In this economy, people do what they can to get noticed by potential employers.  For my friend Rachel Hill, she made her job search into a bicycle tour. Rachel bought a bike in Vancouver, BC and heading down the West Coast, riding her trusty used Shwinn from interview to interview.  She’s a talented person with [...]

Elk Cove Landscapes

It’s been a busy summer, but I’m taking some time today to print images for my family’s winery, Elk Cove Vineyards.  They’ve just redone their tasting room, with fresh white walls where there was previously wine storage so it feels very empty!  Perfect for some big canvas prints.  The prints will be up for this [...]

My photo is in the Rolling Stone.

Crazy right? So I flew down to Oakland back in late January to photograph Merrill Garbus aka Tune-Yards for promo shots for her new album, Who-Kill.  And now she’s famous: Here’s a link to a write up about Tune-Yards and the photo in the Rolling Stones in the SF Weekly.

I recently was hired to shoot photos at the Portland Audubon Society Sanctuary.  They have a grant through Together Green, a partnership between National Audubon Society and Toyota that gets people out in their communities volunteering and working hard.  I had a lot of fun with the volunteers – we had a beautiful Oregon spring [...]

BABIES!

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing Jana and her daughter Audrey in their home.  Now I know that fluffy pink isn’t really Audrey’s style, but I just had to include this image on the blog.  Audrey is busy drumming up modeling gigs when she’s not sleeping or eating or playing her drum.  If [...]

I photographed this stunning cocktail for Par for Life at Jimmy Mak’s Jazz Club in Downtown Portland.  PAR is the Prostate Awareness Research Foundation and they are trying to get people talking about Prostate Cancer.  Remember how before you could get everything in pink women really didn’t talk enough about Breast Cancer?  Well we are [...]

WEDDINGS!

So some of you know that I’m in cahoots with Amy Cave and we are photographing weddings under the auspices of Swoon Imagery.  It’s interesting that I’m doing weddings, because I once assumed that I wouldn’t like the job for the not-so-very-good-reason that many other photographers don’t do weddings. However, last summer I shot a [...]

Shoot Your Art

I cry when beautiful art looks crummy on a website.  So I love working with artists so that their work looks stellar on Etsy or their website.  Above is a sampling of works I’ve photographed, from top left clockwise, work from Joe Mansfield, Ryah Radomski, Lisa Arquette, Mary Mac, Karl Ramentol and Ken Tomita. I [...]

CCA Gala

The Children’s Cancer Association is one of my favorite organizations – so when they call me asking for a volunteer photographer, I say yes if I can.  Their annual Hero Gala is an incredible event.  It was held at Nike’s Tiger Woods Center – a beautiful site complete with a sit-down theater, banquet hall, and [...]
