Pamela and Aaron have a beautiful house with lots of bright colors. They are also a modern couple who appreciates a more unique approach to photography, not just look at the camera and smile.
So when it came to their engagement pictures, I wanted lots of bold color, unique backgrounds and compositions. Lucky for me, Portland has a lot of cool locations for such engagement portraits. Here are some:
Rachel and Carlos were married at McMenamins Edgefield, one of our favorite places to shoot weddings. It also happened to be quite a windy day as well, with one of the trees by the old red water tower snapping like a toothpick. Rachel had a beautiful handmade dress by Cicada Designs in Seattle for her big day, and Carlos had a tie made from an unused portion of the same fabric, they looked great together.

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.
