My son's new photography web site

He's only 7, and he doesn't have a professional camera yet, but he's chalked full of talent and even knows how to work with layers in Photoshop! Check out his new web site:

Christmas and Horses

Here's a recent shoot Kristi and I did over the weekend. Six kids under the age of 5! Challenge? Yes. Fun? Definitely. Photos in a horse arena on best photogenic bench ever... Awesome!

Color... almost... gone

Sometimes weather doesn't always cooperate for a photographer who shoots primarily outside. Finding the last color of the season, along with finding weather that will allow for shoots is not always easy. Luckily, my new reflector is helping me when the sun is higher and more intense than I would prefer. Lucky also that Red Sunset Park in Gresham, Oregon has color for most of October. Thank you S for letting me photograph your beautiful family!

Good Friends and New Reflector

What a privilege to photograph good friends. Especially photogenic friends with compelling personalities! Believe it or not, this was my first professional photo shoot with direct sunlight. I've been very lucky to usually get nice overcast skies. I was nervous and a bit concerned that the lack of what I would call good light was going to prove to be a difficult endeavor for me. That morning I purchased a reflector from Camera World. It definitely helped in many situations. It also almost blinded my friends a few times:)

Thanks Tim and Heidi for a wonderful shoot! Can't wait to see the prints!
