33 YEARS | BANJO STREET MUSICIAN

I was driving home after shooting a short wedding when I saw him. The banjo, the hat, the overalls… I knew I had to pull over and take his picture, if he would let me. Fortunately he was all about it. Erik has been playing the banjo for 33 years, and it shows. His effortless picking was only outshone by his amazing handlebar mustache. He told me that he loves playing in front of The Kiva, a great little grocery in Eugene, because of the appreciation their customers show him. I guess people who like good wine, and good food, also like good music.

This shot was a special request by Erik. Happy to oblige.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC

The last image image in that set is from a shoot I did for local group, Caleb & Sol, for their first CD. Below is the most recent shoot we did, and there’s plans for another coming soon. Repeat business is always good, but it is never better than when the job is for someone insanely easy to shoot, and a lot of fun to be around.

MACKENZIE | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Seriously, I have no words for this session – definitely top 3 ever. I’ll do my best to say something productive.

I work very hard to try and match the mood of the pictures I take/make to the personality and demeanor of the people I work with. In this case, we both share the same saturnine personality, with plenty of good humor to balance it out. Yes, she smiles. Yes I take pictures of people smiling. You’ll just have to trust me on that one, because you aren’t going to see much of it here… but we all had a blast. A happy blast.

This senior session speaks for itself, I think, and the longer I type, the more I will screw up what MacKenzie has to say. {Jay shuts up}
