Welcome!

cory-mug-color-smile 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.

Trees - A walk at the Mill Creek Town Center

Filed under Cameras, Cory, Family, For Photogs, Kids Tags: , , — • Written by Cory @ 2:37 pm

I took a walk with my family at the Mill Creek Town Center. We each had a camera and took some images. Here are a couple I took and one by my nine year-old, Kyler. I will add some images from the rest of the family in the next couple of days. I’m helping each of the kids to process their images, so it is taking a little more time for them to get ready.

Ky loves old cars, so he took an image of this old mustang as we walked by

I really liked this leafless tree.

For the photo-oriented, I shot with a 5D and my new 50 1.4 Sigma. I am very impressed with the Sigma 50 1.4. It is much sharper than the Canon 50 1.4 at f-stops more wide open than 2.0. The Canon is pretty good at 2.0 on and it is a toss-up there with a tie or slight edge to the Sigma at every f-stop I have tried. Ky’s were taken with an old point and shoot. He’s nine. :)

New Photo of Me.

Easter with the kids!

We went to an Easter egg hunt with the kids on Saturday in Mill Creek.

The “hunting” was a not exactly difficult!

And they’re off!

Evidently 30 seconds inside a fire truck IS worth a 20 minute wait! I must have forgotten.

Riley, avoiding the camera. Or trying because Dad is sneaky and good at catching him!

The bounce house is a source of four-year-old joy!

The love of my life, the amazing and gorgeous Leslie Parris. She makes everything in my life better and sweeter! The sweeter thing is true in two ways because she likes to bake!

I don’t remember getting cash on Easter when I was a kid. Leslie’s parents always fill the plastic eggs with change and bills, however. A few years ago they were losing the candy-filled eggs. The squirrels near their house would take the eggs up the tree, open them, remove the candy and throw down the shells. Smart little guys. Asking for a refill never hurts, either.

Time to relax.

Less of a geek than I thought!
