Starting up in Portland

It seems like an appropriate time to start my photography blog. I've been meaning to do so for a while now but, since we moved from Chicago to Portland, my focus has been pretty mixed: web design, graphic design, and photography... But once again, I'm starting to focus more on portraiture, as well as wedding photojournalism. I'm passionate about this form of art, and I'm excited to share my adventures with you.

It's all a learning process, this thing called art. Some days my clients / subjects teach me much more than a book is ever able to. Other days, all I want to do is be inspired by fellow photographers. Most of the time, though, I find that art is all about finding true beauty. And my search for this is what inspires me.

Join me as I strive to capture beautiful moments that take place - in nature, in small children, in families, in engaged couples, in newlyweds. And don't worry, if I'm ever lacking new shots for any reason, just know I'll always have two cute models nearby: my beautiful wife and my little 2-foot toddler.

It's not all about the waterfalls. I promise.
