Nick & Gabriele –

These are a few of the images we did from a photo session last year of my son and his girlfriend of two years. Nick has never been quite as cooperative for me as he was this day. I'm sure Gabriele was a big part of that. I love these guys so much and what you see in these images truly reflects who they are as individuals and a couple.

We went to some of our favorite locations that we do for our high school seniors. It was a long but enjoyable session that extended into the evening giving us some beautiful sunset images, one of which is shown here.

Giving Back - Relay for Life

We just wanted to let everyone know that the “Relay for Life” is coming up in Camas Washington on May 30th, 2009 . As my wife Karin and I both lost parents to cancer we feel strongly about their cause. As a local business we felt it fitting that that we should donate an entire photo session including all the finished prints to one of the families.

We would encourage you also to contribute to this or find a local cause to support either with your time or monies. In hard economic times these causes need us more than ever.

Teresa's - Portrait Session

Teresa will be graduating soon from WSU and completing her degree in Education. As she did not have traditional high school grad pictures done some years back, she took this graduating opportunity to have photos taken. What a great idea! She was an ideal subject; fun, exciting and willing to give anything a try.

Senior Photos of Casey - Class of 2009

We photographed Casey in Historic Oregon City.

Although Casey kept his outfits to a minimum, as most of our guys do, he did bring along some great props. One was a classic felt hat he purchased while in England and an Epiphone SG guitar. Casey’s girlfriend Katie also came along for moral support, and she also made a great prop too. I really like what we came away with from the entire session. The third image (black & white) was actually an exposure error mistake, but actually became one of my favorite images.

Senior Photos of Katie - Class of 2009

Katie was referred to us by her cousin Alyssa who is also graduating this year. Katie brought a lot of outfits with her, which was great. I told her we would rather have more to choose from than not enough. My wife Karin, who takes the role of a personal stylist for all our seniors, did a great job selecting the right outfit for each location. Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with. Especially when we put her in some bright lighting situations that would have made anyone squint. She handled it like a pro and stuck it out. I hope she feels those efforts were rewarded.

Daniel & Rachel - Wedding 11/29/08

Rachel was married at Pearson Air Museum and looked just like she stepped right out of the 1940’s. She seemed to blend right into the history and aircraft housed there. I have admired airplanes since I was a boy, so having the opportunity to do a wedding here was quite fun. Some years ago we had the privilege to do senior photos for Rachel and her two (twin) brother’s. It was great to see them all again.

Senior Photos of Bryan - Class of 2009

Generally most of my subjects require me to take a few dozen shots for them to loosen up and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Bryan was an exception and warmed up immediately to it. His clothing choices although minimal were very good ones. Everything from a teal shirt to a winter coat worked well to give us a great variety of looks.

Senior Photos of Alanna - Class of 2009

Alanna will graduate next year from Portland’s Cleveland High School. She initially planned to have her senior photos taken over there but chose instead to have them done here in our Urban Vancouver location. Her photo session was on a typical cool, crisp November day here in the Northwest. It’s my favorite time of year to do photography, not just for clients but for my own personal work too. With the sun low on the horizon and a thin layer of fog hanging around we had some beautiful lighting for her portraits.
