One of my favorite shots, from a portrait session with Rachel in Fremont.
Rachel was an absolute dream to work with -- we shot in a few different spots around the neighborhood to get her some new headshot looks for her acting portfolio. More images coming soon!
Cozy cabins, salutations to the four directions, hand-tied bouquets, and a whole lot of love came together out in eastern Washington just shy of ten days ago, as we traveled many a dusty, bumpy road to celebrate the marriage of Alex and Ambryn:
And, after an incredible dinner and countless toasts, we set up a makeshift photobooth in one of the cabins for the guests to play in. It was a last-minute move since the wind was picking up at our original location outdoors, and while imperfect (you can see a bit of the back wall of the cabin peeking through the tinsel), we all had a total blast in it!
It was an absolute honor to spend the day with these two amazing women, their families, and the communities that support them. Huge thanks to Laura Duffy for bringing me on as second shooter for this incredible event!
Part of an ongoing series of shoots with my pal Basil, aimed at capturing different looks for him for his acting portfolio.
This one was jokingly themed, "Safe Dad in a Cafe." I think we nailed it!
We've got a few more shoots to tackle before we wrap up -- I'll post the whole series once the project is complete. Stay tuned!
The Seattle branch of Northeastern University welcomed their first graduating class this year. We spent the afternoon cheering and celebrating, the room brimming with big dreams and well-wishes. Here are just a handful of shots from the day:
It was such a pleasure to shoot the staff of The Pike Brewing Company (including the founders Charles and Rose Ann Finkel, below) for their in-progress website redesign.
Their new site is still under construction, but I'll be sure to link back to the portrait page here when it posts!
UPDATE: See shots from the day in action here.
This month's project was a bit multi-faceted: I worked with mixed-media artist Laura Stalions to build a basic online gallery that showcased the pieces she wanted to list for sale, and also did a photoshoot for the actual pieces as well. One afternoon of shooting, a few days of Wordpress immersion, and a handful of basic edits later, I launched her site.
The shoot involved a visit to Laura's home studio, to capture accurate renderings of high-gloss paintings (without the pesky glare), straight-on images of her screenprints, and my personal favorite, these hand-forged wreaths:
In addition to the work displayed, she also does commissions and custom jobs -- don't hesitate to reach out to her if you have something in mind!
Each year, the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties hosts a giant volunteer event, and 2014's beneficiary was Seattle's YWCA. Over three hundred volunteers showed up to help facelift the common areas of the Y for the Painting A Better Tomorrow initiative.
