Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking Tristin's portrait just past his one year birthday. Tristin is an energetic boy and along with his parents we had a great time taking his photos. After setting up a mini studio in the livingroom we we started with several of Tristin's stuffed animals and got him to ride this large green dragon. Thanks to Tristin's mother and father for all of the wonderful noises and antics behind me to hold their sons attention. Here are the fruits of our labor. More »

While holding a little mini light workshop for a few photographer buddies of mine Kevin was kind enough to sit while I played with a few lighting setups that I had been wanting to try. All of these shots were taken against the same grey background. I was able to change the color of the background by placing a gel on the background light or just eliminating it completely for a smooth black. More »

This was my second portrait session with the lovely Maia who was turning one year old. Since the last shoot Maia had become much more mobile. We tried to keep her happy and entertained while in the correct spot for some photos. Sarah had the great idea of getting some shots of Maia as she dug her way into a little birthday cake. I had a great time taking Maia's portrait. She is a sweet girl and I look forward to the next time. More »

I had the honor of taking photos of the engagement of Gerrin and Rocell at the beautiful Point Defiance Park. I have taken both Gerrin and Rocell's portrait before but this time there was a plan underfoot. Gerrin had asked me about a month before about taking photos of his engagement and he wanted to use the photoshoot as cover to get Rocell all dressed up with a camera pointed at her without drawing any suspicion. Gerrin explained to Rocell that I had an portrait subject drop out on me at the last minute and that since they were going to be dressing up for dinner anayways that they would help me out and be my substitute subjects for the afternoon. I met the couple at the Park after scouting out a few locations earlier and we proceeded to take some portraits. After 40 minutes of so I gave Gerrin the queue with my camera ready and he popped the question. More »

Just got back from my first day at PAX. It was completely overwhelming and really brought out my inner nerd. Tons of games of all sorts from card, to rollplaying, to cell phone, and of course video games. Kevin and I attended the question and answer segment of the "How to Get Your Girlfriend Into Gaming" seminar that was lead by a panel of 6 or so women gamers who gave candid and enlightening answers to all sorts of girl and gaming questions. It made me chuckle a few times but the mood was positive and many of the answers empowering. Next we met up with Matt and moved through the Expo Hall full of commercial demo video games with consoles and wide screen displays set up everywhere. More »

Kyle, Lindsey, Holly and I all piled into the car and headed to Seaside WA for a fun filled beach weekend. Our weekend started out in Cannon Beach where we rented recumbent tricycles. We all enjoyed zipping back and forth and circling each other as we worked our way up and down the beach. After a quick bite to eat we headed back to Seaside to check into our room. And what a room it was folks. Complete with kitchenette and two bed and two bathrooms we were not by any means roughing it. More »

Portraits of Kyle and Lindsey were taken at Seaside WA. Holly and I had a great weekend at the beach and Kyle and Lindsey were kind enough to let me take their portraits. We had a bit of a struggle with the wind but the beach is such a beautiful place to shoot portraits it was hard to pass up. More »

I had the pleasure of shooting some senior and family portraits for the Lahaszow family. We shot in their neighbors backyard which provided many different backdrops and even the sunset didn't cooperate with us we managed to get some good family portraits. I had a great time meeting their family and I think the fun shows in the photos. More »

Our 5th anniversary celebration this year started with a brunch in the revolving restaurant in the Space Needle. The space needle has a special significance for us since I proposed underneath it and we watched the sunset shortly afterward from the top. The food was delicious and the view was constantly changing. We worked our way through all three courses and took two laps around the restaurant as we ate. After breakfast we changed into our bike clothes and boarded the fairy to Bainbridge Island. The plan was to take the ferry to the island and then ride our bikes to Kianna Lodge where were married.

I had the pleasure of shooting Sarah and Cheri's wedding this past Saturday. I have known Sara through Choral Arts where we have been singing together for several years. We even did a few wedding gigs as a duet. She has a beautiful voice and we have always got along. Sarah left Choral Arts to get her masters in Hawaii where she met Cheri. Thus the lei's for all the guests. More »

I had the honor of photographing my cousin Jesper's wedding to Cara in Bozeman MT at the beautiful Springhill Pavilion. The Pavilion is a turn of the century dance hall nestled at the base of the Briger Mountains surrounded by a private working ranch. It was an amazing setting to have a wedding. The ceremony started about 4pm and everyone looked great. The entire ceremony was well thought out and beautifully executed from the readings to their vows. The weather threatened to rain the whole time but held off just long enough for the ceremony to complete. More »
