Last week Taunya and I flew out to Utah to take our son Tyler and his fiancee Steffany’s engagement photographs. We had a fun time walking around BYU taking their photos. They met as workers cleaning the Benson building in the evenings. A rock they sat on, on their first date. Here are the rest …
My son Daniel got a telescope for Christmas, so when there was going to be a lunar eclipse Taunya woke him up at 5:30 am to look at it. Unfortunately, with slight haze from light clouds and a very dim moon, it was difficult to see much detail with his telescope. I then thought I …
I had forgotten to edit and post these photographs last fall. I came across them again when I was going through my 2016 photographs trying to decide on the best of that year. On August 5th, 2016 Nathan, Christian, Daniel and I had the opportunity to go to a Colorado Rockies game. My boss at …
Lisa had her hair done by the ladies at Saol Salon in Yakima, WA. Their facebook page is www.facebook.com/saolsalon/ Adjusting the veil placement. The other awesome optician at Apple Valley Eye Center 🙂 Makeup time! Watching the hair being done and the make up applied makes me really appreciative that I am a guy!!!! The …
Over the last decade I have used the excuse of having a midlife crisis for making a few “unwise”, or “frivolous” purchases. The number of these purchases vary depending on if you ask me or if you ask my wife, Taunya…… I’m sure I will continue to use this excuse for the next decade as …
I had the great privilege to photograph the wedding of two friends, Lisa and Vic, a couple Saturdays ago, on October 7th, 2017. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. I wanted to post the formal photos while I still am working on the 750 photographs I took that day. 🙂 Here are a few …
I knew the two long driveways to the house we are renting would be spectacular once fall colors hit. When I got home from church, and saw that the colors were just about perfect, I didn’t want to risk waiting another week. Ella tagged along as my model 🙂 Love having a daughter that likes …
Since I am going to be doing some wedding photographs at the Yakima Arboretum this coming Saturday, I wanted to check out the location. My daughter Ella was a good sport for tagging along to be my model. The Arboretum consists of 46 acres of gardens and trees with lots of grassy areas. We followed …
As many of you know, my wife, Taunya is a huge Oregon Ducks football fan. Also, as many of you know, I’m not a huge football watching fan in general lol. I like football and enjoy watching, but it isn’t a necessity. But, it is for her and the kids so they wanted to go …
Many of you experienced the Solar Eclipse on August 21st, 2017. It was an amazing experience to behold. I have created a 16 x 20 collage on metal for sale to commemorate the event. I think this print looks the best on metal, but it can also be done as a regular paper print for …
Early Monday morning on August 21st, I headed out planning to drive to Shaniko, OR to watch the solar eclipse. I was planning on leaving at about 2:30 am, but when I set my alarm I set it for pm instead of am…..Fortunately, for me, Taunya woke up at 3:45 am and woke me up. …
Earlier this year I took an evening and walked around our yard and took some photographs of the new life happening. I love this shot of the new leaves being back-lit by the setting sun down the long drive way. The difficult thing was picking the right focal length for the shot. To wide and …
