Pointe shoes, rain, slippery moss covered logs…I swear I didn’t break her 😉
Dancing in the Rain
A few more from shooting in the rain with Mari. I wanted to do something a little more fairy tale haunting with these, while showing her strength.
Rainy Day Dance
This is Mari. I met her on instagram, and we decided to set up a shoot in Carkeek Park. Of course, this being the Pacific Northwest, it poured. Didn’t stop us! We played in the rain and mud, while I awkwardly cradled an umbrella to protect the camera. She’s done ballet for a long time, and is now training to be an aerialist!
Ok, one more silly one!
Side by Side
Succulents from my mothers garden…sometimes I don’t want to choose between color and black and white!
Just Dance
It’s Ashleigh’s birthday today, and she posted this shot we did…this was when I said forget the camera, and just dance. Definitely one of my all time favorite moments during a shoot, even though I forgot to click the shutter half the time because I was enjoying it so much…
Can It Be Spring Yet?
Happy New Year!
Happy 2017, everyone!
This ivy is creeping slowly up my moms backyard fence. If you’ve been here awhile, you may remember I love ivy. Going to keep climbing and growing with my photos. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see?
I’m going to be shooting with more film this year. I do love the turnaround time that digital offers, but I miss that luscious grain and tone that film provides. Onward!

This model, Alysa, showed up to our shoot armed with goodies from Vecona, including this amazing striped dress, complete with bustle.

Group Shoot Results
I held my first group shoot last Sunday, and it was FUN. I decided to do this as a response to the negativity many have experienced in 2016, and give people a boost.
By some miracle, the sun decided to appear, almost oppressively. We had a small, but very positive turnout with plenty of variety. These brave souls braved the cold at Gasworks Park and have allowed me to share these with you. Thanks all!
Speaking of permission to share images, something I encounter a lot is people feeling nervous that their pictures will end up where they don’t want them. Bottom line is, if people don’t want me to share their pictures, I won’t. As much as I’d love to show you the pictures of my niece from that day, she drew a boundary about being posted on the internet, and I respect that.
Might do this again in spring, when the cherry blossoms are out!
