Melissa and Andrew got married last Saturday

I had the pleasure of photographing Melissa and Andrew this past Saturday and what a great event. Melissa and Andrew choose to see each other before the wedding ceremony at the campus of the Seattle University http://www.seattleu.edu and what a great spot for it. As a photographer there were so many places to work that it was wonderful. If that location was not enough of a treat they had also chosen to be married at Saint James Cathedral http://stjames-cathedral.org/main.htm and that is a WOW location if you’re still looking for a site to marry and are catholic I highly recommend looking at it this location. The wedding coordinator Bev there was a delight to work with and everyone appeared to have a great time.

Autum is my second favorite time of year

I enjoy autumn the most because the cool weather comes back to the area and the leaves start to change. It is a great time of year to enjoy life. I know myself I enjoy putting on my big cozy sweaters and taking walks down the road and listening to the trees. It may sound really funny to say that but I live in a heavily treed area and when the breeze blows the trees it is a very cool sound. It can get your creative mind excited about what it can make. It was just recently discussed with a group of wonderful women I know that as women we were designed to create that it is just a part of who we are. When you take the time to find different ways to inspire us we will want to create. I find that taking the time to enjoy the little moments that have been placed in front of me can be extremely inspiring for me. I hope you will all take some time to enjoy this time of year.

Football Pictures have been released

What an amazing response thank you all for your kind words regarding my football pictures it has been great to hear from so many of you. Just a few bits of business if you want to order a DVD it will be more cost effective for you all to order as a group and once I get a date from Kendra we will start taking orders. So either get in touch with me or with her. I have been able to slow the images down so you will be able to see each image for a longer time. For anyone wanting to see the still images of the game you may view them at

Mason Lake Nuptials

On August 23, 2008 I had the honor of photographing at the Brooke Duggan-Vispond’s family lake home. This home was her Grandmothers residents and though she has past away you feel as if she is right there that day with all her beloved family gathered. Brooke had chosen to have her Grandmothers wedding dress recreated so that she may where it. As you will see it was a beautiful gown. Her husband to be Jason Rothermel seems to enjoy the lake as well by the time we arrived he had already been out on the lake and enjoying some early morning wake boarding (if I have that wrong I am terribly sorry).

I really enjoyed this wedding the from the people to the location to the music which was provided by http://www.lastcall2k.com Chris was a last minute substitute but I really think they got the best. He is has a very current digital library to work with and great personality very fun and easy to work with.

Tanner was very easy going. Has a very natural smile and a great love of baseball hats.

Looking forward to doing some action shots with him this autum baseball season he is a natural when it comes to baseball.

Karrah, Sally and Selina

These girls were a real treat to work with and had great smiles to boot.

Alex Papiez

Had a lot of fun with Alex at his senior session at the park. Is easy going nature was very evident in his smile.

His dog Socks was not as easy to work with his attention was any where but on the camera.
It was a really pleasure to work with Alex and I can't wait to see how his senior album turns out.
