The Oregon Coast // Kyle + Shannon

admin — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 22:26:43 +0000

Meet my friends Kyle and Shannon. They live in Calgary and ended up getting married in Portland. A few days before their wedding they went out to the Oregon coast to soak up the elements, which is never a bad idea! I met up with them and took some photos. The trip was a win win for me. Not only did I spend time with these two awesome people but I ended up sleeping in my car for a few days and squeezing a handful of surfing sessions in. The water was cold, awesome and absent of others.

Stephen, Cheryl and Ernie // Hood River, Oregon

These are my good friends Stephen, Cheryl and Ernie. They recently drove through Hood River. So naturally, a little photo-taking took place.

Cascade Shenanigans

Spent the last week with the American Alpine Institute on Mt. Baker. The trip was easily amongst my favorites. Within a 12 hour window, we summited Baker, I was attacked by a squirrel and my left toenail got completely destroyed (for the second time this year). The week was well rounded and quite awesome. Here are a few of my favorite frames from the trip. A mix of iPhone and not-so-iPhone photos. Enjoy!

Cheers to good company, AAI and the Cascades!

Clark + Hillary // Austin, TX

admin — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:08:50 +0000

Meet Clark and Hillary. These two are among my favorites and are good friends of mine from Oklahoma City. They married on a HOT day in Austin this summer and happen to be ridiculously creative individuals. Clark is a graphic designer and Hillary is a photographer. Together they’re quite the creatively awesome force!

I had a studio when I lived in Oklahoma City and we’d have a few interns each year. Hillary was one of them, and was awesome. I couldn’t have been more stoked to shoot their wedding in Austin. Here are a few of my favorite frames from the day. Enjoy!

Couldn’t resist – my favorite shot from their engagement session. Check out the rest here.

Kristin + Cody in Yosemite

admin — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:37:04 +0000

Meet my new friends Kristin and Cody! I met up with them in Yosemite to document their elopement. They wanted something simple and beautiful, yet in a place that represented who they are. They kicked the day off with some climbing and by the time the sun went down they were married :) Not only was this day a perfect blend of everything I love to shoot, but it took place in one of my favorite places on earth! I’m grateful for my time in Yosemite with these two. They’re keepers.

Kristin + Cody in Oklahoma City

Before Kristin and Cody eloped in Yosemite they had an awesome party in Oklahoma City! Here are a few of my favorite portraits from the day.

New Life

My friends Jordan and Laura are expecting :) I shot their wedding a few years ago and am completely honored to document life as it will be unfolding for them in the chapters to come.

The frames below are taken with the Holga. Gotta love that little plastic box.

Congrats Jordan and Laura :)

Josh + Laura

These two are longtime friends of mine. I’d take multiple bullets for them. They came to visit Hood River, Oregon and we took these photos.

And then we went hiking. Here are a few shots from hiking Dog Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge, Washington side.

Carl Was Here – A New Site!

admin — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 03:50:02 +0000

A few years ago Carl Was Here began. The only thing I knew is that I didn’t want some of my favorite images to die on a hard drive. I had no idea where it would lead or what kind of legs it would grow. I only knew that I should start something and let it ferment.

I’m beyond excited for Carl Was Here as it moves directly towards the lifestyle I’ve grown to love, long for and respect: life outside and all the adventure it calls for. My dreams don’t stop at outdoor and adventure photography but scoot a bit beyond in search of ways to help preserve this planet and its most beautiful places.

My new site is rich with some of my favorite places, moments in time and people. Follow along as the adventures will expand.

My new site also has an online store! You’ll find fine art prints and some of my favorite Instagram shots available for purchase. Please share this with everyone you know. And their dog.

I will still be shooting a select number of weddings and portrait sessions each year, as I am and will always be deeply moved by people’s love together as well as their stories. I’m stoked, as I’ve already booked a number of shoots that will be photographed deep in the mountains. :)

I’m thankful for you who have followed along, however long you have. If our paths haven’t already, I hope they will soon.

Cheers // Enjoy life.
