Finally summer has arrived!  It seemed like it took forever for the sun to shine and stay around.  Now that it is summer I have been very busy having fun.  I have been trying to make a point to jump on the max and head downtown to enjoy all the festivities.  The streets have been full of people.  I love this because I really enjoy  people watching.  When know one knows I am shooting, is when I get the best photos.  I have also been camping a few times.  Only a short drive  and you can be away from the city and into the beauty of the Oregon wilderness. But most of all I have been enjoying friends in my neighborhood.  I love to sit on the porch and watch the people in the neighborhood move about.  I recently left my 9 to 5 and had a great party to celebrate.  We ate and drank and even played some live music on the sidewalk.  My friends Jimmy and Graham came over and tagged a window for me to mark the occasion.  Even though it is summer, I still have to work and boy have I been busy. Here are some pictures from my most recent shoots! Enjoy!

The happily married couple, Eric and Paul Starr. This wedding was based in the center of the only natural labyrinth in Portland. It was quit the honor to be apart of their very special day.

A toast from Eric’s father!

I shot a really fun family portrait this summer also.  Brian and Rae Reeves are both writers and such a fun couple. They are expecting their first child in just one month. They wanted to get photos done before their world really changes.

Brian ” this baby is the center of our world.”
