Bonus points here if you can tell me what book they’re reading! (One of my favorite children’s books of all time.)

She has some of the biggest eyes I’ve ever seen! Isn’t she adorable?!!

Kris and Bobi (and kids!), thanks for a great time! I can’t wait to show you the rest!

Did you catch the two sneak peeks I posted earlier? If not, check out part one and part two, then come back here for the rest! (By the way, you’ll notice in the previous posts that Fossil’s “real name” is John, but everyone calls him Fossil.)

I had a blast with Claire and Fossil in Columbia Park as we made some fantastic images! They’ve had a chance to see them all, so now I get to share them with you. Here are a few of our favorites; check out the slideshow for more – make sure to turn up your speakers!

I posted this one before in the second sneak peek, but I love it so much that I’m sharing it again here. Besides, it’s going to look awesome on the big gallery wrap canvas it’ll be printed on!

Make sure to check out the slideshow if you haven’t yet!

Did you see the sneak peek?

The Arc of Tri-Cities asked me if I would document the annual March for Respect this year. I was delighted to, and I had a great time photographing it (and keeping my cameras dry in the rain)! According to the official flyer, the March “is a public rally honoring citizens with disabilities on Saturday, March 28th, 2009. The rally will feature inspirational speeches that show respect and honor for those that live every day with a disability. This is a day to celebrate abilities.”

Here are some of my favorite images from the event.

Yes, I know this type of shot has been done a million times and it’s not very original, but I’ve always wanted to do “the heroic firefighter shot.” I like it, so I’m posting it!

I think this is my favorite from the day. Click the picture to see a larger version.

Thanks for looking!

I’ll have more for you soon!

Here are Josiah and Kefir’s more traditional “faces forward” portraits:

My goal with this set was to show a slice of preschool life. These are the ones I really love!

Share This

I’m taking the time to go through my images and pick out some of my favorites; I’ll be posting them here. Here’s the first:

I think this may be my favorite image from the entire wedding. It was taken just a couple of minutes before Jovelle walked down the aisle with her parents, and I love how there are several moments going on at once within the photograph. To see more detail, check out the larger image here.

I had the pleasure to be asked by Allan Tuan to shoot a wedding with him at the beginning of this month. Allan shot with me at the first wedding I ever photographed professionally (part one, part two) and I was glad to be able to return the favor. We had a great time and you can see some of Allan’s images on his blog. Here are a few of my favorite moments:

The bride and I grew up in the same church (her dad was and is the pastor) and my previous memory of her was as a little girl. Boy, do I feel old!

I know I’ve said this here several times before, but one of my favorite things about photographing weddings is being able to quietly document the bride and her dad in their last moments together before he walks her up the aisle.

If you’re on the main blog page, hit the link to see the full post and the rest of the images!

The bride’s dad also conducted the ceremony:

The lighting setup made for some really beautiful colors:

The groom hugging his new father-in-law:

I think this is my favorite series of images from the wedding. The groom was greeting guests in the foyer when his dad came up and grabbed him. I could hear him choking back the tears as he said, “I’m so proud of you!”

After his dad let him go, the groom’s grandfather embraced and kissed him.

The bride’s dad has always been into classic cars, so I expected something really cool for the getaway car. I wasn’t disappointed!

A few of my favorite moments from the reception:

Thanks Allan for the chance to shoot with you!

Did you see the blog post with a teaser from Cari and Kevin’s portrait session? Well, now that Cari and Kevin have had the opportunity to see all of their images, I can share some more favorites with you! The slideshow is up as well – enjoy it here!

We had a deliciously colorful fall day (and it was quite warm, too – looking at these is making me long for spring!), and we got to include their “kids” in the session. This session was just so much fun!

We started out with a walk in the park:

Then we spent some time by the water.

We let the dogs chill for a little bit while Cari and Kevin got some time with just the two of them:

We hung out in the leaves for a bit.

Leaf fight!

We finished off at a nice spot on the water – how sweet!

Cari and Kevin, thank you so much for a wonderful time. I had a blast, and I know you did!

