakie (OR)
-Parts of Oregon City
-Various tall parking garages in Downtown Portland
Ever been to Leach Botanical Garden? I love it there. http://www.leachgarden.org/pages/history.php Their web site has no pictures, but here are some: http://www.flickr.com/photos/judyandpaul/2592039872/

Oh, and then there’s downtown St. John’s too, which is its own little world.
That’s all : )
This past summer, Scott and Leigh hired me to photograph their wedding next summer. These two like to plan ahead, which is a good thing when planning a wedding. They told me today they’re having an Italian duet–accordian and violin–play at their wedding, which sounds delightful. The weather this week has been splendid here in...

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. All photographs and content is Copyright Fritz Liedtke.

I travel wherever people want to send me to photograph!
I somehow need to teleport you to Southern California to take some portraits of Judah.
Now that the rain has passed, it’s time for outdoor portraits. Until more rain comes. It’s been a strange summer. I don’t think this is why they hired me, but Marissa’s family has a schnauzer named Fritz. It was both strange and funny to hear people calling “Come here Fritz! Come! Good boy!” and know...
