Urban Style | Seattle Headshot Photographer

During a break in the RAIN that has relentlessly hounded us into early summer, I had a very fun session downtown with the lovely LE.  Being the fantastic jazz vocalist that she is, we set out to capture some fun, urban images of her for headshots and publicity photos.

LE, thank you for letting me lead you around the city for the morning!  Here are a few favorites from our session.

 

 

 

Confidence Workshop | Day 2

The second day of the Confidence workshop resulted in a lot of "a-ha" moments for me.  The moment when new knowledge finally clicks into place for real, and you know you're going to be able to call on that information right when you need it, forevermore - that's what I wanted from this weekend. 

I also came away feeling, well, confident, that I'm on the right track here, and I'm not wasting my time.  After so many years of doing a job that was just a job, and brought zero joy to my life, I am truly excited to be on this new path, building a career that I love!

Anyway, thanks for listening!  Now to the fun part - here are some of the images I got from our families and seniors shoot.  We went over to the UW Tacoma campus for the shoot.  Amazing place!  It was like getting a dozen different locations in one, that you would never suspect were all within view of each other. 

Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend!

Confidence Workshop | Day 1

As I recently mentioned, I was lucky enough to get to attend Me Ra Koh's Confidence Workshop last month, and it was a fantastic experience! Two days of intense learning and hands on training - heaven! Me Ra and her husband Brian provided a wonderful environment in which to listen, learn, ask questions, try new things, and discover things about myself as a photographer. And I want to thank them both SO much!

Day one included a moms & babies photo shoot, right in the lobby of the Hotel Murano where the conference was held. Here are some of the shots that I was able to get:

That's it for now, but stay tuned for a summary of day two of the workshop!

M's Senior Photos, Part 1 | Seattle Senior Photographer

Something that will most likely never get easier about being a photographer in the Northwest? Predicting the weather. We had great plans for M's senior photo session last week - a week of beautiful weather, I might add, even up to the hour before our scheduled afternoon together. But alas, for once, the forecasters got it right, and the sunny, blue sky completely clouded over, and the rain and wind arrived, literally as I was driving into town to meet M.

Nevertheless, we were able to dodge a few raindrops to have a mini-session that day - hence the "Part 1" in the title of this post. More to follow, I'm sure we'll see the sun again soon, right? Right?

Coming soon, I'll be posting photos from my awesome workshop last weekend!

Darling Baby F | Seattle Newborn Photographer

Oh, I so enjoyed meeting Miss F for the first time, she was sooo tiny and smelled sooo good! She was 11 days old when I photographed her, and was such a happy baby, as long as you weren't changing her diaper... We didn't have a lot of time together, but that just means we'll do it again soon, I hope! Here are several of my favorites...

I've really been enjoying these newborn sessions, so if you know any expectant mommies, please send them a link to my blog or suggest my Facebook page to them! 

And now for a few days of blog silence as I head off to MeRa Koh's CONFIDENCE Workshop.  I'm so excited to be attending this workshop, and hope to be back after the weekend with tons of new ideas and skills!
