About

I am not taking paid gigs anymore. All my work is for my own artistic projects or volunteer work for organized charities. I don't take any old project that comes down the pike. I pick my projects and I'm enthusiastic about them. I like working on fun little projects with nice people. I like the variety of work that comes my way and working on creative projects and I especially enjoy photographing charity events. I'm very good at overcoming obstacles on a photoshoot. I've been faced with high winds, rain, power outages, poor lighting, extreme heat and cold, and so much more. The show must go on!

I hired Christopher to take pictures of my Boxer dog and I. He definitely deserves 5 stars. He took so many great shots! He's super friendly and really easy to talk to. Has great ideas for pictures. Even though my Boxer was sort of crazy during the photo shoots, he still captured so many great shots! Right away the next day he sent me samples of the pictures, and they're amazing! I'm in love with ever single picture! He sent me the work right away when he was finished and he took about 4 days of editing and making them perfect. I could tell he took a lot of time making them great. Which was perfect timing because I was dying to see them all. He is someone I would definitely refer someone too. Thank you so much!!

I hired Christopher to document a surprise party for my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. He arrived early to check lighting and further discuss our vision, lending ideas where we needed help. His photos told "the story" of the day in a beautiful way, catching my family in authentic candid shots as well as in posed group photos. He went out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable, he learned everyone's name (19 of us) and really became a member of the party while remaining transparent, working his magic. I received initial images from him (on my phone) before the party even ended! Throughout the week following the party, he kept me posted of where he was at and would intermittently send shots that he thought I would enjoy. In one week, I had all images I was promised! I would only have changed one thing, which was planning for him to stay longer!

Im on the Board of Betties360, a nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire confidence, well-being and community in girls through action sports, outdoor adventure, and life skill education. The organization is based in Portland, Oregon and every year we have a fundraiser/auction to raise funds for our programs. A board member knew Christopher and he generously offered to donate his time and services to photograph and capture our event. We couldnt have asked for a better photographer than Christopher. He was extremely professional from beginning to end. He arrived early to get familiar with the space and set up, as well as discuss with us further our goals in terms of photographing our guests and the spirit of the evening. The event was held in a challenging locationboth in terms of lighting and the space itself. However, Christopher found workarounds for any possible challenge he was faced with. We really appreciated his barely there presencemaking our guests for the evening very comfortable. We have held the event in the same space for several years and Christopher found creative and innovative ways to visually represent the event. We were extremely impressed with the results and his professionalism. He turned around the photos quickly and offered suggestions for how we might use some of the photos. He was very generous and offered his services bro bono, yet we would not hesitate to hire him next yearor the year after that.

What was amazing about working with Christopher is that he was able to not just put me at ease in front of the camera, but also provide ideas and suggestions for different shots that could be useful for me, based on the specifics of my situation. I scheduled a photo shoot primarily because I'm growing a business, and knew it was important to have a few good professional photos to use in online profiles, my blog, and general marketing. Christopher immediately thought beyond the standard head shots, and was able to capture photos that show who I am and the characteristics about me and the way I think that will engage clients. He spent a remarkable amount of time with me, and asked lots of questions about me and my business. He was confident in his craft, and totally relaxed about working in different environments and with someone (me) who had no idea what to do in front of the camera. He was so clear with his communication and suggestions about what I needed to do for different shots, that I was able to relax, settle into the session, and follow his lead. We even ended up doing a second shoot, outdoors, which was a lot of fun. I ended up with more photographs than I ever anticipated, and because they really do show me, I feel genuinely good about using them in both professional and personal contexts. An overall awesome experience, and I never thought I'd say that about being photographed!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing isn't complicated, but it's usually less expensive for you if I quote a project rate than working on my day rate. It all depends on the project.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Clients usually come to me with a kernel of an idea and we work to develop it into a fully formed concept.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I'm having fun with levitation shots and landscape work lately. I also recently did a couple small business shoots that were a hoot.
