45th Parallel Photography

45th Parallel Photography My images are crafted with intention, rich color, and gallery quality detail designed to anchor a room and spark conversation. I have always loved photography.

From dramatic cityscapes to intimate lifestyle portraits, I turn moments into artwork that will enrich your home's decor. Even as a small child, I would set up props and backdrops and models, and take what I called "special effects" shots, using my grandmother's old 1940s Kodak. I wanted to share with others something that I saw, my vision, so to speak. As I grew up, I always had my camera with me

, whether it was a Polaroid or Yashika or Kodak, a camera was never very far from my reach. I am equally at home shooting landscapes with magnificent sunsets, the rising moon over a mountain, an intimate closeup of a bee collecting pollen, or the simple joy on a child's face as they see someone or something they love. I shoot for the sheer fun of it, and the enjoyment and satisfaction I get from creating something memorable and lasting. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy my photos. And if there is anything here that sparks your imagination, something that you''d like to be created specifically for you, please let me know, and let's discuss it.

This Painted Lady butterfly stopped long enough for a portrait while enjoying some verbena nectar. It's amazing how much beauty and detail can be packed into something with a wingspan of only a couple of inches, a true work of art.

Sometimes my easiest wildlife encounters happen just a few feet from my back door. This curious House Finch paused long enough to share a look, and a reminder that beauty is often found in one's backyard.

A day's end over Mount Hood from Trillium Lake never gets old. The mountain caught the last light while the sky turned shades of pink, purple, and gold. Evenings like this are why I love exploring Oregon.

Tucked beneath a canopy of evergreens, this little mountain stream reminds me that some of God's finest masterpieces aren't found on postcards. They're discovered a few steps down the trail.
