After their fabulous Puerto Vallarta wedding at Playa Fiesta, I teamed up with Melissa and Bryan and did some shots around Puerto Vallarta. Here are some:

Teri and Andrew joined us last week for their engagement session that took place at the historical Irving Park, in NE Portland. Their wedding will be later this month at the gorgeous St. Patrick Cathedral located in NW Portland and Kell’s Irish Pub, downtown Portland.
Here are some of our favorite shots from the afternoon -

I had the pleasure of getting to know Gabby and Andrea over the years and when the chance came up to do portraits with them at the beach, and I was available, I was very happy!
I lost one of my Alien Bee’s Cybersync’s to the ocean, but it was worth it! We picked a cool beach, and did some beach portraits with the waves crashing at Puerto Vallarta!

I participated in an event organized by EJP Events at the Nines Hotel where wedding professionals stopped by to get their family or headshot pictures taken while the kids had a fun time playing. Event Cosmetics did the make up and couple other photographers participated as well. Here are couple pictures in the blog, and the full set is here.

Autumn and Guy contacted me couple years ago to shoot their wedding. Unfortunately I was already booked. Couple years later, they touched base again for me to take some maternity pictures for them. Here are couple!


A new area I am working on is the high school senior portraits. Frankly, the ones I have seen are pretty boring.
I am attaching a photo that I took at my latest senior shoot. Don’t worry - we took plenty of standard poses. Then played around to get some more edgy and fun ones. Hannah was a very fun person to photograph and we got some great stuff.
My approach to high school seniors would be to shoot almost all outdoors - I love available light and natural backgrounds - be it industrial, parks, or sunsets. I especially like using studio lights outdoors. I will post an example of that soon as well.
