As Grace embarked on her senior year of high school, she wanted to commemorate this milestone with a special photo session that would capture her personality and the beauty of her surroundings. To ensure we captured artistic senior portraits, we chose George Rogers Park, located in Lake Oswego, Oregon, as the picturesque background. George Rogers Park offers stunning natural backdrops…
Jenkins Estate is a great location for portraits, and Vanessa’s senior portraits were no exception. It was such a joy to spend the afternoon with Vanessa at Jenkins Estate. She attends International School of Beaverton, and is most excited to get all her IB assessments in for the senior year! She also said that she plays the piano and loves to play…
Madison and her mom drove over from Bend to Portland for her senior portraits–it’s always a high compliment to us when people travel several hours just to work with us for their portraits. And it was worth it! As you can see in the pictures, we had a great time together. Madison is also looking at colleges, and toured Portland…
Kate lives in the Columbia River Gorge, in Corbett, and goes to Corbett High School. So it’s no surprise that she wanted to have her senior portrait photography out in the Gorge as well. She came in to the studio to have her hair and makeup done, and then we headed out to the Historic Columbia River Highway to shoot. …
Kelsey lives in Woodland and goes to Woodland High School. She was telling me that she didn’t want the same standard senior portrait photographs that all her friends have, so she called me. She wanted someone who approached high school senior portraits more as an artist. I think I did her proud by creating some striking but unique portraits of…
Jeff and Caitlin were married at the ever-popular and beautiful McMenamin’s Edgefield. With lovely light, and lots of laughter, and such a beautiful bride, we really enjoyed capturing this love story for posterity. There was even a soccer match at the reception! Portland Oregon McMenamins Edgefield Wedding Photographers We’re proud to be an award-winning Portland wedding photographer, and would love…
Rose loves to laugh! In fact, it was hard not to take a photograph of her not smiling or laughing. As a senior at St Mary’s Academy, Rose has been a varsity volleyball player, until a recent injury put her on the sidelines. But that hasn’t kept her from a tour of Europe with her French class, or from doing…
It’s not uncommon for me to book wedding, portrait, or magazine assignments with people from out of town, people I’ve never met in person before. So it’s enjoyable to meet a couple for the first time when we shoot their engagement portraits. It’s a great way to get to know each other before the big day, and to create some…
What could be funnier than a cat walking by and shaking its behind? Apparently, nothing at all. And that’s just great by me, because once the Drazan kids started laughing, the photographs just got better and better. Shake your booty, baby. I photographed these beautiful children and their parents back in the Fall, and they had me return for some…
Continuing with my string of posts (read the two previous posts) related to Facebook and photography, let me tell you the story of Christine Drazan. Christine and I were friends in college, nearly 20 years ago, at George Fox. The last time I saw her was at her wedding, in the mid-nineties. As happens in life, our paths parted, and…
Gabby is a volleyball player from Vancouver, and you can tell: she’s tall. And beautiful. (I don’t think either of those things have to do with the fact that she’s from Vancouver.) With a little attention from our hair and makeup stylist, she was ready for an evening on the Columbia River with me. After photographing for a couple hours…
Roxy Mayer, a Lincoln High School Student, is a triplet (with two brothers). With a little styling from AJ’s Hair and Makeup, and the assistance of Roxy’s friend Molly, we had some fun with these portraits. She laughs easily, and is easy to photograph. We had a great time creating these beautiful Portland senior portraits in the Eastside Industrial Area…
