I now offer a unique swimwear shoot package on the beautiful Oregon coast!

While a lot of local photographers shoot swimwear at Sauvie Island (and I’ve done that myself) — I’ve found the photos I shoot on the Oregon coast beaches are a whole lot better. There’s better scenery, better beaches, and of course, there’s the Pacific ocean! Swimwear photos — especially sunset shots — just look better when there’s an ocean in them instead of farmland.

Click the link or photo above for details. This is an opportunity to get the coolest swimwear photos you’ve ever had so don’t let summer slip past without scheduling your very own, custom, Oregon coast swimwear photo shoot!

Finally narrowed this shoot down and getting ready to post the proofs for final selections by the model. Seems like every time I look at the photos from the shoot, I come across another cool pic (like this one) to post! Definitely a nice “dilemma” to have after a photo shoot!

Little confession– I’m not always the best natural light shooter. But sometimes I do nail it like in this photo. And no surprise, when I nail it, it’s usually right before sunset or after sunrise. I sure wish there was a golden hour for graphic design because I suck at that (Exhibit A, my layout of the photo above). I am very much interested in developing a long term relationship with a graphic designer though. Contact me if you think we might be a good match. I tend to like naturally bold design but like most people, I don’t know it until I see it!

Couple of black and white swimwear photos from the Oregon coast. Someday, I’d love to do a whole series of b&w swimwear photos on a really foggy, coastal day!

Here’s one of my favs from the swimwear shoot this past week. I love the colors and overall soft feeling of the image.

Couple of sunset beach model shots– one using the sun as the key light and the other using the sun as the backdrop. That big orange/yellow ball o’ hydrogen sure has versatility in terms of photography!

Lucky coincidence in the top photo — I was shooting on the beach when these surfers walked into frame. I like the beachy feel they give the shot. The other photo was shot on top of a picnic table. I put down a towel and cranked up the power on the strobe to get the darkish look to the image.

Yup — this swimwear shoot was awesome!
