A Colorful Room

I always love working on location!  Especially when the location is a gorgeous bedroom with the most amazing wall paper I've ever seen!

The 12th Man

Last year, I spent Super Bowl Sunday out photographing The 12th Man with my friend Christina.  I thought today would be a good day to share the photos!  Go Hawks!! 265783All images captured on a Contax 645 with Portra 400 and Fuji Acros 100 film.

My Five Favorite Spots for Fall Family Photos!

Every year this time, emails start to pour in from families ready to book their fall sessions.  And in every single email, I'm asked what my favorite spots to shoot in are.  So this year, I thought I'd help you all out, and put together a list! Here we go... my five favorite spots for Fall family photos!

1: The Ballard Locks!  Gorgeous trees and paved (non-muddy) paths make this my number one favorite spot for fall photos!

33b6dfe9-f57b-4f0b-a28f-dde4e648a238 2: Golden Gardens.  I'm just a sucker for tall beach grass!  Love it!  

ccaaf33b-018c-4a91-9d95-975f027b2ce2 3: The Olympic Sculpture Park. This location has so much variety! A great indoor space if the weather turns bad, cool picturesque art everywhere, and plenty of pretty trees and waters views!

054660cb-200d-4f7f-a631-542bce27211b 4: Gasworks Park: Want classic Seattle city views?  This is your spot!  And the old Gasworks make for a really cool backdrop as well.  But be warned... it can get super windy!!! b9421dba-8c64-4e60-9973-66e35acb7b50 5: Last but not at all least, my studio.  Truth: Seattle weather is unpredictable. Sometimes its nice just to plan on an indoor space, especially when working with children under one!  And honestly... I LOVE a good classic studio portrait... melts my heart!
