Sometimes you just need to get out and burn the film…. or in my case, the CF card.  Just shoot… free shoot.  Experiment with posing, with lighting, with editing- so if you see like a million different types of editing techniques here, just know that I was exploring, playing, stretching, seeing what was available to […]

Just over a week ago, I got the opportunity to attend the 2012  WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) convention.  There are SO many reason I LOVE that conference, but the main one is that I get to see friends who I connect with and follow from all over the world for one week, non-stop. […]

There is almost nothing better for a photographer than the annual WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) convention that happens in Vegas every February/March. I may be a bit bias considering I’ve only been been twice, but those two times are enough for me to co-sign.  WPPI is the most incredible experience.  If you ever […]

Isaiah is mad talented and made another pretty amazing video!  Last week we had the chance to hang out in Vegas for the annual photographer’s convention WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Professionals International).  It is the biggest photography conference in the world with an amazing line and up trade show.  There is NOTHING like it to […]

There are so many things I can say about how cool Bre is.  How her skin is the most creamy and beautiful I have ever seen! How she can rock the mess out of a red lipstick.  How her artsy and cool fashion is to die for.  Seriously, my seniors know how to dress.  How […]

I seriously could not LOVE a couple more than I do Junko and Ivan.  They are so genuine and kind, loving and giving.  When they walk in a room its pure joy.  They pine after the things of God and have the heart to match. They serve the City of Seattle through a personal project […]

Note: I just spent the last hour on this post because I wrote the most amazing blog post to one of my favorite albums, (because I totally write to music), and when I went to post the blog…. it was gone. I starred at the computer for the last 20 minutes trying to figure out […]

It was a joy to end the year with this fantastic family!  Autumn and Terry are amazing wonderful God-fearing people and their boys, the most polite, sweet and super cute kids and stylish…. my oh my!!  New Year’s Eve was exciting for both of us, as we shot their family we had 15 minutes earlier […]

So we all know I had a 8 pack prior to this pregnancy so I most definitely have a bump!!  Ha ha ha just joking, but my belly was definitely a tad bit tinier than it is now.  Our VERY first picture!!  I will be posting these every two weeks or so to share my […]

If I haven’t learned the lesson time and time again…. one thing that I am realizing more than ever is that I am, we are not in control of anything.  That life happens the way it should and all we can do is decide how we are going to respond to it.  This pregnancy is […]

Karina was SO much fun!  I loved shooting her so much.  If there was one senior this year who’s wardrobe I wanted to snatch off of their back, Karina was definitely it.  Her fashion sense so matched mine and I loved the layering, texture and bright bold colors she infused her session with it.  Karina […]
