Catherine and Christophe 09.01.2012 Part II

I photographed my coworker and his beautiful lady, Catherine, this past Labor Day weekend - a Masquerade Ball themed wedding! It was gorgeous! Up at Le Soleil Hotel in Vancouver, BC, the brilliant colors, numerous tattoos and exuberant girls made the day super special.

Photo Class with the Tintingers Part II

Here are photos Elizabeth took for our first week's assignment - studying photographic techniques and negative space. I love them!

And here are some of my favorites from Anna and Lisa:

Photo Class with the Tintingers

My second group of students met at my family's place in Kirkland - we met once a week for a few months - above are photos of them during their photo adventures! Future post of them will include the photos they took during our classes.

Family Portraits - McGraths July 2012

Marcia and Ethan Sept. 2012

Took photos in September of my oh-so-serendipitous friend, Marcia and her husband, Ethan. I helped fund a Kickstarter projects for my sister's friend in Columbia, Missouri, which happened to do with teaching photography to kids. The school where this photo class was happening was Marcia's school where she used to teach. BUT they moved to Seattle last year, and when viewing the Kickstarter page she saw my name and comment and wrote to me asking if I'd be interested in incorporating photography into her new school in Seattle (Kapka - see previous posts) and takings some Seattle portraits of her and her husband. And now we're great friends :) And here are their images taken at Gasworks park in the beautiful fall colors this past September.

Greene Family August 2012

I was lucky enough in August, when I was in Montana for my sister's wedding, to visit some good friends, the Greene family, and take some photos of their kids. We had originally planned on a full family portrait session but it was SO hot that night that we just hung out, caught up on life, and I snapped photos of the kiddos while I could. Natalie has gorgeous curly hair and quickly became my buddy, hanging out on my lap on the grass. Connor was about 2 months old in these photos and such a smiley boy. Both kids look so much like Cale it is a little ridiculous :) Golden hour in Montana in the summer lasts forever and with my 50 mm it was perfect for our backyard pictures.
