Oregon Coast 2009

A friend and fellow photographer Bry Cox from Utah, came to Oregon on assignment and I tagged along on a trip down Hwy 101. The following are a sample of images created with a specific lens called a "lensbaby". The effect as you can see creates images with very selective focus, which can be a hit or miss but these are winners in my opinion. It was a great time just to get out and create, I need to do this more often, our coastline is amazing. Cheers and Enjoy!










Also check out Bry Cox's blog to see more images from our trip. Especially the Lighthouse we "painted" with light in the dark.

Michael Callaway { Senior }

Happy Friday, I'm thrilled to showcase the senior portraits of Michael Callaway. Michael's session was photographed @ MIT Studio and @ "The Spot". You may be asking what is @ "The Spot"? For months I drove by this area and kept thinking... that would be a great backdrop for portraits, but it never materialized. I guess it was just waiting for the right session, then came along Michael and "The Spot" was perfect. Thanks Michael for incorporating your style into the session, and allowing me to showcase your portraits and "The Spot" Cheers!

Joe Noh { Senior }

Drew Van Roekel { Senior }

Can you believe January is almost over...WOW. If your a follower of the blog you have been up to date with our Senior Showcases and today we bring you another. Everyone welcome Drew Van Roekel! Drew's images were created @ MIT Studio, @ Dawson Creek and @ the "MIT secret field".



We have enjoyed working with the Van Roekel family over the years, we photographed Nathan in 2007 and are looking forward to Logan's session when he graduates in 2012.

Allyson / James { Senior }

2 for 1 Senior Showcase. Today is the showcase of Allyson Harer and James Burnham from Hilhi. We had the chance to photograph at James grandparents property and then at MIT. The property was amazing with a barn, trucks, fields and a pond. Believe me we could have photographed there for days and not run out of fresh places. Enjoy the showcase, cheers!

Kristian Mogster { Senior }

The best way to start out the week is... yes, a senior showcase. Today our showcase is from Liberty H.S., Kristian Mogster. His session was photographed @ MIT Studio and @ Dawson Creek. Kristian Cheers and Enjoy!







The images with the jersey's and football came out really well. It can be hard to feature an article of clothing without it being a distraction, I think this will be a future jersey signature shot, thanks Kristian for setting the stage.

Luke Minnick { Senior }

Today we are both thrilled and sad to bring you the blog post of "The Last of the Minnick's." We have so enjoyed photographing all 3 Minnick boys over the years.



Luke has an easy-going and confident style about him that really comes through in his images. This was a full throttle session with images created @ MIT Studio, @ Dawson Creek, @ Orenco Station and @ the Minnick home. I especially like the variety with Luke's motorcycle, ski's and the old truck.

Thank you Tammy for allowing MIT Studio to photograph your boys, Matt, Jake and Luke. Cheers and Enjoy!

Glencoe ASB / Class Officers

Happy Thursday! Here are some fun images of the Glencoe ASB / Class Officers taken earlier this year. Each group Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors and ASB come up with a theme / idea and the images are then displayed at Glencoe in the main entry. Here are the showcase images for this year, Cheers and Enjoy!

Kevin Marble { Senior }

The senior showcase is back and today is all about Kevin Marble. First a disclaimer, I have no musical talent, so I better stick with Photography. However, Kevin is blessed with a wide range of musical skills. As you can see, he plays various instruments and we showcased them for his senior portraits. Images were done @ MIT Studio and @ Dawson Creek. Thanks Kevin, Cheers and Enjoy!

Little Miss Ellie

I trust everyone had a Happy New Year and are back in the swing after the snow. To start the 2009 year off right we bring you a bundle of joy, Little Miss Ellie.







Ok, admit it, just looking at her smile made you smile. We are looking forward as Ellie grows to capture all the small changes. Ellie is part of our Legacy program, for more details on the Legacy program give Sheryl a call. This is Ellie's 2nd session in 6 months and already we see how fast these little ones change.

Cheers and Happy 2009!
