Central Oregon. The last weeks of before, the first ten days after, and the high desert that holds them both.

Couples

Engagements, anniversaries, and the ones who have had forty years of practice.


Weddings

Boots under the dress, the bouquet set down on a chair, the certificate signed at a small table.


Military Weddings

Dress blues and mission stucco. Shot at the Old Mission, Santa Barbara.


Maternity

The last weeks of before — outside, mostly, while the light is still long.


Newborn

The first ten days, photographed at home in your own light, at whatever hour the baby agrees to.


Families

Everybody in one frame, and nobody standing still.


Portraits

Seniors, and anyone who needs one good photograph of themselves.


About

I photograph the people of Central Oregon — the ones who are about to arrive, the ones who just did, and the families that grow up around them. Most of my work happens outdoors, in the hour before the light goes, or indoors at your kitchen window with a baby who has opinions about the schedule.

I would rather wait for the thing that actually happens than arrange one that doesn't. That is most of what I know how to do, and it is why the pictures look like you and not like a catalogue.

Enquiries

Sessions are booked a few weeks out, and newborn sittings are held loosely around a due date rather than a fixed day. Tell me roughly when, and roughly who, and we will find it.
