Phenix Senior Portraits-04

Spokane Senior Portraits– Phenix

My favorite loca­tion to shoot senior por­traits and engage­ment ses­sions is in our beau­ti­ful South Hill parks. This photo ses­sion with Phenix Pitts from Cen­tral Val­ley was easy enough because Phenix couldn’t stop smil­ing! It’s nice to work with peo­ple who enjoy life.

13126 North Norman Road : Spokane Real Estate Photography

I had the plea­sure of work­ing with Real­tor Gene Smith and home­owner Sharon Sprott last week, shoot­ing the Sprott’s amaz­ing list­ing north of Greenacres. This home on 10 acres is like a pri­vate nature retreat! Miles of trails with views of Mt. Spokane and New­man Lake– this home is for the seri­ous out­door aficionado.

When I’m in the mid­dle of a photo shoot it’s hard to explain how High Dynamic Range pho­tog­ra­phy works. Let’s just use a cou­ple pic­tures to tell the story. The fea­tured pic­ture above is the final HDR shot. Using soft­ware to com­bine sev­eral expo­sures, we can see cer­tain details that are nor­mally lost in shadow …

Recently I had the chance to shoot a home up in Chat­teroy with Seth Maef­sky. This involved a lit­tle hike through some woods for a view shot and a tricky climb back down some loose basalt! Well, I wanted to take the “short­cut”. If you would like to know more about this home call Seth …

Ohme-01

Ohme Gardens– Spokane Commercial Photography

Teresa (my wife) and I took a nice break vis­it­ing Wenatchee over the Memo­r­ial Day week­end. Sat­ur­day was the main day for sight­see­ing and the Ohme Gar­dens was the focal point of the trip. Ohme Gar­dens is an amaz­ing nine-acre retreat into green ground cover, ferns and trees. The Ohme fam­ily built this attrac­tion from …

Vineyard's Fading Light

Whitestone Winery– Spokane Commercial Photography

One of the dif­fi­cult aspects of Com­mer­cial Pho­tog­ra­phy is the drudgery of “self-assigned” photo shoots. Every now and then a pho­tog­ra­pher needs some fresh ideas or new chal­lenges. So we think of a place or sit­u­a­tion out­side of our every­day expe­ri­ence and go there to suf­fer for out art. A pho­to­graphic hair­shirt, if you will. …

Com­mer­cial Pho­tog­ra­phy & Social Media– Just this morn­ing I devel­oped a new ele­va­tor speech titled– “Pic­tures are the Cur­rency of Social Media”. It’s been said before, but the sta­tis­tics are stag­ger­ing! Face­book and Pin­ter­est are photo-heavy sites, with Pin­ter­est being based entirely on pic­tures, of course. Pin­ter­est may soon have a brand value that exceeds …
