I had a great time with Stephanie and Kalani at Pike Place Market. We met just before sunset and did some night portraits.
Stephanie and Kalani’s band portrait. I used two flashes (one directed at each of them) for this one.

Stephanie & Kalani | Engagement Portraits at Pike Place Market!
Thursday, December 8th, 2011Debbie & Philip | Engagement Portraits at Pike Place Market!
Monday, November 14th, 2011Debbie and Philip met me down at Pike Place Market for some engagement portraits. I had a great time with them and we found some locations by the market that I hadn’t been to before. Very cool!
I took this pair of portraits as Debbie and Philip looked at each other.
For this one, I used a flash to overpower the ambient light on a loading dock.
Rachel & Mike | Engagement Portraits at Golden Gardens in Seattle!
Friday, September 23rd, 2011Rachel and Mike are getting married tomorrow in Minnesota. They already had a wedding photographer lined up, but they wanted some portraits taken in their new home of Seattle before the wedding. I met them at Golden Gardens and here are the images!
I just liked the way these stairs in the woods looked.
Elizabeth & Steven–Engagement Portraits at Volunteer Park and Conservatory!
Thursday, June 30th, 2011Elizabeth and Steven are great. I love the way they laugh together. Steven proposed at the Conservatory at Volunteer Park, so it seemed like the natural place for the engagement portraits. Some people just make things more fun. Elizabeth and Steven are like that!
This is one of my favorite photographs of the day. I love the way the are laughing and happy with each other!
Diana & Brad | Engagement Portraits at Washington Park Arboretum!
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011I met Diana and Brad down at the Arboretum at Washington Park in Seattle for their engagement portraits. The area there is absolutely awesome for portraits. Lots of variety, beautiful vistas, interesting relationships between the foreground and the background. It may be a new favorite spot for portraits for me. Also, I brought my wonderfully talented daughter along with me. She created one of my favorite images of the day. I’m very proud!
This image was taken by my incredibly talented daughter, Alyssa Parris. She has a grasp on composition that many photographers twice her age would happy to have. I’m a little proud!
This last image of Diana and Brad walking through the forest reminds me of one of my favorite images of all time, Eugene W. Smith’s “The Walk to Paradise Garden”. You can see EWS’ fantastic image from 1918 on Sotheby’s website.
