Nora & Jeff's Mt. Tabor Engagement Session

Looking through these photos it occurs to me I must have one of the best jobs in the world: Hey, I know, I'll get together with two adorable people who are obviously crazy in love, we'll all run around a park and act like goofballs, take fun photos, and post them where all our friends can see (and hopefully love) them. Then, in a month or so, we'll do it all again on one of the happiest and most exciting days of their lives. What could be better?

Welcome, Baby Juniper!

Rae and Aubrey were nice enough to have me over to take some pictures of their new baby girl last week. Little Juniper was reluctant to be photographed at first, but warmed up to it quite nicely! By the end of our shoot she was wide awake, looking around, and giving her mom some well-deserved smiles. It was fun photographing such an adorable family...

Zach's adorable family

Zach's new addition came along just about two months ago; I stopped by to take some pictures of his expanding family. Baby's big brother was there, too, and I have to say I'm not exactly used to five year olds, so I'm going to file this one under "fun new challenges." I think it came together pretty well!

I've also been playing with some new software, manipulating colors, adding grain and the like. It's easy to go overboard with new looks, so I've been trying to keep it in the realm of "subtle" while still adding some pop. How did I do?

Liz & Mark's Wedding

A lovely May wedding at McMenamin's Kennedy School, in beautiful Portland, Oregon. We lucked out with the weather. The bride and groom were so so happy, and incredibly adorable. Who could ask for more?
