Telling Stories

The magic of photography is about the story the image tells and the feelings it creates in the viewer. When you see a wedding photograph that makes you feel warm inside because of the absolute joy on the couple’s face, that is a successful image. When you see a pensive portrait of a young adult looking into the future, and you wonder what he is thinking, that image is working magic. When you see an image of an old door in Italy and you can see the generations of changes that have occurred and you wonder about the families that have lived inside, that is an image that is sharing a story.

I’m always looking forward to the next project and the story I get to tell!

Seattle Senior Portraits | Jace
Seattle Senior Portraits | Jace

Jace is a senior at Seattle Prep. He plays tennis and drums. We set up the drum set on a hill at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park for some sunset portraits. After sunset, we went to a tennis court to do some night shots with a racket and some balls. His parents had some fun with throwing some tennis balls at Jace.

Imperia Lake Union Wedding | Ashley & Alex
Imperia Lake Union Wedding | Ashley & Alex

Ashley and Alex are a fantastic, warm, and caring couple that met at their gym. It was a lot of fun to photograph the two of them and their friends and family at their Imperia Lake Union wedding. They had a set designer create a very cool backdrop on the stage for their wedding. I don’t see that a lot at Imperia because it has so much style that it doesn’t need a lot added to it. However, the designer did a great job of enhancing the space and making it unique to Ashley and Alex while retaining the art deco charm that the venue always has. It is one of my favorite wedding venues to photograph in Seattle.

Ballard Family Portraits | Aiko, Zack & Family
Ballard Family Portraits | Aiko, Zack & Family

I met Aiko and Zack several years ago when I photographed their wedding. It has been a lot of fun to see them so many times over the years. This time, they added a new family member!

Rattlesnake Lake Engagement Portraits | Laura & Bret
Rattlesnake Lake Engagement Portraits | Laura & Bret

I met Laura and Bret at Rattlesnake Lake for their engagement portraits. I hadn’t seen the lake with such a low water level before which exposed lots of old tree stumps. It was an odd, cool look that made for some very cool photographs, but not what I was expecting. I can’t wait for Laura and Bret’s wedding in a few months!

Seattle Small Business Marketing Photography
Seattle Small Business Marketing Photography

One of my favorite things to do is to create a set of images for a small business. There is usually a lot of creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration involved to create some great marketing photographs for the company. For this set of images for Peter of The Seattle Personal Trainer, we had some of his clients come into the gym on Queen Anne and created images of him coaching and helping them. It was a fun shoot!

Seattle Elopement at Kubota Garden | Jessica & Marco

Spotlight Series

As a personal project, I have started what I am calling my Spotlight Series. There are so many people working to make things better in some way. My vision for the project is that I want to find them, meet them, photograph them, and tell their stories. I especially want to lift up people doing things that I may not have known anything about before I met them, or I feel like they deserve some sort of small recognition that I can provide. In addition to trying to find people on my own, I would love help in finding worthy, interesting people. If you know the perfect person, please email me or fill out my handy nomination form.

Spotlight Series | Josh Binda
Spotlight Series | Josh Binda

Josh Binda is an amazing young man and I find him inspiring. It is easy to go to protests, but it is hard to organize and lead them. It is easy to say you want to change things, but it is hard to come up with a plan to make change and to do the work to make it happen. When the opportunity presented itself with the Black Lives Matter movement, instead of shrinking to the back, Josh stepped forward and led marches all over Snohomish and parts of King Counties.
