My photography on display at Venti’s (again)
Posted on November 11th, 2009 by Will.
Got a call from Leslie. There was some mix-up with the artist to be on display at Venti’s in the lounge for the month of November. She wanted to know if I’d put up some photos for the rest of the month. Should have them up today. Head by for the food & drink (especially happy hour), check out my photos, and let me know what you think.

How absolutely cool and scrumptious is this?!?

Many of you will recognize this shot from an earlier post, but it’s totally worth a post of its own.
From the Itsy Bitsy Bakeshop’s website:
The Itsy Bitsy Bakeshop is a domestic bakery baking delicious gourmet cupcakes in Salem, Oregon. We use only fresh, natural ingredients in our cupcakes- no mixes here! Our cupcakes taste homemade because they are homemade. Our kitchen is inspected and licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
Amy Barr is a fabulous person and maker of cupcakes. Yummy, beautiful cupcakes! Right here in Salem. You can be guaranteed I will be using any excuse to order many, many cupcakes.
Senior Portraits, Salem, Oregon

Like the Wedding photography questions, I’ve been receiving many inquiries if I shoot senior portraits or senior photos. Quick answer, yes. Yes, I do.
You can find more info about packages here. Some examples:
You should realize this before you call.

Wedding Photographer, Salem, Oregon
Posted on September 2nd, 2009 by Will.

I’m often asked if I shoot weddings.
I don’t advertise I do weddings. (this post excepted)
The answer is more complicated than it should be. But the quick and easy answer is yes, I do shoot weddings.
To briefly elaborate, I think it’s fairly important that you like and respect your photographer to get the results you desire. As I feel strongly about this, I don’t just accept any job, especially weddings, unless we meet first and decide if we are a ‘fit’ for one another.
This is a (severely) abridged example of a wedding I shot recently in Forest Grove, Oregon:
Just a few more examples:

You want your portrait? How bout the most photographed alley in Oregon
Posted on August 27th, 2009 by Will.
I know you’ve seen it. You can’t help it. Your walking downtown Salem, Oregon, and you pass by the alleyway. You know the one I’m talking about – the block ringed by State St., Liberty St., Court St. & Commercial St. And there is practically a line of subjects and their photographers for a senior or student portrait session. Invariably they also take the shot in the exact same spot in the alley. Now there are some really talented photographers around here, but how about a little creativity? You might as well get your photo taken in front of the same backdrop at Sears, JC Penney, or one of the other photo chains in the malls.

Similar to the shot below, Shooting in the dark, part II, this shot was taken in a very low light situation in a bar. I’ll be working with Bobby soon in much better lighting.

Meet Jack, I did. Had a couple of beers together, and while talking, I learned he’s an honest to god, rocket scientist (retired). How cool is that?!?

The other half of the Union
Posted on June 25th, 2009 by Will.
In all honesty, The Union has expanded to include more participants as it’s becoming a collective. But can’t let reality affect my post titles. I had referenced this post and photo of Jared Blume as one half of The Union. Anyway, Jaysen Peters (also a talented musician and involved in many bands),

Valarie, too.
