Tim and Kirsten Wedding

I had so much fun getting to see a family friend of mine get married and being able to photograph her wedding. Tim and Kirsten were married on July, 28th, 2012 at the Old Church in Downtown Portland. They booked me in advance the year before and, as the months went by, I was growing more and more excited to see Kirsten and her family on her very special day.

I grew up with her little sister since Preschool and my family and Kirsten's family have been close friends for years. Thanks you Tim and Kirsten for being such joy filled and peaceful people. I greatly enjoyed getting to take part in your wedding. :)

Geena Senior Potraits | Portland Oregon

I had the great opportunity of photographing Geena's senior portraits back in September of this year.
She was super kind and very friendly. We had a fun time talking and laughing throughout our photo shoot at Laurelhurst park, in SE Portland. The lighting that afternoon turned out so fantastic and gave such a warm and cozy feeling to the mood of the photos. I really enjoy getting to meet such fun and cool people like Geena through being able to take their photograph on a shoot.

Thanks Geena! You were so much fun to hang out with during our photo shoot. Hope you have a great rest of your senior year!

Studio Stock Photos - Helpful "How To" Tips and Links

Below are some of the recent stock photos I've been shooting here at my studio. Stock photography is something I've been shooting since the beginning of 2010, and in 2012, has picked up steadily to be a consistent part of my total monthly income. I shoot exclusively for iStockphoto.com and my full portfolio can be seen at istockphoto.com/timnewman

Shooting stock photography is simple - shoot what you want with high quality standards and upload your photos regularly. It's a great way to earn some extra cash on photos that otherwise would be sitting on your hard drive for a decade.
