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.

Head-on with one of nature's most colorful masterpieces. Wood ducks always stop me in my tracks. Their incredible mix of iridescent greens, deep chestnut, crisp white markings, and brilliant red eyes almost looks too perfect to be real. It's worth every minute spent waiting for the right moment.

The day ends in whispers of gold and turquoise, and a lone gull keeps watch as the ocean recedes for the evening.

A lone balloon dancing with the morning sky,
Suspended between earth and eternity,
Where silence and reflection meet,
While drifting through a watercolor morning.

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.
