I freaking love Corvallis Oregon! For many years I treated that beautiful city like the allies treated Germany in World War II. Any runs I had to make into Corvallis were treated like covert operations with the main goal being to get in and get out before being spotted by enemy troops. But as my own family business required me to do more portrait sessions in Corvallis, my eyes began to open to the beauty and diversity that Corvallis has to offer. Everywhere you go, the town offers up amazing locations to photograph clients.

Turner Senior Pictures

We were running around Cascade High School in Turner again last week. We're seeing a lot of sports seniors from there this year. Nate is a runner, both long distance and track. He also spends a lot of time hunting with his family.

What to Wear for Portraits (or) Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?

Death to the Babydoll Dress
I am convinced that babydoll dresses are called "babydoll" because they make 90% of the population look pregnant. Babydoll dresses have a seam that creates a high waist, and the fabric for the skirt is doubled up to create a fuller look. Which bulks up your waist and hips. Most of us don't need that. If you have a favorite babydoll dress, one that you simply CAN'T give up, experiment with adding a belt.

Photography in Salem Oregon

Growing up I was a military brat that got to see my fair share of this great country. After graduation I enlisted myself and found my boots on the ground of some spectacular cities (as well as some not-so-spectacular ones). The pattern that emerges from traveling this country extensively is that you really never want to live in a capital city. Don’t believe me? Check out the crime rates of Washington D.C., or Sacramento California. But Salem....

2016's KRKT Beautiful Baby Winner

It's said.... KRKT locks the child in a tower until their hair is long enough for a passerby climb up it and rescue the child. That is, in fact, how they roll over there. That's right "Cricket Country" IF that's your real name. I'm on to you and your "Contest"!

O.K. y'all can hold off on that Amber Alert, they don't really lock the winner in a tower. But I have it on good authority that they do encourage the children to eat a gingerbread house owned by an ill-tempered old woman.

ACTUALLY....
