I’m a little behind with my retouching for my lovely and amazing models from my workshops last year!! Sorry girls…I’m catching up, slowly. Here are 3 from my Sydney, Australia workshop, one each of Shereen, Kylie and Nicole.
The Queen – this one has me thinking about a whole new project!!!
Stay tuned…..
Kat and Seth….ah, couples like this come along just once in a while!! Willing to be silly and have some fun!!
This was shot while on assignment for Powers Studios, and reproduced with kind permission.
We’re deep into wedding season now! I’ve just finished up 3 weddings in 3 days!!!
Quite a few of my weddings this year are as a lead associate for Powers Studios, and many of the images from those weddings are over on their blog.
Yesterday though, I was up at the lovely Bridal Veil Lakes photographing the gorgeous Christy and her new husband Chris!
What a fabulous day!!
Here are a few of my favorites – and congratulations to Christy and Chris, and all the best for a fantastic married future together!
Meet Amanda – she came to Portland Pin-Ups wanting a calendar for her husband for Father’s Day – sure!!!
We had a ton of fun shooting this, and I hear he loved the calendar!!
Enjoy the video and images:

Hot on the heels of Daddy and Me day – I decided to give Dad’s in Portland a very special Father’s day this year, and am now offering Father’s Favorites!
I’ve been thinking of a way to get Portland’s Dad’s the best present, rather than the usual boring sweater and colone combo that they usually get! Of course, I want my photographer to be the main player in the event…so I’ve come up with Father’s Favorites. While my Daddy and Me day is still going be scheduled as planned, I thought that what Dad’s really wanted was something to bring a smile to his face every time he looked at it…

Phew. Well, it’s been a few days since I returned home from the WPPI conference in Las Vegas, and I’m now suitably recovered enough to give a quick rundown!!
This was my first WPPI, and what a way to start! The purpose of my trip was for networking – to meet sponsors for my workshops and speaking tours. I’m very happy to announce that it was a huge success, and would like to thank all who will be helping in the future! No name dropping yet, but some of the industry’s largest vendors will be partnering with me.
Aside from handshaking and back slapping, I also took some time to help my friend, Andy Armstrong, on his Design House stand for a while. Andy’s software is amazing, and I use it everyday, which is why I had no problem at all helping him through the show.
I’m a moderator at the NoBS Photo Success forum, and the co-creator/owner of the forum, James Hodgins, is a great friend of mine and we spent much of the time there meeting sponsors and generally having way too much fun. I also need to thank James (or Hodgy as he is known) for all his help – without him, and NoBS, I’d have no sponsors, and my business wouldn’t be where it is today. If you are a photographer – check them out!
Finally – I entered 3 prints in the 16×20 competition – my first time – and received an Accolade of Excellence for this shot of Mandy Apple, titled…’Next!?’.
Here are a few shots from Vegas – none of which were taken by me!! Most are from Hodgy, the group shot from Dan Morency – also from NoBS.
Can’t wait for next year!