P.S. If you didn’t watch the slideshow yet, click here to see it!

Here’s a quick favorite for you – I’ll share more once Cari and Kevin have the chance to see them all.

I’ll start out with one of my absolute favorites – Alexis peeking out the window:

The mansion:

The girls got ready in one of the rooms in the mansion – there was such beautiful light in here!

Alexis’ mom enjoying the portrait session:

Again, I love the light in this room!

And the groom, Chris – I love his expression here!

Isn’t she cute?

Yeah, I love window light!

Aren’t these callas beautiful?

The shoes!

Signing the marriage certificate:

Alexis and Chris’ son was the ring bearer. So cute!

Married!

I love watching the kids at weddings!

Cake!

I love this topper!

I love this one!

A chance to get away from the reception for a moment and just enjoy being with each other:

The toasts, given from the balcony:

Chris and Alexis enjoyed watching:

And while they were cutting the cake…

…everyone else was taking pictures!

The first dance:

Alexis and her dad:

Chris and his mom:

I love this image – so tender!

Back into the mansion for some portraits. It was so awesome to have the chance to photograph in here!

Crazy dancing time! Here are a few favorites:

The reception kept going late into the night:

And I’ll leave you with one last dancing shot.

Teresa, thank you for the chance to shoot with you again! Alexis and Chris, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to help document your day. Congratulations!

On August 16, which turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year (I think it was 106!), I had the opportunity to work as a second shooter with Teresa Anderson and help her document Lindsay and Bryson’s wedding. What a fantastic time! If you didn’t already see it, make sure to check out the sneak peek I shared.

I’m noticing a trend – I keep sharing more and more images. I can’t help myself. This time I have 51 for you! I can’t bring myself to whittle it down any further. Sorry about the load time, but I hope you enjoy them!

I titled this post “A Story in Pictures,” and I hope these live up to that name. My goal when I’m working as a documentary wedding photographer is to visually tell the story of the day, in the tradition of the great photo essays that used to appear in magazines like Life. I hope I’ve succeeded in doing that.

Here is the same image I shared before, this time in color. I like both versions so much that I decided to post this one as well.

The girls started out at Nouveau Skin Care & Day Spa – what an absolutely stunning place! This is in the room that was provided for the girls to hang out in while they waited their turn in the hair and makeup chairs. Beautiful!

Again, such an amazing place! The light and design in here is a photographer’s dream!

If you’re on the main blog page, hit the link to see the full post and the rest of the story.

Lindsay and her maid of honor:

The hairstylist’s artwork:

And into the makeup chair:

Another shoe shot. I had fun taking them around to cool spots within the spa.

Lindsay and Bryson’s first meeting before the wedding. They are such a sweet couple!

One of the things I love about being a second shooter is the ability to catch the action on the periphery that most people don’t see. The following series of images were all taken during the time for family and bridal party portraits.

I love being a witness to these tender moments!

The flower girl was the best man’s daughter. It was so obvious how much she loves her daddy!

Waiting:

Lindsay is a photographer herself, and had a great time posing!

Lindsay and her dad had a little bit of time together before it was time to walk down the aisle.

Giving her away:

Such a beautiful location! The ceremony and reception were both held at Ambiance Gardens.

You might not be able to tell in this small image, but Lindsay has tears welling up in her eyes here.

I love using lens flare! I really love how it makes a rainbow right over the couple’s hands here.

Yay!

Bryson being congratulated:

Lindsay and Bryson took the boat out on the pond at Ambiance. How fun!

I love this!

Mmmmmm…..I love Jones Soda! They had these as favors for all their guests – with their engagement pictures on them!

The centerpieces were so awesome!

Mmmmm….cake!

I think this is the sweetest, most romantic cake topper I have ever seen!

Some of my favorite moments from the toasts, as night fell:

And some of my favorite dancing images:

Bubbles! The DJs were Dave and Boomer from Riverside DJs. They did an awesome job – and their bubble machine was really, really cool!

The last dance:

I can’t leave this post without mentioning the wedding coordinators – Chrystal and Katy from Forever and a Day. The way they took care of things so that Lindsay didn’t have to worry was phenomenal! They really went above and beyond the call of duty, and I was really impressed. I hope I get to work with them again!

