My Way

This weekend I shot Katie’s Bridal pictures (of Ben + Katie). They are getting married in Texas next month and she wanted to do Bridal’s before the wedding.

Bridal’s aren’t very common in the Pacific Northwest, so I really didn’t have that much (or any) experience to draw from. Let me rephrase that…I had NO idea what the hell I was doing. When that happens, I just go with my gut and do things my way.

I think her Mom was going to have a heart attack when I told her daughter to RUN in her dress in the MIDDLE of the road. When that happens, I usually know I am on the right track :)

Studio G

I can’t decide who is cuter!

Friends

I think it is safe to say that I have been shying away from studio work for far too long. So if I want to continue to shoot throughout the year, this means I need to have options. As to how I am going to use this option is still yet to be determined.

Always up for a challenge, I have been refining my studio set up in preparation for the best of the Seattle winter.

My friends are so good to me. Melissa graciously volunteered to model for me. Gracie, who was originally supposed to be on the sidelines, was having none of that as she is quite used to being front and center. The studio set up isn’t near where I want it to be, but I’m confident I’ll get there. It just takes practice (and willing models).

Here are a few shots of Gracie + Melissa

Local Folks

I just had a last minute cancellation and have an opening this Wednesday. Probably too short of notice for anyone but I figured what the heck!

Take advantage of this GORGEOUS summer light!

Email me if you’re interested.

A New Job?

I think if the dog market ever goes south I am going to be a “Kids at Weddings” photographer. I think kids pick up on the energy of the day and it makes them do all kinds of crazy things! I love it.

Here are a few from the wedding last weekend. Don’t they just make you smile?
