Return of the Blog...
As some of you have noticed, I've taken some time off from the blogging world while recovering from some eye surgeries since October. It's been an adventurous road, but I'm finally back at it, and excited to start getting that shutter clicking again.
During the next few months I'll posting articles with all sorts of helpful wedding tips (as we're about to start the 2008 wedding season), and fun tips for family candids, getting ready for senior portraits, and just general fun stuff.
For a bit of fun, here's a few "favorites" from new galleries I've posted (all of them can be viewed by visiting the Galleries link on the main website).
Happy Spring Everyone!!!
MELISSA, JACOB & CALEB: FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
Who says your family portraits have to be remniscent of your yearly school photo? Have your family portraits truly represent your family by going to one of your favorite locations and just play! For this shoot we visited a fun park with plenty of fall leaves...
One of our favorite "posed" portraits from the day...
Nothing says "two year old" as much as sliding down a slide backwards...
Almost as good as leaping into a pile of leaves, throwing them in the air to hear that priceless little kid giggle...
ROB & UNIQUE: COUPLE'S PORTRAIT
To capture the lighthearted and fiesty spirit of this couple we kept more of an urben feel, and shot in fall during the sunset to get that extra splash of fiery colors.
At Gas Works Park...
At Seattle Center...
At Alki Beach... 
SAHILA AND CONOR: FAMILY PORTRAIT
When it comes to family portraits - especially with little kids, I love to do more of an "in the moment" style in addition to the standard artisitic posed portraits. For this shoot we kept it entirely journalistic by enjoying a day a park complete with bubbles, and even caught a surprise moment of Conor's first time balancing! Truly some priceless images!
This was Conor's very first time balancing on his own!
MELISSA AND AMADEUS: HORSES
Family doesn't just mean the human companions in our lives, it also means the animals in our lives. With beautiful scenery these images truly captured the incredible connection between Melissa and her horse, Amadues. (Note - Melissa is also one of my previous brides!)
KATE, JOHN & BABY JACK: FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
There is little in life more precious and heart-felt than some images of your new baby. Just days before John was to head back out on deployment, they enjoyed some quiet time with their new 16 day old son, Jack. I always feel extremely honored to do this type of shoot. To make it nice and easy on them, I brought my portable studio to them. (Special note: Kate and John were one of my bride & grooms!)
JANET, MODOCK & YONDER: HORSES
When the friend of one of my brides found out that she was getting portraits with her horse, Janet just couldn't resist. Truly a fun shoot filled with lots of laughter and beautiful moments between her and horses Madock and Yonder.
