Busy Bee

Wow, I have been a busy little bee! Weddings in January, studio portraits in Feb, lots of head shots in March. What will April bring? How about 10% off all outdoor portrait sessions for the entire month? It's time to enjoy the great outdoors again. I'm feeling cooped up and wanting to stretch my creative soul in the warm sunshine.
Who wants to join me?

6 month old's first portrait

Angela called me a few weeks ago and stated "My daughter is growing up too fast! I need you to take some pictures." Angela's daughter is about 6 months old and at the perfect age for her 1st professional portrait. In fact, it's my favorite age to photograph because they aren't crawling yet,(captive audience!) they sit up by themselves, their personality is blossoming and they love it when I get silly. This little girl was a bit more serious and preferred to observe than bust out laughing...fine with me, it gave me a chance to focus on her beautiful soulful eyes.

Tough and Tender

I found this image as I was going though some old files.

Golden Garden's Portrait Session

The Douglas family came to me after winning one of my Gift Certificates at a recent NARAL fund-raising auction. They had never had a portrait created and were a little nervous. Not formal people, they didn't want to be portrayed as such. They chose Seattle's Golden Garden Park to do the portrait and we were blessed with a beautiful, dry overcast day. The variety of landscape opened us to many options for backdrops as they laughed and played with one another.

Holiday portraits

Tis the season for last those last minute portrait sessions for the holidays!
Here's a sample of a couple of kids I photographed this week.

Halloween night

It was a crazy night...167 portraits in 3 hours! This was the 5th year I offered my free 30 second portraits for the the Vashon Isl. community. People ask me what I get out of this. I don't get paid, all expenses come out of my own pocket, but I've got a fantastic collection of images and it's a lot of fun to do something for my community.
As an artist, I love how each image becomes a story that can stand on it's own. Just look into the eyes of a child staring back at you. They are so proud of their costume!

Some day these images will be published into a coffee table book to help benefit a childrens charity.

Fall Maternity

I just couldn't pass up the fall colors this week in my front yard. I asked 4 brave women it they would pose for me in all their beautiful, pregnant glory, just so that I could satisfy a creative urge.
This "creative urge" that I get (pretty often) is almost as bad as my sweet tooth!
Here's a sampling of the portraits we created.
