Last summer I had the opportunity to shoot Jared and Jina's wedding in Jina's parents backyard in Nampa, Idaho. I really had so much fun hanging out with Jared and Jina, their families, and also hanging out with a great group of friends from college. Enjoy!

Kristin and Tyler Newton — April 19, 2009

2009-05-23T18:17:00.006-06:00

So i received a call from Kristin two weeks before her wedding with the question "Why the heck have i not received an RSVP from you???" ...i think i could hear her foot tapping and her eye brow raised, and amidst my lame attempts to tell her that i to choose which weddings i could go to this summer, she convinced me (it wasnt that hard really) to buy a ticket to California. Im really glad I did =) It was awesome!! I can say that now i read wedding invites quite closely, i sadly realized, yes i know im sure i could've fit in at least a polo into my carry-on, that "comfortable" and "casual" don't necessarily mean "you can wear a t-shirt"... good times =)

Good Morning Seattle

Garage Voice and Noah Gunderson

2009-03-20T12:22:00.005-06:00

March 14th at the Flying M in Nampa. Ben and I were having fun taking pictures, for some reason he was having too much fun calling me while I was shooting... it was like we were shooting back at school...ahh, the memories. As for the music, the music was awesome, and for hearing Noah for the first time, I was blown away! It was really good to see Tommy, Bruce and Patric again, I'm glad they came to town, it had been too long! I'm looking forward to the next time they come through town. =)

Riggins, ID — November 15, 2008

2008-12-24T15:29:00.006-07:00

A family from church invited Heidi and I up to their cabin in Riggins, Id for the weekend. It was awesome! I hope we get to do it again sometime soon... great talks about God, great games of Tetris, and just an over all amazing weekend! =)

Alex and Jenni Adams – August 2, 2008

2008-10-26T22:04:00.006-06:00

I flew down to Napa, Ca for Alex and Jenni's wedding. There were a few mishaps with my luggage on the way, which taught me to carry on next time, but its just cloths right? I always carry on my camera so there were no problems on that end, i did rent the full-frame Canon 5d for this wedding and instantly fell in love! for those of you who haven't used a full frame sensor, you must rent this camera, its amazing! Ok, enough about cameras, Alex and Jenni were married in Napa, Ca on her uncles front lawn, it was amazing (!) with the sunset and the vineyards! Wow! Simply amazing! I would like to say thank you to them for such a wonderful weekend and such a beautiful wedding =)

Caleb and Tiffany Gillam — June 29, 2008

2008-09-30T19:59:00.005-06:00

This is a long over due post for Caleb and Tiffany Gillam's wedding in Arcadia, Ca. I dont know what else to say... it was an amazing weekend with two amazing families as well as many amazing friends that came together to celebrate the joining of these two amazing people =) enjoy!

My Bag vs. WWII

2008-08-01T17:07:00.003-06:00

So this weekend i jumped on a plane to Oakland to shoot a wedding, i missed my first flight so i got onto the next flight 2 hours later. well when i finally arrived in Oakland the baggage handler (wearing gloves) hands me my bag, or what was left of it. Im sure you could measure my jubilation when i asked what happened and she said "oh it was crushed" (under something that i was a little to shocked to remember now). I cant believe this, im definitely calling the airlines for some reimbursement because this big is not going to make it back to Boise in this condition without at least one roll of duct tape...at least. Im sorry to say, but Alaska Airlines, im not really a happy customer, not in the least bit...

Jars of Clay Concert — Walla Walla, March 2, 2007

2008-07-11T23:37:00.005-06:00

So I never thought that I would be allowed to take pictures at this concert, but in talking to the right people I was allowed to get up in as a photographer for this concert in the auditorium of Walla Walla Community College last March. the concert also featured Burlap to Cashmere, whom I would not mind seeing again, and NeedtoBreathe, who on this occasion, in a gym, didnt sound the greatest, but upon hearing them with Jars of Clay on another occasion, would definitely recommend going to see them in concert, great southern Christian rock. I have put off posting these pictures for awhile, but now I think its time to post them. Enjoy!*

*(please dont steal these pictures and post them else where, if I see or hear of them else where, I will take them down.)

