Indya & Robert - Hinman Vineyards

The kids in the background really made this image. Sometimes its the little things...

A New Ad.

I call this one the "Reservoir Dogs". (thanks guys for playing along)

Carole and Jacob

These are from my recent shoot of Carole and Jacob's wedding. They were a real pleasure to photograph. They were fun loving and open to trying some photo experimentation like the top pic where I had them pose in front of the limo headlights at the top of Skinner's Butte.

I wish them all the best!

Senior Portraits

This was a recent photoshoot with Sean in Hendricks Park. We had a good time shooting with different "props" (Sean is a runner and in the marching band so he brought his trombone and his track shoes).

As part of the expansion of my photographic services I am now offering senior portrait sessions. Contact me directly for portrait session pricing.

Engagement Photos

Earlier this year I expanded my services to include engagement portrait sessions as an add on to my wedding packages. I've shot a few so far in Eugene and now one in Corvallis.

This image is from my photo shoot of Cheurisya and Shane on a farm owned by Shane's parents. They were a great couple and the location was gorgeous.

I'm looking forward to the wedding!

Rose & Ben

Rose & Ben

I captured this shot from the front seat of a Vancouver Taxi on the way to the ceremony. The cramped conditions forced me to shoot "blind" by pointing my camera over my shoulder. I was thrilled to find this shot turned out so well. It was a a sincerely emotional moment as Rose and Ben sat in nervous anticipation.

It's alive... ALIVE!

Rose & Ben - Vancouver, WA

My new commercial wedding photography site (www.erikbishoff.com) is now live. I want to thank the good folks at BluDomain.com for a flawless transition. The only hitch was a temporary email outage brought on by... me! It's amazing how wrong things can go as a result of just one misplaced letter.

I look forward to your feedback. Any suggestions, kudos, complaints, or concerns regarding my new site are encouraged!

Carrie & Aaron

Carrie & Aaron - Sauve Island, OR

There's a neat story behind this one.

One of my classmates, Adam, referred me to Carrie and Aaron last year. Adam's wife, coincidentally, used to be friends with some of my high school friends and attended a wedding in which I was Best Man back in the early 90's. Adam's wife was also, coincidentally, a classmate of my wife's back when she was Law School. Meanwhile, Carrie, coincidentally, worked as a bartender in Ashland Oregon around the same time that I was tending bar across town and, although we didn't know each other well, we did have a lot of the same friends.

Small world... eh?

New site... coming soon?

Beasley Wedding - Plymouth, MA 2006

My good friend Jen Downer of She Saw Things turned me on to a company by the name of BluDomain.com that specializes in designing photography portfolio websites. After working at a web designer for years I am more than familiar with how time consuming it can be to maintain your own website. In fact, my wife and I designed my existing site about a year ago. Designing my own site was fun but with my business building quickly and grad school devouring my time, I realized I needed a better solution. I picked up the BluDomain template "Juan" for a reasonable price and started working on it last week. If all goes well, my schnazzy new site will be wowing everyone soon.

More to come...

New "Erik Bishoff Phtography" Logo

I've started work on new website that will be going live soon. Special thanks to my good friend Martin Grandahl of The Afterglow Lounge for the logo work! More to come...

Photo proofing site launched.

In my continued effort to better serve my clients I am launching my new photo proofing site at http://erikbishoff.smugmug.com. While my new proofing site does offer print services I will continue to provide my clients with digital negatives of all photos which they may share freely for web posting and printing. I am hoping that erikbishoff.smugmug.com will make printing and sharing images with friends and family more convenient.

To view a sample gallery and try out the print services click on Indya & Robert's icon and enter the password "Bull". If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to contact me via the contact page on my website at ErikBishoff.com

Grand opening of erikbishoff.blogspot.com

With the impending upgrade to my commercial photography website at http://www.erikbishoff.com and the launch of my proofing site at http://erikbishoff.smugmug.com I thought it apropos to also launch a new "commercial" blog here at http://erikbishoff.blogspot.com.

I'm not new at this, I've been blogging, web-designing, and (most importantly) "photography-ing" for years but this summer it has all really started to come together.

Please visit my blog from time-to-time as I will discuss my ideas about running a small business, working in photojournalism, and exploring fine art photography. Every day I discover new techniques in photo-editing, discover new software and technologies, and find more and more new ways of better-serving my clients. I will be sure to offer up many tips and tricks while showing samples of my work. It is a lot to take in and I am hoping to use this blog not only to attract new clients but to organize my thoughts and dialog with my associates.
