Welcome!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Seattle. I create emotional photostories.
I love photography. I love all the technical aspects of f-stops, shutter speeds, megapixels, photoshop, and lighting. I love the art of photography in the composition, angles, bokeh, point of view, and the way the technical changes the art. More than even the art, I love the expressions and emotions that people portray in their face, body language, and hand positions. Along the way, I’ve met a lot of great people, gotten to photograph some pretty cool things, and had a lot of fun. I am very happy to have chosen a career in photography. I also have an amazing wife, Leslie, and three fantastic children. Life is good. You can also find recent posts about me below on my blog, on my portfolio site, or look me up on facebook. |
ISPWP Winning Images!
The ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) is a very cool organization. They only let in the best photographers, require you to have photographed 50 weddings as the primary photographer, and you have to get past the membership committee as they scrutinize your work for quality. I liked the idea of the ISPWP so much that I joined and volunteered to be a member of the membership committee. Then they had a contest and I entered nine images and eight of them placed!
I think the critique of this image is funny. I thought it was cool that you could see the Space Needle on the left and I purposely shot the image so the Space Needle would be visible!
I was very happy to place in this category as I figured it would have the most entries and the most outstanding images.
My kids!
Here is one of my favorites of my own kids from our holiday portrait session this year. I will making myself a large canvas from this image and a book of the images.
Anna’s Senior Portraits!
I met Anna and her mom, Melissa, down at the Olympic Sculpture Park for her senior portraits.
One of the great things about photography is getting to know people. I met Steve Gehrig about four years ago when he officiated Jurgen & Kendra’s wedding. Then I photographed Steve’s daugther, Christy when she married Brian. Then I photographed Steve and Melissa’s wedding. Anna is Melissa’s daughter. See how that works. I also photographed Christy’s best friend, Jayme when she married Matt this last summer. Jayme and Christy also know Gwynna and Eric, who know Kate and Jon, as well as Karen and her husband Joe, all of whom were married this year. Cool!
And now for the photos and the end of my written drivel!
The Large Family
We went to Kelsey Creek Park in Bellevue last week and created some portraits of Missy, Kent and their beautiful boys!
