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 …

My son Christian plays in the West Valley Junior High 7th grade band. It is a large, very talented band. They had a concert on June 12th over at the high school. It was a combined show with the 8th grade band in which my son Nathan plays. I haven’t finished editing the photos from …
A couple of Sundays ago we noticed a “dog” we didn’t recognize out in the field by our house. I thought it might be a coyote so we got the binoculars and took a look. Sure enough it was a coyote hunting field mice. So I ran downstairs and got my camera to get some …
It had been over 3 years since all of our family was together. Our previous family portrait was taken in 2012! So we were anxious for an update. Well, I wasn’t very anxious to have my picture taken since I’m not the svelt man I was 20 years ago…..oh well such is the aging process …
Saturday morning I took the opportunity to photograph some of the humming birds that come to our feeders in the yard. There is a short window of time in the mornings where the sun shines through the trees and illuminates the hummingbird feeders. Of course as usual when I look out at the feeders there …
