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 …
As they say in photography, the subject matter makes a huge difference on how well the photograph turns out and looks. I think that saying applies here. I believe with this beautiful young lady it would be hard to take a bad photograph. 🙂 We wrestled with the idea of going out today to take …
When we were in Utah for Tyler’s mission call one morning I went out into my parents yard for some photographs of signs of spring. [Show as slideshow]
ISO 100, 50mm, f/3.5, 1/1600 sec This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to do some portrait work for two very lovely young ladies, Liz and Anita. They also happen to be sisters! ISO 100, 50mm, f/3.5, 1/1250 sec We went first out to the Shasta Valley Wildlife Refuge which I knew would provide …
ISO 100, 85mm, f/5.6, 1/200sec Jeff, Miriam, Ryan, Anita I was pleased to be asked by Anita to take pictures for her and Miriam and their dates for Morp.

ISO 100, 85mm, f/1.8, 1/500sec Saturday afternoon I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a beautiful young lady, Nicole. The weather was overcast and raining on and off for the start of the shoot. The wind was also blowing briskly. ISO 100, 50mm, f/2.0, 1/2000sec Both of these situations I think added rather than detracted …
Last Wednesday I had the great pleasure to shoot Gabe’s senior photos. He was great to work with and be around. Gabe is a multi-sport varsity athlete with Yreka High with baseball being his main sport. Because of this we spent time over at Hibbard Field taking photographs. From here we headed over to Greenhorn …
So I took my “personal model” out for a photo shoot and some Daddy/Daughter time. This past Sunday worked out well as we were able to go in-between and again after the sessions of General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We had originally had planned to go out to the wildlife refuge to take …
While I was in Utah I had the great opportunity to photograph my sister’s family. They were great to work with, having lots of energy and smiles all around made the job much easier. The key to a good portrait photograph is a large aperture and beautiful evening or morning light. To obtain the nice …
This past weekend was the Yreka High School Prom with the theme of Masquerade Ball. Liz Hensen asked if I would be willing to take some photographs of her and some of her friends before Prom. We agreed that Greenhorn park would be a good location for a shoot. I was excited for this opportunity to …
Tonight was the Pinewood Derby for Pack 58. It was a great event with 12 cub scouts racing against each other and 11 siblings/parents racing in the rust bucket category. I was anxious to try out my new 85mm 1.8g lens so I took it to take the photos. i wish in retrospect I would have brought …