Erik and Katie: The Wedding

2008-06-28T11:07:00.006-06:00

I was really excited to shoot my first wedding of the summer on June 22 in Caldwell, Id. The day could not have been better, the sun was shining, there were some wispy clouds, and a slight breeze helped make the day pretty much perfect for a wedding =)

Katie Gatton

2008-05-18T15:40:00.004-06:00

I was recently asked by a friend of mine from work if I would be interested in shooting her senior pictures. Im usually hesitant to agree to do portraits since i haven't done too many, but I figured it would be great practice. And as it turned out, it was one of the most fun shoots I've done. Katie and I are both really indecisive so some of these pictures are taken on the grounds of Pacific Press (since we were already there) and there are some taken in downtown Nampa. Enjoy =)

Car Show

2008-05-03T19:55:00.004-06:00

Last weekend I went to Walla Walla for Alumi Weekend. It was an amazing weekend, I got to see friends I hadn't seen in months and I felt totally at home again. On sunday, there was a car show put on by past Alumni and members of the community, and seeing it as a chance to take some pictures and see some sweet cars, I couldn't help but go.

Erik and Katie

2008-05-03T19:46:00.004-06:00

Here are some engagement photos that I took of Erik and Katie back on March 26. The day we shot these was like the coldest stormiest day of the week. I really felt bad asking them to take off their coats (esp. Katie) but our shoot only really lasted about 15 minutes, that was mostly due to the weather, but the pictures turned out great! I cant wait until the wedding =)

My New Lady

2008-04-08T22:36:00.003-06:00

Most people have been wondering what I have been doing to pass the time here in Idaho, and so I just thought I would introduce you to my new lady friend, shes a hottie...

Idaho, Pt. 1

2008-03-11T19:35:00.000-06:00

Yes, i found a job working for Pacific Press, an Adventist publishing company in Nampa, Id. so at little about the job: I work four 10 hour days formatting the text in the books that are printed at the press. its a good job, and im loving Nampa, its a great town with Boise about 20-30 minutes away, i cant complain! well here are some pictures of the outside of the press. more pictures to come of the my many adventures (that are also to come) in Idaho...

Business Card Re-design

2008-01-26T23:31:00.000-07:00

Yes, it was time for a change and I wanted (needed) something more professional looking to hand out to potential clients. So here is my final comp (front and back) that I sent off to be printed.

Nate and Emily

2007-12-27T17:46:00.001-07:00

In June two friend of mine got married in Idaho, I was really excited when they asked me to bring my camera along and shoot throughout the weekend. I must say I had so much fun the entire weekend from being with friends, power outages, almost camping out in bear country, good food, two great families, and one beautiful wedding at a barn in Sandpoint.

Self Portraits

2007-12-25T19:20:00.000-07:00

I received a new ball head for Christmas and thought I'd have some fun and take some self-portraits. Here are a few from my shoot that turned out looking really nice after editing. enjoy.

Sean and Bethany

2007-12-17T03:24:00.000-07:00

Sunday, December 16, 2007. A perfect day in December to have a wedding out side, the sun was out, warm and bright on this beautiful day on the campus of La Sierra University. My friend Bethany was getting married and what a day to do it! The ceremony went great, until the sprinklers went on! Yes, the sprinklers went on in the middle of the ceremony! I couldn't believe it! It took a few minutes to get the sprinklers off, and kind ofas if nothing had happened, the ceremony picked up where it had left off (just a little more wet than before). What a great memory! Congratulations Sean and Bethany =)

What a summer...

2007-12-12T00:31:00.002-07:00

I worked as the Media Director/Camp Photographer at Pine Springs Ranch Christian Youth Camp (www.pinespringsranch.org) in Southern California. This was my second summer doing photos and it was by far the hardest...after taking pictures at school i thought i would be ready for the summer camp demand...yeah i was wrong. Good luck to him or her who gets the job in the summer of '08...

How inspiring the person sitting next to you is...

2007-12-11T18:04:00.000-07:00

Well this is my first post on here...I'm sitting in Stell's Coffee & Tea with Carli, drinking some coffee and figuring out how things work around Blogger. I will post pictures on my next post, so this looks more like a Photoblog...or as Carli says a "phlog".
