Jodi: Business Headshots

Jodi needed a nice headshot photo for her company’s real estate Web site. I matched her professional business suit to four different color backgrounds for added visual interest and a little pop.

Kyle cared a great deal about his senior pictures and wanted a modern style that would showcase his personality. During our wardrobe consultation prior to the shoot, I could tell already that we’d have a great time.

Claudia: Senior Session

Claudia: Senior Session

All I can say about her portrait session is, “Incredible!” Claudia’s camera presence, sense of style, and warm personality came together beautifully. We worked together well and she had a lot of fun modeling. Upon finishing in the early evening she said, “That was exactly what I was looking for.” I love hearing that!

Glassow Family: Portrait Session

Glassow Family: Portrait Session

The Glassows had been wanting family portraits for a long time and I was thrilled to provide them with memorable photos. Marc, Anne, Kelsey, Brittany, and their dog Bentley joined me for a beautiful afternoon on the outskirts of Eugene. Everyone was fabulous to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer family to photograph.

Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime may be the best shopping invention ever created! Prior to the summer of 2008, I only purchased items on Amazon.com occasionally. Then I discovered Prime. Now, if it’s possible to buy an item from Amazon, I do.

Soomaya & Friends: Portrait Session

Soomaya & Friends: Portrait Session

Being from various countries throughout the Middle East, Soomaya and her friends formed their friendships here in Eugene at the University of Oregon. They wanted to invest in special group photos so they could look back fondly even after they’ve gone their separate ways. What a great idea!

Justin: Senior Session

Justin had a perfect June afternoon for his Marist High School senior pictures. We worked at several locations in downtown Eugene that had a cool, casual look to match his personality. Maybe next time we’ll get to photograph him cutting across the lake on his wakeboard.

Officer Kilcullen Memorial Service

Last Friday, I had the honor of teaming with other local photographers to help photograph the memorial proceedings for fallen Eugene police officer Chris Kilcullen. While documentary photography differs from my usual work, I was happy to assist the family in any way possible.
