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.

Rob at Medio - Executive Portraits in Seattle!

Filed under Executive, portrait Tags: , , — • Written by Cory @ 10:04 am

Rob is the CEO at Medio, a company that works with cell phone companies. If you have internet on your phone, you have probably seen their work, but it probably said “Verizon” or another provider on it! He needed some images for his media kit, and I photographed Brian’s (Chairman & CTO) wedding last year. Here are some of my favorites. There will be more coming this week!

I liked the angle and branding on this image

Lori D - Senior Portraits in Bothell!

I met Lori at North Creek Park the north end of Bothell. We had to delay her senior portraits because of knee surgery - no one wants a leg brace in their portrait session! So we ended up shooting on a beautiful, cold day in December. Lori was a trooper, though and didn’t even flinch when I told her to sit on a patch of ice!

April’s Family - Portraits in Everett!

April is an aspiring photographer and she chose me to photograph her family! It is always an honor when photographers and aspiring photographers have me photograph them and their family. I had a great time photographing April and her crew of boys!

We returned to one of my favorite alleys for some of the images.

Filed under gasworks park, kids and families, portrait • Written by Cory @ 11:13 am

I photographed Ben & Sarah’s wedding a few years ago. They are a great couple and I was thrilled when they called to have me do some baby and family portraits. We met at Gasworks and dodged the rain showers to take some family portraits.
