Drew + Tiffany Vol. 3

Here is the final installment of our photo shoot. These were all taken with my film camera (Nikon F100), developed by hand and scanned in. There is something very satisfying about developing by hand and as I've said before, shooting film in general. These shots are straight out of the camera with no manipulation in photoshop. I also really like the imperfections of the film look and grain quality. Fun stuff!

Drew + Tiffany Vol. 2

Drew + Tiffany! Vol. 1

To preface these photos I feel the need to echo the sediments of the great fashion model and philanthropist, Derek Zoolander: " I'm pretty sure there's more to life than being really, really ridiculously good looking". Indeed there is and to prove it I present for your enjoyment the photos of Drew and Tiffany. For not only are they indeed "ridiculously good looking" but also are the funnest and nicest people that you ever could meet.

For this shoot we went to an industrial section of SE Portland, Oregon. It's an area I drive by almost everyday and I was so excited that Drew and Tiffany were willing to do our shoot there.

I'll be rolling these all out in probably 3 different volumes because I shot some of them with film that I am developing by hand and then scanning in. (yay!)

Enjoy!

Meet the totally fun and totally photogenic Hellige family! You might remember Mitchell, their son, from some football pictures I took back several months ago. We met at Murase Plaza in Wilsonville, Oregon (which is just south of Portland) for their family photo shoot. I have used this location several times before and love the diversity of colors and textures that are present in the buildings.

Their relaxed and natural personalities really came across in the photos and I could have probably spent the rest of the afternoon taking their pictures it was so enjoyable. To view all of them please check out my proofing site.

Enjoy!

I am finally updating my blog with photos from a recent family shoot. It was honestly raining cats and dogs out on this day but they were troopers and we were able to get in a great shoot. Us Oregonians are a hearty bunch. :)

I had the pleasure of having a session with the Robinson family while all of the kids were back home from school. The next couple days will feature these photos. I love the intensity of this first one. Enjoy!

Warburton Family

Back in August during a family reunion, my sister-in-law and I did a little family photo swap. She is a very talented photographer and I attribute my success with photography in large part to her hints and help when I was just getting started. Here are some photos I took for her cute family. I don't know if it's because it's snowing here in Oregon but I went with a very warm style when editing these photos. If any of you are looking for an incredible photographer in the Los Angeles area please check her out here.

Enjoy!
