Nikki

This little cotton ball was a riot to photograph. The only way we could remotely get her to hold still was to tease her with my cat treats! And still it was a challenge! Nikki is a co-worker's dog and when I was asked to photograph her, I was more that happy to oblige. Hope they make you smile as much as I did taking them :)

Racing Season!

2009-04-04T13:05:00.000-07:00

So racing season is about to start in the Willamette Valley and when I'm not taking photos I enjoy watching dirt track races at the local track in Lebanon. I used to work with Mike and occasionally help him and his driver Steve out when they race in the area. So when they show cased the race cars at the Heritage mall here in Albany, he asked me to stop by and shoot some pics. The team is S&M Racing. Mike is the crew chief, Steve is the driver, and I'm the occasional hired help :) Steve drives a Midget.

Baby Duke

2009-03-19T20:44:00.000-07:00

Here are a few shots from my co-worker's maternity session. This was the first time I have ever done maternity. And to make a long story short, the dad's nick name is Duke and the son will be a JR. so we at work all call him Baby Duke.

The other "son".

The father to be.

Beautiful belly.

A mother's love.

Drive 4UR School

2009-03-13T20:16:00.000-07:00

So my work did a fundraiser for West Albany High on Tuesday. For every test drive, Ford donated $20 to the school. It was bitter cold and I was out in it for 8 hours! And to think I volunteered for to help...should have thought what time of year it was first! It was well worth it. We raised nearly $3K for the school! I am all for things that help out our future, the next generation. So I toted my camera a long and took a few shots. Here they are...

Chris & Babsy Wedding!

2009-03-02T10:18:00.000-08:00

Ok so I wasn't their official photographer. But that didn't keep me from catching a few good shots for myself though ;) Their photographer was Jack Arce. Check out his website if you like...http://www.jackarcestudio.com/. He gave me a few tips and tricks of the still escaping art of flash photography. I'll be excited to see how his shots turned out from the wedding. I love when a photographer lets me soak in their knowledge. For some reason, I get to reading my photography books and my eyes sort of glaze over and I end up reading the same paragraph 3 times. I struggle on my own. I've always been one of those people who learn best by watching and then trying myself. So here are a few shots from the wedding.

Babsy & Chris Engagement!

2009-01-14T13:10:00.000-08:00

I had the wonderful enjoyment of taking the Engagement photos for two wonderful friends of mine. Babsy had a lot of fun with the camera and lots of great ideas of where to go. We went to a few locations in Salem such as the Capitol grounds and the Carousel downtown. Not sure if I am shooting their wedding in February, but wish them the very best!

Cats!

2009-01-03T22:38:00.000-08:00

Ok so my latest subjects have been the furthest from human as you can get, though they think themselves as such. I thought everyone would enjoy these as much as I did taking them.

These first two were caught when my cat Destino was waking up.
This one was practice with low light, my new Speedlite flash and my cat Ash.
This one is of my mother's new adopted stray, layinging in the middle of the puzzle that was being worked on Christmas Day.
A stray kitten that has made a home in my mother's backyard. I snuck him some food...it was Christmas after all!

Richards Family

2008-11-19T20:30:00.001-08:00

I had the enjoyment of shooting the Richards family in the beautiful fall colors. the kids had fun playing in the leaves and climbing on rocks. They even played a little hide and seek! They were a lot of fun.

2008-10-31T14:08:00.000-07:00

Xanadu

2008-08-11T20:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing my co-worker's niece. We were shooting pictures for her senior year book. She was up to trying out different locations and amused me with one in a phone booth. She's graduating next spring and I wish her a wonderful senior year!

Becca Scott

2008-08-04T21:01:00.000-07:00

My friend Becca let me take some pictures of her. We had a lot of fun going around the Western Oregon University campus and being goofy and silly with the camera. Here are a few that I've manipulated in photoshop.

Becca is currently serving a mission for the LDS Church in Columbus, Ohio. I wish her the best!

Technical Difficulties

2008-08-02T08:26:00.000-07:00

So my comp got a major virus and I'm in the middle of reformatting...no pics lost though, I store them all on an external hard drive. I'll post soon! Thanks for your patience. In the meantime check out my other site. http://amwrootbeer84.deviantart.com/ Thanks!

New Photography Blog!

2008-07-31T09:53:00.000-07:00

Ok so I think I found a blog site that I can figure out...maybe. So I'll be posting pictures of photoshoots that I do on here. Hoping to get a little exposure of more than 'word of mouth'. I would like to get into shooting pictures more often. I like the more laid back settings of engagement and senior picture shoots, but I have done a wedding. I enjoy nature photography and people photography. So I will start posting here shortly! Leave lots of love please!