Lindsay and Bryson, thank you so much for allowing me to document your day! Teresa, thank you for the chance to work with you on such a beautiful wedding!

Share This

After the wedding, Teresa asked me if I would like to second shoot with her again for a wedding the following week. So, I had the opportunity to photograph my fourth wedding last Saturday. I am loving this! I get the opportunity to document one of the most important days in these families’ lives and help them remember what happened on that day. I’m able to stretch myself creatively and make beautiful, emotion-filled images that they will cherish for years. What an honor and a privilege! Teresa, thank you for asking me to come along!

Here is one of my favorite’s from last week’s wedding:

I had such a wonderful time photographing Jessica and Mac’s wedding! I’ve already posted a few of my favorite images from the day here. If you haven’t seen them yet, go check them out, then come back.

Here are just a few 25 of my favorite images for you to enjoy (yeah, I know – I can never whittle it down to just a few shots – there are always just too many that I love). For even more images, check out the slideshow!

Alright, on to the images! I’ll start with a few of my absolute favorites.

Mac, waiting for his cue. I love the anticipation on his face!

Emma loved being in the wedding!

Jessica, waiting for her ride:

I think kids have more fun dancing than the adults do!

If you’re on the main blog page, hit the link to see the full post and the rest of the images!

Back to the beginning of the day! Getting ready:

The guys got ready in the youth room in the church. They couldn’t resist the Foosball table!

Mac and his dad:

Moments before the ceremony:

A quiet moment. This is one of the reasons I love being a photographer. No one else gets to see a father’s last moments with his daughter before the wedding. I stayed for a short time, then left them alone.

I love this! Right in the middle of the ring exchange, Emma decided to join the ceremony.

Heading to the reception. I love the light in this image!

Mac and Jessica leaving for the reception:

Mmmmm….cake!

The topper was the same one that graced the top of Jessica’s parents’ cake!

Some moments from the reception:

The garter. I love their expressions!

While watching her daughter and her new son-in-law dance, Jessica’s mom started to cry. A friend came over to talk to her, and I love all the emotion and love for her daughter that you can see in her face here. To see an image of the first dance, check out my first post from the wedding if you haven’t yet.

Emma loves to be in the action! During the father-daughter dance she ran over and jumped into Grandpa’s arms.

I love the tender look on his face as he dances with his daughter.

Thanks for looking! If you haven’t yet, check out the slideshow to see even more images!

I photographed Jessica, Mac, their daughter Emma, and Jessica’s immediate family last September. When Jessica asked me if I would cover her wedding, I said yes. All I can say is wow! What an amazing experience! I feel so privileged and honored to have been able to document Jessica and Mac’s day for them.

I titled this post a “sneak peek,” and I figured I’d just choose a few quick favorites to share for now. Well, I ended up with fourteen for you to enjoy!

Jessica getting ready:

Some more getting ready shots:

I love mirrors! They make such wonderful compositional devices.

The beautiful dress:

Mac’s dad helping him get ready:

Finishing touches. Jessica was putting her makeup on, and attracted the attention of the ring bearer. He is so cute!

I love bubbles!

Okay – I have to tell you the story behind these two images. When it came time for Mac to go into the church, Emma did NOT want him to leave her. He picked her up to comfort her, and just held her for awhile.

As I shot this, I heard Mac whispering to his daughter, “I love you, Baby. I love you.” As a dad, it brought tears to my eyes.

The ring bearer and flower girl, both being carried. I love it!

Capturing moments, relationships, and emotions is my favorite part of being a photographer. Sometimes they all come together in one image.

Of course, Emma tried to steal the show!

Married!

I love this image!

The first dance!

I’ll have more images up in a bit. In the meantime, check out Allan Tuan’s blog! He shot the wedding with me, and he’s got some great images posted.

Jessica and Mac, thank you for the opportunity to document your day – it was wonderful!

Okay, here’s another hint for you:

These images were in preparation for something I photographed yesterday. It was an amazing, wonderful experience. I’ll share more with you soon!

