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.

American Motorcyclist Magazine - Portrait With Motorcycle at Golden Gardens

I love getting new and different opportunities to create images that are outside of what I normally do. This is the second time that I’ve gotten to do a portrait session for American Motorcyclist, which is the magazine of the American Motorcyclist Association. Tom Mehran is a local guy that runs a couple of online publications including Sound Rider that contributed an article for the magazine. I was very happy with what we came up with. I met Tom down at Golden Gardens a little before sunset, set up some lights (I love my radiopoppers!), and created some dramatic sunset portraits. Very fun!

I received my copies of American Motorcyclist. Here is how they used the images I took for them. Very cool. Don’t worry mom, I’m sending you a copy! :)

American Motorcycle Association

The American Motorcycle Association hired me to do some portraits of Jim and his friend Toby with their motorcycles for their nation-wide magazine. They are both war veterans working in and with helicopters. We met in Everett and made these!

This is the image I wanted to create for the magazine.  Something with Jim looking cool on his motorcycle.

My Dad rode a Harley like this (with a different paint job) both when I was a kid and again when I was in high school.
