Old Photo Restorations Video

I’ve been meaning to make something like this for years for all the photo restorations I do as part of my daily business, and today I’ve finally decided to just sit down and do it. I wanted it to be short-n-sweet while cramming as much info as I could into...

Portrait Sessions Video!

Very excited! I just made my first portrait video for my company from scratch without hiring a service to put it together for me. Music is licensed, I like the vibe and flow, and I kept everything short and sweet. Very different from anything I’ve ever done...

The Bigger Picture – Panoramic Landscapes

Photo Restoration of a Late 1800’s Print

Last week I was writing a piece about a very difficult late 1800’s photo restoration project with some sample images, and decided that I should also post it here. Photo restorations are a small but still significant part of what I do, and it’s a great way...

For this post I’ve done a little something different from the norm. I took artistic liberties that I normally don’t do. A few nights ago I was on the Oregon Coast enjoying a ridiculously beautiful sunset at Ecola State Park and got into a position...

A Rocky Mountain Wedding in Aspen!

A Rocky Mountain Wedding in Aspen!

I’ve been dying to get these photos delivered to the client so I could share them here with the world. Last month I shot one of the most hilarious and definitely most memorable of weddings in my professional career. Not only was I reunited with Bill Metek, my...

The Lake, the Sailboat and the Mountain

Sometimes we get a keeper shot by accident while working on another job. In this case I was doing some modeling photography with a lovely young lady with this as a backdrop, and I decided to knock out a  couple of shots of this incredibly serene view of Mount Rainier...
