Julie Farley with the make up studio has a new boutique open in Spokane. I have been working with Julie for a couple years now and she is the best make up artist in the area! I recommend her to all of my brides and models. Not only that but she is a great person as well. This is a great new location and as usual Julie has done a superb job decorating and continuing her wonderful brand! She is having a Grand Opening on March 15th, so if your in the area please stop. Here is the address,

While I was in town I wanted to take some images of my cousin and his girlfriend (whom is preganant). We decided to head to Laguna Beach (unfortunatly it was mid day) to take some beach shots. We spent about 15 minutes cruising the beach and ended up with some great images. Let me know what you think.

This couple rocks (even though we started two hours late!) California. Mike and Alicia are a fun and spontaneous couple from Hunington Beach, CA and they are one of my wedding couples for neat year. These two had so much fun together, I can see why they want to finally get hitched. We crusied around San Juan Capistrano and found some great locations to shoot at. Usually I have to direct my clients quite a bit, but these two just turned it on and created some great shots. Click on their names above to see the slideshow. Thanks again Mike and Alicia and hope to see you soon!

Last Wednesday was a day that really hit home. I received a call last week from Adrienne who wanted a lifestyle session done with her and her parents. She then went on to tell me that her mom has been diagnosed with cancer again (as she starts to cry). She said that this is her second time and that she wanted pictures with her before she losses her hair again and wondered if I had any interest in shooting this? I of course replied “it would be my honor to photograph this for you”!
We planned to go to their favorite breakfast location to reminisce over old photos of the family so they could share the memories together. After that we had planned to go for a walk in the fall colors at a local park, coffee in hand and to symbolize them as a family one last time. Adrienne (the daughter) was so ecstatic that I wanted to do this, that she must have thanked me one hundred times.
I received a phone call Monday morning from Adrienne crying. She said that we have a change of plans, my mother was readmitted into the hospital and we wouldn’t be able to go outside. She still wanted to do the shoot but it was going to have to be in the hospital. I said of course, no problem.
On my way this morning I had a lot to think about. Remembering my grandmother and other family members who died of cancer and what our family went through. I was trying to figure out how I was going to shoot this. How am I going to tell this story? How do I make a hospital room beautiful? Do they really want this knowing that these will possibly be her last photos? Will she even be awake? If not, then what do I do? After about 15 minutes of questioning myself I realized, that I need to photograph this session as if it was my mother in that bed!
The session turned out beautifully and I wanted to share it with everyone. If you have any comments please make sure to leave them.

I’ve been real busy traveling and shooting this summer. I was just looking at next years schedule and can’t believe how busy I already am. Last Sunday I had the previlage to photograph Ryan and Meagan’s lifestyle session. I will be shooting their wedding next June and I can’t wait. This couple is so much fun, I can only imagine what the wedding will produce. Enjoy the pics.

Well I just got back from Bend, OR 
where I photographed another fantastic engagement session. I don’t know if any of you have been there before but its a GREAT town! Not only that but my friends/clients Kelly & Tabitha live there. 
I had a great time with them, they took me to Smith Rocks, Five Pines Resort (where they are getting married) and downtown Bend.
I can see why people want to live there, lots of outdoor activities, great community and an even better weather system. Ok sorry for geeking out there. Anyways, here are some of the pics from the session, hope you enjoy.
