  1. Melissa and Dave’s Seattle Canlis Wedding

    2016-07-29 20:00:00 UTC

    I got my feet wet in photography shooting weddings in the UK and for several years they made up 80% of my business. Nearly every weekend was spent traveling to some part of England or Scotland I’d never been to, and it was a great way for me to get…

    Shooting with Sedona at sunrise near one of Bellevue’s best-kept secret lakes. Have you ever found someone to work with through Instagram? I hadn’t but this shoot changed things. First, let me back up - in a resolution to get in shape, I started running four miles every day last…

    2015-09-30 17:55:00 UTC

    I really can’t say enough good things about our last vintage fashion shoot.  It was one of those times where all the details came together and it was a completely smooth experience.  I often try to prepare myself for a few things going wrong so if they do, I don’t…

    This bit of press happened awhile ago but I’ve been so busy with editing and shoots that I’m late with the news.  Los Angeles-based writer, Jason Torchinsky, put together this article on Jalopnik, a popular car enthusiast website, detailing The Vintage Bus Project.  As the article discusses, we did end…

    I knew the first shoot went too well.  Everyone was professional, friendly and on time.  It set up my expectations for smooth sailing from there on out, but now I know better.  Don’t get me wrong, this 1940’s inspired shoot ended up great.  But I almost had a nervous breakdown…
