My goal is always to bring out the best in each actor or business professional. Since people usually see a headshot or profile picture before even meeting you, it’s important to show a little of your personality with that first impression. I like to convey a sense of strength and confidence with each image. And throw in a bit of what makes you, you.
Let’s get you the best headshot you’ve ever had! I’ve heard time and again how one of my headshots has gotten people in front of agents just based on one look!

A different perspective from the air. Drone photography from around my travels.
Over the years I've found that guys just want to look cool in their headshots. They want to go into a casting or audition and feel proud to hand over their headshot. During each shoot I take the time to bring out a bit of the guys personality. A bit of what makes them unique. And a way to help them stand out in an ever growing market. Each client has a look of what I call cool confidence.

One of the ways I keep things fresh is with new and old techniques. This is a combination of both. I wanted the look of a tintype portrait while using the new digital photo and printing methods. These are also shot with mirrorless cameras. Either the Sony A7s or the Fujifilm XT1. And then a little adjustment in Lightroom. I'm then having these printed by Bay Photo on 12x12 sheets of aluminum. An ongoing project that puts focus on the person with no retouching and trying to communicate a bit of each individuals attitude.
Black and white images from my travels and adventures.
When I started photography I started with film. I still shoot it from time to time. This is a collection of some of my favorites.
Craftsman is defined as a person who is skilled in a particular craft. I wanted to showcase people from all walks of life that dedicate their life to being the best at what they do. People who excel in their chosen profession. Shot on the Leica Monochrom.
Skilled tradespeople and craftsmen play an integral role in our society. From fixing broken plumbing to making custom furniture, they represent the ever-important skill of hard work. Not only do they provide indispensable services to businesses and families, but they also serve as mentors, passing down their knowledge and experience to the next generations of craftsmen. Without skilled tradespeople, our country would be lacking some of that creative genius which continues to shape our way of life.
When looking for locations to shoot an engagement session, I like finding out what places have a special meaning to the couple. Maybe the place they met, the place they had their first date or just a place they like to frequent. The waterfront was a perfect location for Erik and Leia because they work near by and would spend time at the Portland Waterfront most days. We lucked out with the cherry blossoms being in bloom and a rare sunny day. :)
Labor is a project to highlight the different people around us with different trades that benefit everyone. Double exposures.
When I started taking photos, I started with nature and landscape photography. Mainly because it was relaxing and secondly because I was super nervous working with people. To this day, I still enjoy getting outdoors and photographing nature.
At pretty much all weddings I like getting a series of black and white images. I think the main reason is that they seem to have a timeless quality. They stand the test of time. You can look back on them in one, ten or twenty years and they still hold up with the emotion of the day. Plus they look great on the wall! Amazing day photographing Nico and Taylor.
Family photoshoots are an important way to capture memories that can be shared and enjoyed for years to come. They provide tangible evidence of the bond shared between family members, and make it possible to preserve cherished moments in time. It's a great way for families to spend quality time together, strengthening their relationship while creating lasting keepsakes.