Here are a few more images for you from my Trash the Dress shoot in Fort Worden. I’m really a photojournalist at heart – I go to a model shoot and some of my favorite shots end up being of other photographers! Ha!

These two are husband and wife by the way. Ninja photography!

I had the opportunity this weekend to hook up with some other photographers for an amazing photo shoot in Fort Worden (just outside of Port Townsend, Washington). I’ll let the images speak for themselves now, and I’ll share more later!

Did you get the chance to see the images from Jared and Charmane’s portrait session? If not, make sure to see them here, here, and here. Then, check out the slideshow!

Jared and Charmane got to see all of their images for the first time last night, so now I get to share them with you here. Yay! If you haven’t already, make sure to check out the first two teaser posts here and here – some of my favorites are in there. Now, on to more favorites!

We started out next to Monterosso’s Restaurant in Richland, which is a 1947 Pullman Dining Car – on its own tracks! The staff was so gracious in allowing us to shoot outside the restaurant, and it’s really cozy inside. Based on that and the recommendation from Charmane, I’m going to have to take Athena there sometime. Anyway, I really love the color and look of the train car – it made a perfect backdrop for us!

Some details – Charmane made the bouquet from fresh roses just for our session. Doesn’t it look awesome?

I really love the emotion here!

We headed down to the dock at Howard Amon Park – I really love the images we made!

I left them to themselves for a bit and stepped off the dock, but kept shooting from a distance. I love the reflection!

So peaceful!

I really love these two images!

Thanks for looking! I’ll have the slideshow up soon – make sure to check back! Update: it’s online. Enjoy it!

This is becoming one of my favorites from this session. The light is fantastic, and I love those stockings!

Here’s another favorite. I really love the satiny look of that gown!

Share This

Jared and Charmane got married five years ago, so this evening they got dressed up in their wedding clothes and we went out on the town to get some fun images that they never had the chance to make on their wedding day.

I’ll post more later next week once they’ve had a chance to see them all. Enjoy!

Alright, here are the images of my first family portrait album that I promised you yesterday. I am so excited to share these with you, and I am delighted to be able to offer such beautiful books to my wonderful clients!

By the way, if you haven’t yet, make sure to turn up your speakers and enjoy the slideshow I put together of the design. Okay, back to the images of the album!

Yes, the images are printed directly on the cover (and yes, the family’s name is blurred only on the web, not on the actual book, for their privacy).

Some more images of the outside of the book.

Now let’s open the album. The front and back inside covers are classy black.

The first spread.

And the last spread.

Here’s a close up of the last spread, showing the fine art matte texture of the pages. Beautiful!

Another spread – I love the images on these pages!

And a close up of that same spread, showing the detail of the crease. I love how the pages are seamless, allowing perfect panoramic images without a gap in the middle. Can I say it again? Beautiful!

Here are all of the spreads at once! If you want to see what they look like, make sure to watch the design slideshow.

I’ll leave you with an image of my favorite spread. Thanks for looking!

Do you remember the portraits I did of Antoine and Rocio’s family in Cannon Beach? If not, here are parts one, two, three, and the slideshow. I’ve designed an album for them, and now I get to share it with you! Here’s one of my favorite spreads (opposite pages that together make one design):

And a slideshow of the entire design – the cover and 23 spreads.

The book is on its way to the family now, but I snagged a few images of it (Okay, “a few” translates to “over a hundred,” but what can I say? It’s gorgeous!) before I shipped it off. I’ll share them with you soon (Well, I’ll share a few – not all hundred!)!

Such a precious moment!

I said this in the last post, but I love the bright, vibrant colors in Calista’s room!

Riding the rocking horse!

Ice cream time – look at that HUGE cone!!!

I love this…Rob and T.L. in the background, having fun watching their little girl…Calista just enjoying eating.

Sneaky, Rob!

The aftermath. She looks disappointed that she couldn’t finish the whole thing!

I love this image!

Bathtime!

I love these details!

Time for washing…

…and rinsing!

Calista is just so stinkin’ cute!

