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 …

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 …
Here are the photographs of the 8th grade concert that followed the 7th grade concert on the 12th of June. My son Nathan plays the trumpet and is on the left side of the band. Nathan’s favorite song to play was Bear Necessities. They had a few solo players separated on the side of …
