Option Model’s amazing Malene Sondergaard Jensen, who has recently been seen in Papercut Magazine and numerous online scenes, put several looks together with Alicia Elfving for an epic test shoot. This particular shoot was also the final collaborative effort between Alicia and Ben, who worked together for years as Vorpal Images. Throughout the next few months, I’ll be revisiting and updating a number of shoots from the Vorpal days. Stay tuned…
Avi and Melissa Haviv’s son Dylan is amazingly photogenic. See him shift from average toddler, to emo guitarist rock star, stand-up comedian, quarterback, to simply… HUNGRY!
You can also see the set of photos on Flickr, if you’d prefer.
Amanda and Cody had a sweet ceremony at the Mcmenamin’s Edgefield Hotel Garden on July 23rd. I was honored to be their wedding photographer- for such a straightforward and personal ceremony, this also happened to be one of the most fun receptions I’ve been a part of! From choreographed dance routines to tear-jerking toasts, their wedding was simply beautiful. Take a look at this gallery.

While taking a look atop Pelican Butte- which is near Klamath Falls, OR- I took a few photos of the Klingerman family. It was a short expedition, but the vista was pretty compelling nonetheless! Of course, there was no shortage of hamming it up for the camera from young Asher… That little guy was made for the camera, and he’ll jump at any opportunity to prove it! Good times. Oregon is beautiful.
Toma Amendolara and Mishalla Cannon, caught in the right place at the wrong time. Like nostalgia-seeking spirits from another era, they’re drawn time and again to this very bridge, exactly at five am, on July third, year after year.
