Now Offering Adventure Portraits: Photography + Painting
I am now offering something completely unique in the wedding photography world: adventure portraits combining photography and painting.
In collaboration with Seattle painter Niki Sherey, I am offering paintings based on photos of my client’s weddings, engagement, and family photography sessions.
Niki is a fantastically gifted artist and I am thrilled to offer this very special service for all of my clients in 2011!

SOLSTICE PARK IN WEST SEATTLE PORTRAIT SESSION | LAURA + DAN | FILM
As the chill sets in the air, it’s hard to think back to the summertime, isn’t it? However, it was just a short time ago. This is one of my favorite sessions from the summer. Dan and Laura are a wonderful couple. They are incredibly easy-going and kind. It was such a pleasure to shoot this portrait session for them.
The trees in Solstice Park in West Seattle really provided much needed shade on a very warm evening. They were also the perfect backdrop for this loving couple.
I love how the apples were both part of the photo shoot in terms of color and as a snack too.
Thank you, Dan and Laura. We had a great time that evening at Solstice Park and Lincoln Park. It’s really a joy to look back over these photos today. You are a fabulous couple!

New York City Wedding Photography | Brooklyn Family Portrait
Robin and I are home again in Seattle, but we have fond memories of visiting our friends on the East Coast a few weeks ago. The weather was perfect and crisp. The leaves were changing. NYC is great in the Fall. And, although I shot a wedding an engagement shoot (coming soon), we made our best efforts to enjoy ourselves outside of working. We hit the streets of Brooklyn on Halloween and wandered around until we found a sweet place serving food and apple cider. On our way there, we saw tons of kids dressed up for Halloween. This mom and son, however, were my favorite. Who doesn’t love a mama owl and a baby owl celebrating Halloween together?
If you recognize them, please let me know. I’d love to give them a copy of this photo, which was taken in film on my Contax 645.
Kent Engagement Photography | Eveline + Chad
Last Saturday I had the chance to shoot a fantastic engagement session with Eveline and Chad at Clark Lake Park in Kent, WA. Being a Seattle wedding photographer, I tend to stay in and around the city of Seattle for most of the wedding season. It was really nice to head out to Clark Lake Park in Kent WA, and get out into nature. Chad and Eveline have a contagious enthusiasm about them and they were up for anything. We hiked all over the park with their dog Molly and found many great spots to shoot. I really love the Fall light, and to top it all off, we had the moon overhead for most of the evening. It was gorgeous.
I look forward to shooting Eveline and Chad’s wedding at Kubota Garden next summer. I’m sure it will be a blast!

Adrienne and Mark | Seattle, Washington
These are some of my favorite portraits this year from an engagement session in Washington Park Arboretum at UW. Dreamy and romantic.
I love the way the film captured the chemistry between Adrienne and Mark. The golden light in the sleepy bays and inlets of the waterways convey the timelessness of this place and the soft affection they share for each other.
