Kristi  Warter and I go way back…we’re talkin’ Homeroom in Jr. High, way back. In those days I was a giant geek who was pretty surprised when the more popular girls in school  (like Kristi) would even talk to me. Over 10 years have passed and once again Kristi and I are nearly neighbors. In [...]

Tradition plays a pivotal role in all cultures. And no where is this fact more evident then in a marriage ceremony. This last weekend I attended the wedding of Josh and Julia and was witness to their participation on many different traditions. Some, old, some new, at least a few borrowed, and yes, one was [...]

When I started the contest for a 16×20 canvas print at the beginning of the month I figured that I would get short, reviews that read something like “Yeah, she took my photos and didn’t suck.” Boy was I overwhelmed when I read them! Instead of quickie blurbs, I found deep sincere appreciation for the [...]

When I was 18 years old I shot my first wedding for pay. I vividly remember taking the negatives (yes, you read that correctly) to my client’s house for delivery a few weeks after the event. Back then I had no clue what copyright meant and I was just making the whole thing up as [...]

On Saturday Terice and I spent our day at the lovely Lord Hill Farms for the wedding of Lindsay Bowyer and Jesse McCelland. To say these two are fun loving is an understatement! Jesse loves the camera, and it loves him back.

After shooting this image I couldn’t help but show it to Lindsay. Her smile [...]

It took literally weeks of planning, an act of God in the weather department, but the Photowalk Across America:Seattle, was a total success! Our three models were terrific. It was great to meet all of the photographers that attended and see the way others shoot.  Here’s how the day began
5:30am: I hauled my sorry butt [...]

For this shoot it really helped to draw on the relationship I already had with each child, relationships that have been fostered over many photoshoots. Chyenne is so comfortable with me and in front of the camera that I could have asked her to stand on her head and smile and it would have happened! I’m sure this ease in front of the camera also has something to do with her Mom always having a camera too. These same kinds of relationships are easy to build with new clients during a consultation.

Thanks to Rachael and Josh for opening their home to me and allowing me to take over their living room! If you are pregnant or just interested in having your child photographed, please call 425.367.4781 to schedule a personal consultation and photo session.
