A couple of PDX Portland Engagement sessions

    I had an amazing time shooting a couple of engagement sessions today. I have some fun shots of the Portland Fire Station but have to keep them hidden from request of the fire department. I will ask to see if I can show a few because they are so cute.

   The after dark portraits are always a blast when I get to start playing with the light. Getting the white balance dialed with gels, video lights and strobes always take a minute but when done right the fill light looks natural.

Bonneville Dam Tour.

  After school field trip to the Bonneville Dam tour. I have been to the Oregon visitor center many times but never made it to the Washington visitor center. It has been a number of years since I drove the dam across from Washington to Oregon. So with the local connection it was a real treat to drive the kids over the dam today.

Nothing Like Encouraging The Kids to Play Hookie and GO to the Beach

Skipping out of town (Hood River) on Friday to beat the heat and the weekend crowds. I felt like Mr. McGee and His Dog Dee going on a camping spree. Now that we have our little dog PIP. We hitched up the TDI with kids in tow to capture some monsters at Cannon Beach. Ecola State Park surfing spot offered the best wind protected beach. Among the large drift wood trees and creek is where I found these "MONSTERS at THE BEACH".
