They’re back!!

Jeani & Liam returned from 3 weeks in Minnesota. While they both had a great time visiting Grandma & Grandpa Behr, I missed them terribly. So we made today an informal ‘take your kid to work’ day. Liam’s here at the studio with me:

(And he’s an Apple fanboy.)

The ‘interesting’ people still come by…

The nice thing about the new studio is that when I’m stuck behind the computer processing images, people still swing by allowing me to still take shots.

I’m back, baby!

Well, after tomorrow that is. Our summer camp will be finished tomorrow.

“So what’s been going on, Will?”

Let me tell you.

I’ve moved into the new studio. I’ll be spending much time here the next two weeks. Jeani & Liam are in Minnesota til the end of the month. I’ve got a few photo shoots lined up over this period, but I want more (hint, hint). If you’ve wanted to do a shoot, this is a great time to call.

Also, please stop by as I’m right downtown (349 State St., Salem, Oregon). We’ll have some coffee & talk.

(if you’re viewing this on the front page, there are some iphone shots of the new space after the jump)

Wavelength Studio Open House

I was fortunate to be invited to the open house for Wavelength Studio located here in Salem. Wavelength Studio is one of the most complete and professional studios located in all of Oregon, and I would posit the West Coast. Well, you don’t come here to read my words, some photos:

Quick Notes

  • Looks like there is a very real possibility for a high speed rail from Eugene to Portland to Seattle. President Obama has made high-speed trains a priority. Our region got $560 million last year to get started.
  • My portfolio provider, APhotoFolio, becomes the first portfolio web design company to release a custom iPad version built in HTML5. How cool is that?!? (Check it here.>
  • It’s up to you, but if you’d like you can Follow me on Twitter. I will be announcing a portrait session special on Twitter, and awarding one of my followers with a free portrait session at the end of next week.

    Male Senior Photos

    (Please Click Here for info about Senior Photos)

    Male Senior Photos, Salem, Oregon

    While I’m known more for my live music and music promotion, commercial & editorial photography, I do more personal photography as well (e.g. Senior Photos, Family Photos, etc.) One of my strengths is making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. This is especially true of the guys. Now how do you advertise that fact, and not come off as creepy? ;)

    Male Senior Portrait, Salem, Oregon

    Anyways, if you talk with anyone (male or female) who has worked with me, you will here the same response – that I make them comfortable in front of the camera. I take pride in that fact, and believe that goes a long way in creating the type of images you want.

    Senior Photos, Salem, Oregon

    I’ve created a new site that focuses on my more personal portrait work – seniors, families, etc. Check it out.

    Live music at Pete’s Place

    Hopefully you were able to catch the live music at Pete’s Place this past Saturday. Jeremy Crofoot opened, followed by Mark Lemhouse & that other guy (just kidding – great drummer, David Fender), and closed with The Nettles. Brilliant stuff.
