Plicanic Family – Seattle Center Adventures

It’s finally spring!  Tis the season for sunnier photo shoots and blustery days with longer daylight hours. Last week I had the huge honor of photographing one of the instructors from my day-job over at CreativeLive.  Khara and her family were in town while she taught a class and lucky for me, they wanted to […]

I met Nicole and her husband Eric a few years ago through some mutual friends.  Nicole has been such an incredible supporter of mine as I have worked on refining my photography skills over the years.  I recall before I shot my 2nd wedding I wanted to do some tests with my new camera and […]

Hamlin Family – Stocker Farms Pumpkin Patch

Rittenmyer Family – Marymoor Park

Every once in a while the stars align and the weather gods bless you with perfection exactly when you need it.  That’s how it was a week ago when we hedged our bets, got up before dawn, and made our way over to the Eastside of Seattle for an early morning sunrise shoot.  The drive […]

Burns Family – Trinity Tree Farm

Last weekend I strolled through the glorious pines of Trinity Farms with the Burns family as we selected a tree and took some family photos.  What a treat to see this family growing.  I always have the best time on our shoots.
