I haven't posted much because life's been all over the place. So here's just a mini update with photos from the past couple of months:
Okkervil River @ KEXP 6-5-18
I shot Okkervil River performing at KEXP again, however the timing for the instudio was moved up a few hours, and unfortunately, the information was never communicated to me. When I arrived, the band was already live on the air, and the set was almost complete. Luckily, because I had arrived so early for the time of the originally scheduled shoot, I was able to catch the end of their last song, and then take portraits of them for the station. It is always a pleasure to see Will Sheff and the band.
Lacey's Bachelorette in PDX
My beautiful friend Lacey!
View of the original Jupiter Hotel and Portland from the new Jupiter NEXT hotel.
Lacey, one of my best friends (whom I took some engagement photos for), had her Bachelorette weekend in Portland - we had a blast! Lots of laughter, singing karaoke, and relaxation at the spa. We were close to the Doug Fir Lounge (we stayed at the Jupiter NEXT hotel, which had just opened), and I always enjoy hanging out at the Doug Fir! I had so much fun with Lacey and getting to know her other close friends and the sisters of the groom!
Portraits with John Behr
My buddy John Behr is a phenomenal artist - he's been illustrating for some time now and got a website up recently - which he needed photos for! Sometime in the near future he will have prints for sale, but usually his work is featured in local galleries. He also happens to be one of my favorite people to photograph! I have so many great photos taken on a whim of this gentleman!
Summer visitors
My niece!
4th of July grilling.
A visit to Gasworks Park.
My sister Tonya and my niece Quetitia!
My sister Tonya and my niece Quetitia came to town from Minnesota. I got to see them a few times briefly, but it was really a great to see them. My other sister Shayna celebrated her 28th bday on July 4!
My mom's best from Frances also came to town from Minnesota - I got to have dinner with her, go swimming, and even grab lunch with her at Pike Place Market before she headed back to MN.
So far, Summer has been a bit of blur and it's only going to get busier from here on out! I take a trip to Minnesota again next month, and will have loads to post about then! Time to rest up for what's ahead - I think this lazy Summer photo of Max shows our mutual feelings off accurately.
