This was actually shot at my place downtown Portland. Makes things easy with not needing to lug equipment around!

Katie is a model based out of Portland, OR. This was a simple and laid back shoot during which her boyfriend showed up, so we shot a handful of couple images as well. Here are two edits.

Boudoir Shoots

Women, no matter what your age, single or with kids - still want to feel beautiful. For themselves, for their boyfriends or husbands, partners or friends. I've started doing day shoots at specific hotels. I schedule in 4-5 women and have my makeup artist and hairstylist, Madeline Roosevelt, along side me the whole day. We take some photos around the hotel and then take photos inside of the hotel room. Sexy and beautiful yet still classy, strong, elegant and tasteful. Something that could end up in a men's or women's magazine. We include wine and chocolate and make it a fun day, almost like a ladies night with fun chit chat. All of this helps you to loosen up and feel like you are around friends, which you are! Here is an example. We are doing this every two weeks and so far, it has been an absolute blast. These were shot a couple of days ago at Hotel Modera in Portland, Oregon.

Alex and Katy @ Suncadia Resort

Alex and Katy were married at the Suncadia Resort in Washington. A two day affair of absolutely gorgeous photo opportunities. I shot this wedding with fellow photographer and friend, Tyler Gould. This couple is so in love, so happy and so alive in each other. It was a beautiful and intimate ceremony of which only their closest friends and family were invited. The whole place was alive with excitement, anticipation and a glow that was unmistakably the support and love that everyone had for them. Here are some shots from the wedding, I'll be updating this post for the next few days -- enjoy!

Hello

2009-11-18T20:55:00.000-08:00

Cheers to the first of many posts to come. I've just returned from LA and a meeting with my makeup artist - we're currently working on a new project that is both creative and original. I am excited to get this started! I will keep you updated as it comes along.

I haven't been shooting as much lately to catch up with end of the year projects. I am ready to start 2010 fresh and with a clean slate! As I do love shooting weddings and portraits, my passion is for projects that include a lot of production: models, makeup artists, wardrobe, set styling. With that said, I am very excited for these coming months. So stay tuned and thanks for reading.

Cheers!
