Marisa Convento's Venetian Dreams, Venice 2015
In December 2015, I traveled to Venice, Italy, for a few shoots and a lot of R&R. One glorious evening I spent at Venetian Dreams, a workshop where artist Marisa Convento makes jewelry from Murano glass pieces. Such craft, such beauty.
Favorite Portraits from 2015
2015 was a fun year for my portrait work, with me getting to work with a lot of amazing humans, and so I thought I'd pick some favorite shots to share again here. Can't wait to see what 2016 has in store!
Harrison-Judkins Wedding
It was my privilege to shoot the wedding of Amanda Harrison Judkins and Stephen Judkins in Portland, Oregon, this August. They are two beautiful, kind souls who are great together.
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice
In December 2015, I traveled to Venice, Italy, for a few shoots and a lot of R&R. There was so much to see that there wasn't much I meant to twice; the Peggy Guggenheim Collection on the Grand Canal, however, was such a place. (If I had time, I'd have had a third visit!) Maria Rita Cerilli, their Officer for Press and Social Media, met with us and took us up on their roof, with its fabulous views. Such a terrific little museum, with world-class artists like Picasso and Pollock, in a terrific little setting.
Raffaele Dessì and the Atelier Pietro Longhi, Venice
Tailor Raffaele Dessì showed us around the shop, overflowing with fantastic dresses, costumes, and other garments based on clothing in famous paintings…
Palazzetto Pisani, Venice
In December 2015, I traveled to Venice, Italy, for a few shoots and a lot of R&R. One quick shoot was at the dazzling Palazzetto Pisani, which is a hotel on the Grand Canal, across from the Guggenheim and the Accademia. What a place! I felt like I'd stepped right into the Italy of E.M. Forster or Henry James.
Timberline Lodge at Sunset
Recently I did a wonderful lake project for Oregon's Mount Hood Territory. At the end of one of the days, we stopped for some photos above Timberline Lodge. There are two of these posts, before and at the sunset.
Timberline Lodge Before Sunset

Fun Signs at Ripplebrook Ranger Station
Recently I did a wonderful lake project for Oregon's Mount Hood Territory. At one point (getting lost looking for Lake Harriet), we stopped at the Ripplebrook forest ranger station. They were nice and helpful, which was much appreciated as there is no cell phone service in that part of the Cascades. A great place to stop and stretch your legs when you're in the area!
They also had some wonderful signs that I grabbed these snapshots of.
OMHT Lake Project: Timothy Lake
In November 2015 I worked with Oregon's Mount Hood Territory (OMHT) to explore seven (and a half) lakes south of Mount Hood in 48 hours. I loved them all, but the real surprise for me was Timothy Lake, a large, gorgeous body of water southeast of Government Camp. It's a jewel, and I am amazed I'd not visited previously. But I will certainly return.
