Children have the most amazing eyes!

Yes! The Seattle Aquarium is a Wedding Venue!

Sepia for wedding photos adds a timeless feel.

Sometimes the small details make some of the most fun wedding images!

Big personality makes for the best pictures!

Think comfort clothes, favorite places, concept shots. I love to stretch the boundaries when shooting Senior Photos. I offer at least two different locations as a standard for my Senior Portrait sessions.

Seattle always fun!

Josh wanted anything but the "rock" as Bainbridge Island Seniors have been known to call it. I had the best afternoon of my life running Josh around Seattle! Every Senior portrait should reflect the subject. I am ready for the shot no matter what or where.

Ok! I see Matt Dillon! This handsome Senior didn't even know who the actor was! Sometime I really feel my age! Once again an opprtunity to create family memories for a wonderful family, this is their second Senior Portrait session with me. Great kid.real original.

Sun, Beach and Big Beautiful Futures can't get better then that!

I have known maddie since she was 5. Each sibling I photographed got a boat shot as part of their family tradition. I think Maddie winds with this one! Start your own senior portrait family tradition, I am game!

The Senior Season is the most fun of all.

I treat every senior portrait session as an opprtunity to show the many faces of my subjects. A bag of thier favortie of clothes, a great outdoor location and a few well timed jokes equal relaxed, real timeless images that are a joy to see.

Bridal and Newlywed Show

It is so easy to keep your nose to the ground and work your butt off only to find that time has passed you by. In an effort to combat that disease I have become involved at a time when let's face it, not many entities are willing to extend themselves. I have thrown my self into helping my wife create a show. http://www.kitsapbridalandnewlywedshow.com/ 100% of the door proceeds are going to support local community services in the form of the food bank. As a fashion element the show is hosting Brides Against Breast Cancer, the National Tour. A great organization if you are not aware yo should check it out; http://www.makingmemories.org/. As a local storefront owner for the last 16 years I have seen some ups and downs but this feels different. I totally see how important it is for the small town shop owners to stick together so the secondary focus for the show was to profile and unite peninsula vendors. I can tell you to no surprise that they are the ones making this show an EVENT! A big thanks to all the local shops who are participating in the show, donating goods and services for fund raising and honestly stepping up when most corporate entities beat a fast retreat and slammed the door. Please attend the show if you can. We have been donated so much frees stuff we should be raffling off something every half hour. Win free invitations for your wedding, win a massage, win dinner out with your new husband. Buy a gown from the Breast Cancer Gown show. It is a win win! Stay tuned for pics from the show! In the mean time I am going to load this blog with images I love. I hope you enjoy it!
