Katie and Ben

Yet another wonderful couple. Katie and Ben and I got together on the east side esplanade for their engagement pictures. They claim to be camera shy, but they fooled me! Thanks for all the laughs guys! Katie and Ben are getting married in November at the beautiful Governor Hotel.

Desi and Colby

Meet Desi and Colby! We met up at Fort Vancouver on Saturday for their engagement pictures. It was SO hot and bright, but they did great and even took on some difficult terrain to get shots by the river. Thanks guys!

Jaime and Chris

Jaime and Chris did their engagement pictures at the End of The Oregon Trail in Oregon City last Saturday. Even with the record heat, we had a great time with the shoot!




































































Jaime and Chris are exchanging vows in a few short weeks at the Abernathy Center. Congratulations guys, see you soon!

Yee-haw!

Each year, I pack my cowboy hat and my camera gear and head home to Montana to photograph a cattle drive. Russell Country Ridgeriders, Inc. was established in 2003 by three working ranch families with the goal of providing guests with an opportunity to experience an authentic Montana ranching experience in the heart of “God’s Country" (located in Central Montana near Winifred). We had an amazing time under Montana's big sky, whether it was herding cattle, branding, pleasure riding, playing cards, enjoying music, swimming in the Judith river, or stealing a quick nap between rides. The campfire and dutch oven meals were fantastic as always, and the guests were a great crew. To everyone who put this on, thank you for another unforgettable week.

Not bad, for a guy with a fear of heights!

Darling Dylan

Dylan brought his parents Kristy and Jeff along for a fun photo shoot in the park. He was just too handsome and so much fun!













































































Thank you Kristy, Jeff, and Dylan! It was an honor to photograph your beautiful family!

Kris and Darrell

Kris and Darrell joined me at Cathedral Park last weekend for their engagement pictures. The weather was beautiful and Kris and Darrell were all smiles!




































































Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to September!

My first bridal portrait session!

What is a bridal portrait session?? Well, it's a Texas tradition, and lucky for me, Nicole is fromTexas! Nicole got her hair and make-up done, and put on her dress (which is fabulous!) and we did a fun, artsy, no-rush photo shoot. I was in heaven because I had as much time as I wanted with the bride. Nicole was absolutely stunning as always and Christie from Blush Bridal came along to help out, and the three of us had so much fun running around the Rose Garden. Thanks ladies, see you in a few weeks.
