These images are from a multi-part portrait series for Seattle-based digital product studio, Substantial.  The collection is part of their effort to start doing more storytelling around their projects and their people.

  My sister Michelle is such an inspiration. She’s an incredible cellist, teacher, mom, wife, sister, and friend. She does it all while being kind, professional, and empathetic to all around her. I am so proud of her, and I am thrilled she let me capture these portraits for her so she can build out […]

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing my friend Beth for her new event planning venture Feast & Spectacle.  About 6 years ago we were co-workers at a Seattle ad agency sifting our way through project plans and budgets trying to find ways to make the creative team happy and to help the client […]

Back in February when it was grayer than gray and beyond chilly I attended a fun pop up floral design workshop I had heard about through Instagram where I met Pam.  Our table was full of fun ladies and overflowing with roses and greens.  In the darkness of winter (if you’re a northwesterner you know […]

PNW Winter Fun

I’ve known Lelia for almost 10 years.  What’s super fun to me about this particular shoot is that we’ve worked together at 2 different jobs and seen each other’s careers go every which way but I would venture to say that neither of us ever expected to be where we find ourselves now and in […]

Brunch Reflections

I’ve been trying to carry my DSLR along more often so I can practice new things and continue refining.  Today at brunch I was struck by how many reflective surfaces I was drawn to.  It got me thinking about the notion of reflection in the first place. As awkward as it has been for me, […]