A quick towel-off…

…and it’s into PJs to play a bit before bed:

Such cute little hands!

I absolutely love these last two images!

Thanks for looking through all of these! I hope you enjoyed them, and I’m sure I’ll add more images of Calista throughout the year when our families hang out together.

Share This

I’m back with more, and I’ve got so many favorites that I’m going to have to divide it into two posts! Make sure to watch the slideshow after you’ve enjoyed these!

Getting ready for the session:

We started out with Calista in diapers – she did not want to get dressed after this!

T.L. did manage to get Calista dressed, and we went to the kitchen for a bit.

I love the colors in Calista’s room!

Calista spent awhile with Rob…

…throwing sugar packets!

They played “catch” with Rob’s wedding ring:

I love the colors of all the toys in these images!

Clapping!

High five!

This is only the first half of our session! Check back tomorrow for some fun images with ice cream and then bath time! In the meantime, enjoy the slideshow!

I’m having such a fun time with these gorgeous images! I’m not quite done working on them all, but I wanted to share some more of my favorites with you. I hope you enjoy them!

Can you imagine a more beautiful backdrop for a family to hang out and play?

I had no idea how many awesome locations the Cannon Beach area has! I’ve been here several times with my family when I was a kid, and a few times as an adult, but I don’t think I ever made it outside of the Haystack Rock area. We started out at Ecola State Park…

…and moved on to Hug Point:

I love reflections!

Have you ever seen a waterfall right next to the ocean? Beautiful!

I love this image!

We ended at Haystack Rock, just in time for the sunset!

A few of the kids…

Aren’t they a great looking couple?!

I still have some more favorites to post for you – check back soon! We made a lot of great images – too many to share only a few!

Oh, I want to make sure to put in a plug for the business Antoine and Rocio own here, Haystack Lodgings. I am so enjoying the house they’ve put us up in – I’ll try and get some images of it to share with you before we check out today. If you’re planning on staying in Cannon Beach, you should definitely check them out!

My family will be hanging out at the beach for a while today, and we’ll take some of our own family portraits. Make sure to check back soon, and I’ll have a bunch more of Antoine and Rocio’s images to share with you, as well as some of our own!

Oh, and of course, make sure to watch the slideshow!

I just love the warm light at sunrise!

Again, I just love this light!

I love shooting by the water!

Doesn’t he look so cool here?!

When the light got harsh, we started shooting among the trees. I love these!

This was just such a cool looking building.

This is one of my favorite images from the shoot…

…so I decided to give it a cool cross-processed look. Doesn’t he just look awesome?!

There are more great images in the slideshow – don’t miss it!

Back in the middle of July, Jared and Charmane and their three kids got together with me and we had an awesome photo session! A while ago, Charmane called to let me know that Jared’s family was coming down for a week from Canada, and they wanted to do a portrait session with the whole group. It turned out to be such a fun time, and I have so many beautiful images, that it’s hard to whittle it down to just a few for you. Enjoy them, and don’t miss the slideshow!

We started out with the whole group…

…then moved on to some smaller groupings. Here’s Jared, Charmane, and their kids, along with Chloe, Jared’s younger sister.

Jared’s brother Andrew and his fiancée Ivy are getting married next year. Don’t they look cute?!

I love this shot!

Colleen and her husband Mike are such a great couple!

Coleen sure has fun being a grandma with baby Keely!

Chloe hanging out with her dad:

Doesn’t this look like fun?!

This is just so cute – I love it!

Chloe with her future sister-in-law:

That’s Rory on Jared’s shoulders.

Chloe’s only pretending to be camera shy!

Victor and Chloe had fun goofing off for me!

Colleen, Mike, and Chloe took a walk along the beach.

I saw them eyeing the geese, but I had no idea…

…what they were planning!

Andrew and Ivy took a walk along the beach as well, but they didn’t chase the geese!

I love these images.

Especially this one!

Chloe ran in while we were shooting. This one is so cute, with her hanging on her big brother!

Colleen and Mike with their grandkids. I just love the light at sunset!

Colleen with her boys. Don’t they look great?!

