Floofie for Into the Wild
Well I got the results from my MRI back on Wednesday and I would be lying if I were to say I wasn’t feeling pretty disheartened. Honestly while my worst case scenario was that I would need surgery, my biggest fear was that there would be nothing that can be done, and while th...

My preferred way to shoot has and always will be photographing with the goal of creating one fantastic image. I haven’t hit a point in my career where that is something that I can really do, and with the way things are on the Internet right now for most models a full set 15-4...

Some flowers last forever. Some last for about 3.5 hours.
I felt a serious sense of urgency when the camellia started to bloom. Nicole was out of town, the weather was hot, the clouds were gone, and I just really wanted to make a shoot happen before springs first flowers were g...
I've watched this field transform so much this year. Season to season the grasses grow, and fall. Hemlock blooms, dies, and is replaced. Its a magical thing. We create trampled paths, small beds among the tall reeds. Around us the grasses shake as animals unseen rumm...

Ya'll August is here, and I must admit I have been struggling with the amount of work I have bit off for myself. Moving to Portland has turned out to be truly incredible. I am basically able to shoot, and create more than I have ever imagined, and this summer has been an explosion as ...

My god friends, can you believe we have been on this Patreon journey for this long, and we are finally getting galleries! That is right no more dropbox links (except for presets and photoshop actions). I don't have it in me to go back in time and update the hundreds of posts I have do...

Two of my favorite Canadians were visiting Portland, and the evening Dane and I were supposed to shoot I checked the weather to see that a rare and massive storm was coming through I mentioned it to Dane thinking maybe we would shoot the next day, and instead both Dane and Sienna were completely ...

I've been a sort of under the radar staff photographer for Suicide Girls for a couple of years now. I was invited sort of last minute to participate in a Portland shoot-fest, and my schedule just didn't allow for it. These events are pretty incredible, but the work load you can create...

On sunny days we seek the shade. Small places where the dappled light falls behind us, and we can create where the sun falls softly. I knew when we first moved here the creek would provide a place I would love to shoot, and as the temperatures warm up I am finding that to be the case....

I am always looking for new ways to see the forest. Hiking to new places or the same place to see what has changed. Some days the forest has remains the same, but the light has shifted. Sometimes the forest remains the same, but I have shifted. Often everything has changed...

I have seen so many places transform in my travels, but my most recent trip to Los Angeles was one I won't soon forget. Normally I try my best to escape the city and head up the coast for my shoots, but Nicole and I went on a small scouting trip to see how Malibu looked after last years fir...

I feel like Miss Margie and I have been trying to shoot for years now. We never managed to cross paths when I was in Philadelphia, and it would have been way easier for us to shoot, but this spring she found herself in Portland where I have been holed up for what feels like a life time. &nb...

I feel like I haven't set the camera down for months. There is an event and then an event and then an event. Our door is always open to guests, and there is rarely a lack of them. This is not a complaint. My favorite part of the work is creating the image in camera, connec...

Its been an incredible summer so far for photo shoots, gardening, and jam making. I've been spending so much time outside that time has sort of lost meaning. The days feel nearly endless all the way up her in the PNW, which is great because when winter comes, and I know it will darkne...

I wouldn't be where I am if it where not for Lillias. Its amazing now 1 year ago we were in Portland looking at this house because while venting about Seattle she mentioned how much cheaper it was down here in Oregon. Just a few winter months ago we shot in this green house, that has ...

Every trip into the forest yields some sort of surprise. A few weeks ago, maybe months at this point my perception of the passing of time is poor at best, Zoey came over to gather nettles and oyster mushrooms, and take some photos as well. I'm always drawn to the way the moss gathers ...

The moss and cherry blossoms came just in time for my shoot with Lucy Art Model. Well to be fair the moss is always here, but the cherry blossoms they were here and gone within just a couple of days. Its been amazing how many little things are so fleeting here. From shoot to sho...

I live for these moments of calm. The creek banks swell with winter rain, and snow from just a few inches deep to nearly 10 feet deep. I can hear the racing water from my balcony at night, I walk down to the bank, and even as it roars there is such beautiful sound, and peace. It...
