Bring Life To Your Memories, Capture The Moments.
This was such a fun photo shoot with new expecting parents and their puppies. They wanted to have the dogs involved in the announcement that they will be sending to their family and friends to welcome the new addition in style.

Assignment Number Six: “We need a shot for our menu that says CHOCOLATE… and we need it NOW!
A local restaurant has decided to run a special on chocolate on their menu for the next month. They need something that says, no – SCREAMS Chocolate!!! People or still life or cute little furry animals or fish… … well… probably not fish… but you get the idea.
This was my chocolate photo…I have to say this was my favorite week so far!!
Assignment:
Weather has played a significant role in demographic shifts – whether from colder climes to warmer, or in the impact of bad weather on the economy. A major online magazine has given you this assignment. A single banner image (600x400px) for a story on the impact of dramatic weather on your area. We do not know if the story is slanted toward or against any specific theories, nor do we know if the shot will be accompanied by any video.
This was my weather shot:
Editorial assignment of a local entrepreneur that has just been nominated by a national conference as the number one leader in his/her industry… a new and upcoming industry. The magazine needs an image that shows the person in either an environment that shows their working area, or how his/her business/industry effects (environment, people, energy, people or technology).
So for this assignment I chose my sister Laurie. She is a hairstylist and a darn good one!!!
This assignment was Still Life. We had to create a photograph for a fictitious publication on interesting discoveries in technology, design, “Green” processes and agriculture. This is what I came up with:
This weeks assignment was pretty difficult for me…
Assignment #2:
Photograph a Stranger.
Criteria:
Candace and I went downtown Portland today to capture my “stranger” portrait. I didn’t think it would be as difficult as it was. I had no problem going up to folks and asking them if I could take their portrait for my photography project, but I didn’t expect to get turned down from so many people! I guess I had a vision of the photo I wanted to take in my head. I was planning to take a photo of a homeless man or woman and find out a little about their story, why they are where they are and get to know them a little. To my surprise many of the homeless folks I talked to wanted nothing to do with a camera. So, I came upon Carlos standing at a bus stop downtown. I asked him if I could take his portrait for my project and he said “sure”. This is what I got….
Mr. Carlos
I am doing a photo each week this year for a photo project from Lighting Essential for Photographers Blog. I am really excited to be able to have a new challenge each week. This will help me step outside the box of what I normally do and really push my own personal boundaries with my photography.
Week 1 assignment was to write our mission statement and then the photo needed to be of something or someone in your home or current residence. Here’s what I came up with. This photo was shot with ISO 100 at f/5.6 with a shutter speed of 1/60 of second.
The Gaze
This weekend I had a family photoshoot at the Salem State Capital park. It’s a beautiful place to take portraits! Here are a few from this weekends shoot.
Looking for some photo shoot ideas…One idea is to go downtown to your local city, mine is Portland, OR. Take some photos of the Portland night lights, or streets after dark. I want to get a night photo of that Portland sign at the Schnitz Concert Hall. Portland is the city of roses, and bridges, and I would love to get downtown as the sun is coming up and photograph the bridges with Mt. Hood in the background. As soon as the Rose garden starts to bloom I will head up to Washington Park and take some photos of the roses. There are so many beautiful places in the Portland surrounding areas, I want to capture them all!!
Here is my list:
Local Parks: Washington Park, Waterfront Park, Japanese Gardens, Rose Gardens
Local Venues: PGE Park, Pittock Mansion, Jamison Square Fountain, Lovejoy Fountain, Ira Keller Fountain, Hoyt Arboretum
Local Landmarks: Columbia River, Willamette River, Mt. Hood, Oregon Coast
