Winter Senior Portraits: Emily
Winter Senior Portraits: Emily
Late last month I received an inquiry for a last minute Senior portrait session. They needed their images done and ready to deliver to the school by Friday, we shot that Wednesday and I had these images done in 24 hours. *whew!*
Considering we didn’t have room to reschedule if the weather was bad, this was pretty risky since winter in the PNW tends to be very wet.
We managed to do hair and…

Film is alive.
October is one of the busiest months of the year for me. It is still wedding season and everyone is trying to get fall photos done before the leaves go away.
This particular shoot was for my Sister in law and their family. We hadnt seen their new home they had purchased in June, so it was a twofer! Shoot and see the new house, sounds like a great Sunday.
We drive an hour to our destination,…

I have slacked HARD for an entire year.
Yes, an entire year. My last post was May of 2015. WHOOPS.
A lot has happened! I quit my full time job at UW medical center as a general anesthesia GI Patient Care Coordinator, went full time freelance for Photography and Makeup. I have been busy ever since, and never looked back. Things are going (surprisingly) awesome!
Last week I received a last minute request for Senior portraits. I have only done one Senior portrait session in the four years I have been shooting, so I was pretty excited for a challenge.
We did Hair and Makeup early in the morning. Wrapped up and started to review wardrobe selections, looked outside and it was raining. This wasn’t your regular “sprinkle”, this was some legit Seattle Springtime rain. I looked at her, she looked back……and decided to go for it. In true PNW fashion, we shot at Discovery Park in the rain, ending at the lighthouse.
This session was some of my favorite and (I feel) best work I have done this year.
Cheers to new years and new challenges!!

I meet models through friends, facebook and sometimes on Instagram. Thats how I found Marlow, or actually, how she found me. Social media can be terrible, but then it can introduce you to rad people like this lady. Business woman by day, bass player in a band/ bad ass model on evenings and weekends. Kind of like Jem, only way cooler.

Recent shoot in the studio with Carolyn and her friend Kyle, who happened to be in town from LA. Great lighting provided by the sunshine, we shot mid day, and into the sunsetting. This was one of the first shoots I have done in the studio with both natual light and with a tiny bit of assitance from my lights.
I was able to get in at least three great looks with them. Very happy with the results. I mean, who doesnt love shooting beautiful models who are besties?
Below are my favorite images from our session. See the full gallery here.

Fall Portrait Session: Lara and Gareth
Earlier this year I received an email from a friend/ previous makeup client and it read, “So I’ve been thinking about getting some photos taken of my brother, his girlfriend, Keith and myself for Christmas presents for our parents/fam. I’d like some decent pics of my bro before he possibly looses his amazing beard/hair again.”
Gareth is Lara’s little brother who is currently being treated for…

"Artist's Block" = Your own self doubt
Recently I have struggled with myself as an artist. Hell, lets just say….as a person.
We all want to be liked, we want people to notice us. The little intricacies in our work that we hold so dear, the detail, time, energy and love…..we wish others would notice. But they dont. They see it, the “concept”. A pretty photo. They dont feelit, not the way we do. You post this work, that you love, took…

I met Romm and Rachael through a mutual friend. This is the first wedding I have booked Solo. When I met with Rachael the first time, I was taken back at how she really paid attention to detail. She studied art in college and knows a thing or two about photography. (Which FREAKS me out!)
I felt so honored that they would choose me as their photographer for one of the biggest days of their lives. Thats trust, and having alot of faith in me as an artist. Kind of made me feel all fuzzy. In addition to feeling honored and fuzzy, I felt LUCKY. When you start out as a photographer, you give discounts…..even trade services…….for a Hasselblad 2000fcm, with two film backs, four lenses and a case! (Guess who is doing Polaroids for their client’s wedding next year?! )
Here are some of my favorites from their session. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Auntie vibes
I love catching up with my sister, most importantly…..I love taking advantage of the time I have with my nieces. They can be hard to photograph, but I managed to catch them at JUST the right time. We were watching the ducks swim in the pond, they’re such good little girls.
Auntie loves her little bugs.
