A little about me...

When it comes to my art, emotions are my inspiration. And when I capture a wedding in pictures, I’m inspired by every single moment. The drama and power of photography has captivated me all my life. From the first moment I explored Portland’s monthly gallery exhibits to the first time I developed prints myself, I knew my future was carving its space: I would be a professional photographer.


In 2007, I began shooting weddings. The excitement and energy of each event is intoxicating—and when I know I’ve captured the emotion of the moment, there’s no better feeling in the world. To get to that point, I start my journey with the bride and groom before I even pick up the camera. I’m inquisitive by nature, and understanding the details, design and style of a couple’s wedding can transform the tone of my images from beautiful to breathtaking. 


I shoot a full range of photos, but “portraits” hold a special place in my heart. Portraits are intensely personal and can be incredibly rewarding for a photographer. When a mother looks at a portrait of her daughter and says “oh, that’s so her” with the slightest smile on her face, I know I’ve given them something special. When I shoot portraits of family and guests, I hope that they’ll feel amazing when they see themselves in print. To deliver such emotion is a gift for me, and if I’m doing my job right, it’s a gift to my clients, as well. 


What I want for my clients is to bring every moment to life, to shape the story of their special day through my lens. I hope I can do exactly that for you.

The Eversole Family Cont…

I was super excited when Christine booked a family session in the Crystal Cove area down in Orange County. The shoot turned out to be a blast! Her family is adorable and genuinely happy, which of course makes them easy to shoot. In fact, the weather and location were so perfect that the session took less than an hour. They totally rocked it!

A little back-story on Christine…We met a few years back at a Pictage User Group when I was trying to decide if wedding photography was for me. We hit it off and after a few meetings she asked me if I would second shoot for her at an upcoming wedding. It was one of those questions that makes your day, one that you know is the beginning of something great. After over two years of shooting for CLS photography, I know that she is a huge part of my success.

If you’re a photographer, I hope that you never stop second shooting. It is so important to continue learning how people document weddings. Every single time I take away something that significantly improves the way I shoot.
Lastly, a few traditional shots…
