I love smoothies and for some reason I fell into a rut where the blender just sat in the corner of my counter and gathered dust. Last weekend I watched a food photography workshop and started to really think about light […]

In honor of my newest addition, the full-framed Canon 5D Mark III, I’ve decided to start a little series where I play with my lenses and have a bit fun with different f-stops. Today, I started with Canon’s 50mm 1.4 lens. I shot everything at 1.4 and went for a soft series of shots with […]
In what might amount to one of the biggest leaps forward in my photo career I have upgraded to a full frame camera. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to get started. The difference from my previous crop frame 7D to the 5d Mark III is tremendous. My lenses will now be reflective of […]

My Dad would teach and perform at music festivals (sometimes my mom too!) and we’d spend the glorious summer months in some of the most beautiful and scenic places around. We primarily stayed in Seattle, a small little island […]

I love the architecture, design, and style of spaces and how it all comes together to give you a terrific experience. I’m making it a point to start documenting some of that inspiration. Here are a couple recent snaps from […]

With any luck we’ll dip into some October beauty as well. For now though, I’m enjoying every droplet from growing tomatoes on my balcony to swimming in […]
