A favorite place.

About a week ago I went out to a park that has become one of my favorite places. It was a pretty foggy day, and it was really nice to just walk around and look and listen. I spent about ten minutes just staring at a blue heron perched out on the water. There's also a tree that I've taken pictures of before, so now it's like a tradition that I have with myself to go back and photograph it. Getting to it was a little difficult since the water level was pretty high. After an entanglement with a thorny vine and climbing over a few boulders, I came away from the experience with quite the scratch (more like a gash) on my lower calf. It was a good day.
Just to show how beautiful this place is, these pictures are unedited. I mean seriously, look at that moss. Stuff like that just doesn't happen in Utah.
Oh, and one more thing. I'm leaving for London in a little over a week, and leaving my Nikon at home. But I'm sure the next 4 months will be full of pictures of my adventures in Europe. Should be fun.

Boise Reception Details

My sister got married a couple of weeks ago, and had a second reception the following week in Boise, Paul's (the groom) hometown. I took a few photos of some of the great details. Pie buffet...yum!

Roommates of 102

It really must be fall. I went out the other day with this apartment of girls to take some pictures of them with the Fall colors before Fall goes away for good...rumor has it that we're supposed to get snow tomorrow. YIKES!

The Madison 5 Six

This afternoon I went out with this wonderful apartment of ladies to do a roommate shoot. I often crash at their place on weekends, especially when there's an away football game (I have no TV at home). I guess this is my way of paying them back for taking up their couch space. Regardless, they are all gorgeous, and this was a really fun shoot!

The biggest recent news in my family is that my sister, Abby, is engaged! As a courtesy to a family member, she let me take a few engagements for her and her fiance, Paul. Despite my sarcasm, I hope they know that they are both very, very photogenic. Thanks guys!

Jeff and Amber: Wedding Reception

WHEW! One of my great friends, Amber, got married today! She asked me to take some detail/candid shots at her reception and here is a taste of what I came up with. Such a wonderful day, a beautiful reception, and one extremely happy newly-wed couple. Certainly a day to remember.

Lake Oswego

My friend Michelle and I wanted to go out and take pictures. After a little discouragement finding that our desired destination was closed, we wandered through LO and settled on this little area.

Manzanita: Little Apple

Today I took a day off and went to the beach with two of my best girlfriends. Amongst all of the silly photos I found a few that I think show how beautiful it is out there.
