The Light
OK, So I missed day two of my 28 days of pictures. Here's what I saw yesterday as I was leaving the house. The light was gorgeous as it shone on the remnants of our snowman. The hat and home made scarf were the last things standing when the snow melted last month.

Another 30 (more like 28) day challenge
So after almost 2 months of not writing anything, I'm finally feeling the urge to start up again and I want to challenge myself...again.
Last year I blogged every day for the month of September. Starting today, I will be posting a new image every day through February.
If may be an image I took that day from a job, it may be an image from my archives, or it might be something I saw as I was going about my day with my family. It will be organic, no rhyme or reason, just because I want to find out what I see on a daily basis when I carry my camera everywhere I go.
I've called today's photo "I'm having a bad day".

Elf Photos
Dec 5th was the arrival of Santa on Vashon Isl and I was doing Elf photos for the community as a toy drive for Toys for Tots.
Being the first year doing this, we got about only 30 kids, and a nice box of toys for donation. A couple of images will be a part of a larger show coupled with my Halloween portraits later in February.

Family Story
This November has been so mild...lots of warmer and drier than usual weather. It's been great for outdoor portraits! So today I took advantage a beautiful day and photographed my friend Aristy and her family on Vashon Island. Aristy owns La Petite Etoile, a fantastic French Immersion pre- school on Vashon where my daughter attends.
We spent an hour walking in the woods and playing on the beach. It was the perfect environment to capture their family story. Much more than just a portrait, these images are about their family, the kids and who they are as a couple.

Frida Kahlo, elfs, & angels, Oh My!
It's been a crazy, busy couple of weeks. I can't believe that Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is breathing down my neck!
On Halloween every year I offer free 30 sec portraits to the Vashon Island community. It started out as a personal art project 4 years ago and is quickly becoming a local tradition. I had one family tell me that they look forward to this every year as this is the only Family Portrait they do. I am thrilled to be a part of their tradition!
That same week I had the pleasure to photograph an aspiring young model named Cory Kennedy. He came to me last month on the recommendation of one of his customers when she told him (and his brother) that they could be models. So, Cory thought he would give it a try.
You tell me...Would you buy jeans, underwear, or hair products from this guy?

Stories
Recently, I photographed Sara and Kevin at the Washington State Arboretum. They were celebrating an important wedding anniversary and wanted to commemorate the event (and their new Hawaiian tans) with a portrait.
After working with them for a while, Sara commented on my easy and relaxed style of shooting and this lead into a discussion about how a portrait isn't always about the faces. A good portrait can tell a story even if it only shows a portion of the subject.
They totally "got me"! I love telling stories with my photography and even though the traditional sense of a portrait is sitting for the camera and smiling, I truly believe that the real story of my subjects isn't always in the face.
Here's Sara and Kevin's story.
