Hoyt Arboretum Family Photographs | Mini Sessions

Back in Mid-September I put on another day of mini sessions in the Hoyt Arboretum, again it was so much fun to see so many people, to meet their new family members in some cases, and to spend some time up in the woods behind my camera in Portland with great people.

The first day was gorgeous and sunny, the second day was incredibly dreary and rainy, we got soaked, but part of the beauty of mini sessions is that they’re only twenty minutes and like I always say “You can survive anything but hot lava twenty minutes.” So far this has proved to be true.

Thank you to everyone who came out! If you’re looking for mini sessions, I just opened up a few slots this Saturday October 5th at Government Cove an insanely beautiful location in the Columbia River Gorge.

Columbia River Gorge Family Photos | Mini Sessions

The location in the Columbia River Gorge i this post is one of the only locations that I’ve received many many emails about. People emailing me just to ask me where this location is and how to get there. it is an absolutely gorgeous place (get it “gorge”ous), the light is incredible, the terrain is incredible, it’s overall one of my very favorite places to do photoshoots in the Pacific Northwest.

So why am I telling you this? Well, I just opened up a few mini session slots at this location this Saturday October 5th. The weather looks perfect, and it should be a beautiful all day. Click here if you’d like to reserve one of my timeslots, hope to see you there.

Boise Photographer | Neckar Coffee

I am surprised and also grateful that the homies at Neckar Coffee. haven’t started charging me rent yet, because I do spend A LOT of time in their cafe banging on the keys of my computer, answering phone calls, and conducting phone meetings while sitting in the hall way behind their space. I also have a U-Lock stashed in the alley behind their business, so I don’t have to carry a lock with me when I ride my bike downtown, I was at my peak when I came up with that idea, it’s been a downhill slide ever since.

Neckar just got in some rad new Miir cups designed by Ryan Flowers.

This was a quick and dirty shoot, it was less than twenty minutes, but I had fun with the owner Grant and the window light coming in Neckar, as well as their beautiful mural in the alleyway.

If you know me, you know I love coffee, and I was trained as a barista by Stumptown back in 2005, and my perfect coffee day is a black cup of natural process coffee in the morning and an italiano, which is equal parts espresso, equal parts water (and I add a little cream), in the afternoon. I’m sitting in Neckar this very moment actually, wrapping up my week. Neckar is one of the best roasters in Boise and they have one of the most beautiful spaces in downtown as well. If you haven’t been there, hit it up asap. Here’s the photos, sorry all that ramblinig took so long.

Grant and Zoe, thanks for opening up such a rad shop in Boise, and for all the kindness you guys show me.
