Davis Family

I recently had the priviledge of photographing the Davis Family for their annual family portrait.

We created some images in the studio:

Then headed over to Champoeg State Park for some outdoor portraits:

And since their son Lane is into football, created a 'game face' image:

They even brought their nephew:

It was a blast for all & I hope to continue to participate in their tradition!

Convention Update

I spent a great 3 days in classes at the annual PPO Convention, held at the McMenamins Edgefield campus in Troutdale, Oregon.

Met a bunch of new folks, got reacquainted with some photographers I'd met before, did some networking, and learned quite a bit.

We had classes on lighting, marketing, high school seniors, weddings, and more!

I even entered their print competition with this print:

I received a score of 74, which isn't of merit quality, is still considered above average. This image carries much more in emotional impact, but technically has some issues, which I knew about.

I'll do better next time.

New Advertising

Thanks to Iain at Sign-On in Newberg, Oregon, I've got some new signage at a very reasonable price, and just in time for the PPO Convention next week!

Professional Development

I've signed up for the February PPO Convention, to be held nearby. I'm excited to attend, network, and learn about how to create the perfect image.
Stay tuned for more!
