Portland Baby Photography

March 26, 2010

Like a doctor who smokes, or a mechanic who has the worst kept car – photographers are notorious for not getting portraits of their own family, and I’m very guilty of that! So – I made a decision recently to get my youngest son, George, into the studio for some cool new portraits!

Coming soon – Daddy and Me Day!

March 22, 2010

Father’s Day is coming soon, and I had a great client in recently who wanted some awesome portraits of him and his boys. Here’s Darin, Finn and Beck!! Look great don’t they?

This got me thinking – there must be tons of Daddys out there who only have quick snapshots of them with their loved ones, and surely every Father deserves to have a portrait to cherish? So – Daddy and Me day was born. This will be a single day Limited Edition event at the studio. Watch this blog for more details soon!!

Here are the final 11 images that Sandy Puc and her team will be using to promote her 2010 tour! This was a great project to work on as it not only involved shooting and post-production, but also working with a large team of amazing professionals. I can’t wait to see these images on the final products. For those of you in Portland, she hits town on February 22nd..book your tickets now!

The post-production on these images used a mix of Pindora’s Box (From Mama Shan and myself!) and Design House From the great Andy Armstrong.

Pin-Up – how much Photoshop?

November 30, 2009

I’m often asked – how much Photoshop can you / do you do to my pin-up images? When clients see the first round of proofs to choose their selections for final retouching, they sometimes think…”THAT doesn’t look like the images on his website”.

So – here is a before and after. The image on the left is what we leave the studio with. It’s the perfect base point to get started. The one on the right has had my full Photoshop Lovin’. Each pin-up is unique and special…book yours today!

James Vs Reality

October 27, 2009

My make-up artist, the fabulous Hollie Olsen (available for any make-up services including bridal: Celebrity Spa Services ) is also an actress. She’s staring in a terrific new short due next year, about a guy convinced he’s a super hero and can save the World.

Trailer here:

James Vs Reality

She asked if I could come to the set (an old abandoned hospital) and take a shot of the cast in character….I’d love to!! After we did the main group shot, I had each of them pose as singles again in character.

Here is the group, Hollie and ‘Rufus’ – the mad janitor! More to come, and this isn’t the final processing yet – just testing. The final DVD cover will probably be more fun!
