The December Lowdown

It’s that time of year when our thoughts turn to our personal lives. Sharing the holidays with our families, taking much deserved time off from work. Our focus changes and this is a good thing.

This has increasingly become a busy time for my business and I wanted to share a few updates with you. I have no less than 12 events to post from the past few months and some fun items that I hope you enjoy along the way. In case you get tired of looking at my photographs!

The next few weeks will be spent working on a very large project. Updating my web site! Yes, I know it’s been over 5 years since the images have been changed out and the content updated. It’s amazing how much technology has changed the way we do things. My website will reflect those changes and I hope you enjoy the new look. Stay tuned for the big unveiling in the next two weeks! During the migration, you may see various issues with my site—be patient.

The biggest challenge is selecting the images I want to reflect my business. Not only a representation of my style of shooting, but the type of work I want to be doing. I’m looking forward to sharing this with you. Be sure to subscribe to my blog with your RSS reader and you’ll be notified as soon as I post anything new.

I just finished my first Production Summit for a selected number of Portland photographers. What is this you ask? It was a round table discussion between 12 established photographers about the challenges we face with digital. We talked about the software and tools we use in our daily production workflow. From the moment we capture an image to delivering the final product to our clients. In the end, it was a powerful and productive meeting. I plan to post more details about the specifics after Christmas and perhaps take this on the road. A special thanks to everyone who attended!

And finally, this thought, since a blog post is worthless without an image, right? Have you ever noticed that everyone looks like someone else you know? Meaghan Smith is a wonderful singer songwriter. This image of her looks a lot like Sarah. I’ve had more than one person tell me I look like James Kirk, aka William Shatner. Who do you look like, or who looks like you?

According to Ted, I look like a bartender at this Jazz club he frequents in downtown Portland. He showed her my picture, now I’m anxious to see hers…

The resemblance here is uncanny!

I am excited to see the changes coming to your website! You have so many amazing images to show off!

I think a lot of the engagement photos you took of Patrick look like Matt Damon…and I have gotten about half a dozen people saying that I look like Demi Moore in the engagement and wedding pics – but I am chalking all that up to a great photographer! Thanks!