And the final group portrait of everyone together on the beach:

Thanks, everyone! It was a wonderful time!

We had such a fun time in Leslie Groves Park – it’s been one of my favorites since I was a kid. Now it’s one of my favorite places to shoot family portraits! Here are some of my favorites from this session for you.

Oh, by the way – make sure to watch the slideshow!

We started out among the trees with the family dog:

Then moved down to the river. I just love the light here!

She really likes her uncle!

She had so much fun playing peekaboo!

Absolutely adorable!

If you haven’t already, make sure to take a look at Emilee’s first set of images.

We started out behind the library. We had such fun trying out different poses in this window!

We moved out to the demonstration gardens near the library. What a beautiful place!

I tried experimenting with some sun flare. Both Emilee’s family and I love the results!

“Do you want to jump?” I asked.

“Oh, yeah!”

If you missed it, make sure to check out the slideshow!

Oh! Make sure to watch their slideshow!

Playing with their adorable cats at home:

Walking and playing in the park:

I love this spot in the park!

Some really dirty feet after all our hiking around! Can you guess who had been wearing shoes and socks, and who had been wearing sandals?

You wouldn’t believe how dark it was getting by the time we took these last ones. They had to hold really still for me!

If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss the slideshow!

On Saturday we headed out to the Demonstration Gardens near the Kennewick Library, and just had a blast! Here are a bunch of my initial favorites – I haven’t had a chance to go through all of the great images yet! I’ll have more to share with you once Emilee and her family get to see them all first. Enjoy!

Wow! What a fun time!

Here are a few of my favorite images from this session – I’ll share more with you as soon as the family gets to see them all.

Isn’t she just adorable?!!

Still to come are lots more images on the river, and some great ones with the family dog among the trees!

I tried as hard as I could to narrow down the image selection, so as not to overwhelm you with pictures on the blog. I cut it down to 19. I’m sorry, I know that’s a lot, but I just couldn’t let any of these not make it on the blog — I love them too much!

I’ve just gotten a brand new slideshow program and I am loving it! I stayed up last night (okay, until 4 a.m.!) tinkering with it, and I have a slideshow of Jared and Charmane’s family portraits to share with you. I am stoked — I love this so much! Check it out!

We had so much fun on this shoot, and the family had a blast playing soccer:

These are some great moments of the family enjoying time in the park together!

This gazebo is actually the spot where Jared and Charmane got married!

Isn’t their baby girl adorable?!!

While he was enjoying being photographed…

…his brother was off to the side playing peek-a-boo!

He had so much fun!

Charmane’s baby is just so cute!

He sure loves the camera!

My wife Athena came along to play with Jared and Charmane’s kids so they could have some time alone (well, with me shooting them, at any rate)!

I already mentioned that this gazebo is where Jared and Charmane married. It was their idea to shoot here (at the Demonstration Gardens in Kennewick) and the fact that they got married here made it so sweet! Awesome idea guys — I love that!

We finished the session off at the water play area. The water came on unexpectedly at one point and surprised them:

I just love the colors in these two images!

This moment is so sweet!

She looked so cute and peaceful in her daddy’s arms…

…and then fell asleep.

I hope you enjoyed these! If you haven’t already, make sure to check out Jared and Charmane’s slideshow for even more images.

He, his wife Susan (who has also been a friend of ours for a long time — in fact, she was Athena’s maid of honor!), and their two adorable kids came over Saturday afternoon and hung out for awhile, then we headed over to Leslie Groves Park in Richland for the shoot. It rained, but we had a blast!

Here are a few of my favorite images for you as a teaser:

Their older son was absolutely fascinated by my camera, and kept running to me and staring into the lens!

So far, this is my favorite from the shoot:

The couple have a deck at the front of their house with an awesome view of the Columbia, so we braved the cold and ventured outside for awhile. It was a gorgeous day for photography — overcast with nice, even lighting — but it was cold! I remember noticing that the lagoon I drove past on the way to their house was frozen over. Thanks guys, for braving the chill for the sake of making some great images!

Enjoy the slideshow!
