Rebecca and Erik - Sneak Peek

I shot Rebecca and Erik's wedding a week after Leia and Seth's - which both took place at the Porltand LDS Temple. It was a relaxed, laid back day so we had quite a bit of time for photos, which is always nice! Here are a few photos from the day...

More to come soon...

Hodson Family Portraits

I was glad to fit in another outdoor portrait session before the cold (read: rain) hit. I recently did a family portrait session for the Hodson family. Lexy, the older daughter, had me shoot her senior portraits a few months ago, and I was excited when her mom asked if I'd take a few photos of their whole family.

Here are a few photos from the session:

Thanks, Hodsons! =)

Leia and Seth - Sneak Peek

My wife and I shot Leia and Seth's wedding a couple weeks ago - and we had a great time. Their families were wonderful to work with and they were all real troopers, considering it was a pretty chilly day! Here are just a few photos from the day...

...more to come in a few weeks!

Homola Family Portraits

I was excited to be able to do a photo shoot for our good friends, the Homola family. We wanted to get this photo session in before all the amazing fall colors disappeared, and I'm so glad we did. The colors were wonderful. Thanks for being so darn good lookin', guys! =)

I couldn't resist including this one of their adorable daughter - it makes me laugh every time!

My Siblings - School Photos

While we were home in the Midwest for Randall and Rachel's wedding (and to shoot Tacie's senior photos), I also did a mini-photo shoot with my younger siblings for their school photos. I love these kids so much and had a great time playing around with them and trying to get them to smile seriously for these pictures. =)

I love you guys.

Tacie's Senior Photos

We recently returned from a trip to the Midwest... we traveled back to be a part of and photograph Randall and Rachel's wedding, but we also spent some time with our families (who both live in Wisconsin). While I was at my parent's house, I was able to do a senior photo shoot with Tacie.

Tacie is a senior at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Wisconsin - her and her brothers have been a part of our family for close to two years now. We're thankful for the times that we've been able to spend together and are excited for Christmas time, when we'll be home with the family (all 19 of us!) for 10 days. =)

Here are a few photos from the session:

Jon's Senior Photos

I recently shot Jonathan's senior photos at McMenamins Edgefield and it was great timing to do outdoor portraits. The leaves were displaying some brilliant fall colors and the weather was pretty mild.

Jon traveled up to Portland area from down near Roseburg, Oregon to do this senior portrait session - he even brought his drum set with so we could get some fun shots with that included.

Thanks, Jon! It was fun to get to know you. Have a great rest of your senior year.

Rachel and Randall's Wedding

In October, my family and I flew to Chicago to shoot a wedding of our dear, dear friends. My wife was a bridesmaid in the wedding and I was given the honor of taking pictures for this awesome couple. Randall and Rachel are great friends of ours from when we were living in Chicago - we had the privilege of watching their relationship unfold and (ahem) playing a pretty major role in their getting married. =)

The wedding took place at a mansion and retreat grounds called the Great Lakes Leadership Campus in Elburn, IL. It all took place outdoors and was a beautiful wedding.

Here are a few photos from the day.

We love you guys.

Danielle and Darin

Danielle and Darin are engaged to be married in January 2009. They'll be getting married in the San Francisco Bay area, but we were able to do an engagement session around the EcoTrust building here in Portland.

Congratulations, guys!

DelRae's Senior Photos

DelRae is a senior at Clackamas High School. She plays soccer there and is deciding on which college to attend - she may head to one in Wisconsin (where I am from!).

We shot these photos at McMenamins Edgefield on a nice, but a little brisk, fall day. We went over to Ruby's Spa for a few shots, which is a pretty cool place that many people may miss out on - there's a really fun pool that is tucked behind the spa, which made a great backdrop for a few of our photos.

Thanks, DelRae!
