Corvallis Senior Photography-More for the class of 2011

Keeping up with the class of 2011, here are three more from last week.

Commitment Ceremony-Corvallis Photography

I photographed my first commitment ceremony a few weeks ago at the Grand Ballroom in Salem. It was a wonderful ceremony filled with love happiness and joy. Just like all the weddings I shoot.

I don’t understand how in the year 2010 some in our society does not recognize, or understand, that the love between and man and a woman is the same as the love between and woman and women or man and a man. We are all people and everyone deserves the same rights. Deb and Jihesheia I wish you a long and happy marriage.

Now off of my soapbox.

you can see a slideshow from the wedding here.

Albany Oregon Wedding Amanda & Justin

Photographed Justin and Amanda's wedding a few weeks ago at Yellow Gold Farm in Albany. A great place for weddings.

I often tell couples when they book me that I just try to fit in at the wedding like a guest. I don't want to be part of the day just observe and take great photos.

This wedding was easy to do that. I photographed her family a few years ago. I shot her sister Keri and AJ's wedding last year.

It was like hanging out with old friends. You can see a quick slideshow of the wedding here.

Corvallis Senior Photography-Riley class of 2011

It has started. I am shooting a high school senior just about every day, and will for another 6 weeks or so. I really enjoy shooting them. The kids are great to work with and I can be as creative as I want. If you are a high school senior looking for kick great senior photos you can see a gallery of Senior Photos at KarlMaasdam.com or you can see all of this years seniors on my Facebook page

Corvallis Photographer-Food Photography

I am almost done with a shoot that has been in the works for over a year. I am shooting photos for a cookbook on Hazelnuts that local author, artist, foodie extraordinaire Jan Roberts-Dominguez is putting together. Food is very different then 95% of what I shoot very challenging but also very fun. The best part is eating the left overs when we are done with the shoots. I don't want to show any of the photos until the book comes out, but here you can see Jan arranging the food and Ryan Garder who is assisting me on the shoot. If you are on my Christmas list guess what you are getting for Christmas this year.

Corvallis Engagement Photography

About five years ago Michelle was one of the first senior reps we used to help get the High School Senior Photography part of our business started. I am shooting Michelle's wedding to Aaron next year, and earlier this week we had a great time shooting engagement photos of them around town.

Corvallis Wedding Photography-Airlie Winery

This year had been a year of all new wedding venues for me to shoot at. I like that because it is always fun to photograph new people and places. Dan and Neal's wedding at Airlie Winery outside of Corvallis is a great place for a nice intimate wedding lots of great place to shoot. Dan and Neal were wonderful to work with and I got lots of great photos form the day.

The only thing I would of changed is my directions. I tried to go home a quicker way and got lost. Took me an hour longer to get home. I am an idiot sometimes.
