Earlier this month, we kicked off Summer with a family camping trip to Paulina Lake in Central Oregon. Lured by tales of a dig-your-own hot-spring, we spent two days hiking, relaxing, and soaking up the sun. We were successful in finding the hot-spring–an underground spring that bubbles up through the gravels at the shore of …

There’s snow on the ground in Portland, and a lot more in the mountains! This shot is just our way of celebrating an early winter. We hope you’re enjoying it, wherever you are! Mt. St Helens, Washington
Three photographer friends and I headed out for a little photo exercise in the wilds of suburban Portland recently. I have passed by this spot a few times while out for a run and always wanted to come back with a few willing conspirators, lights, and a camera. Thanks to Aaron, Ashley, and Bryan I …
I would love to take these for a spin someday . . . preferably in powder.
This post takes us back to the spring snows on Mt. Hood for Matt & Logan’s wedding at Timberline’s Silcox Hut. There were so many amazing details and stunning photos of the couple spread out over multiple blog posts that we did not get around to properly wrapping it all up. The photos below give …
This post may seem a little off-topic, but it is our hope that you can get a glimpse of what we love to do in addition to our wedding and portrait work. We have had a number of adventures over the past few months that we are excited to share! Our travel and adventure blog …

Downtown Ely, Nevada. Tempting price on those Margaritas! Unfortunately, I cannot report on their quality as we still had a few hours of driving after taking this shot.
Our camp this morning. [click photo to enlarge] Can you find the tent? Hint: look for yellow. Clicking on the photo to make it bigger will make this a lot easier! (It is worth seeing large even if you aren’t into playing this little game.)
After a chilly-yet-beautiful pre-wedding shoot with Josh & Stephanie in Bend, we hit the road for Eastern Oregon and the quest for solitude. There is something completely relaxing about driving into vast, open space, and that was exactly what we were looking for. Our first night found us headed towards the Steens Mountains. The Steens …
