Jenna & Mike

I had fun with Jenna & Mike on this maternity shoot last night. She looks great and was easy to work with. I'm looking forward to meeting their baby girl in September. We did the session at their home. Their backyard is huge with several fruit trees and the inside of the house is really nice. I want them to come over and decorate my house!

In the Kitchen

Grandma came to town Monday. She never arrives empty handed. This visit is no exception. The chef costumes are awesome. The kids are having a great time in the kitchen.

Independence Weekend

After celebrating the fourth with grilled burgers and fireworks down at the neighbor's house, we were off to the coast for a family reunion. We stayed at Rockaway Beach over the weekend and had a great time. Jenn's aunt and uncle threw quite the shindig of a party in Giribaldi. Didn't get any pictures at the reunion, because for once, I was actually participating instead of hiding behind the camera! I did get some nice shots at the beach though. Can't wait to go back before summer's end.

Hungry?

The opportunity to do a commercial shoot came my way recently. I was hired to photograph food for Rose's Restaurant & Bakery http://www.eatatroses.com/. Since I eat there on a regular basis, I was already familiar with their yummy food and awesome desserts. They were great to work with. I really enjoyed the job so I hope to get more work like this!

Wedding

I shot a wedding recently near Salem with friend and fellow photographer , Angela Smith http://www.asmithphotography.com/ . I had a great time! Big thanks to Angela for letting me tag along.

Family Time

I've been working a lot lately, but took time out to relax at a local park with my family. Of course, since I had my photo gear handy, I couldn't pass-up the opportunity to shoot a family portrait. Ethan wasn't too excited about it.
