Here’s Heather in the very last shoot I did in apt 1003, where I grew up. I miss those big windows like no ones business! It’s a slightly melancholy image which fits precisely what I was feeling that month. It was a time of reflection and saying goodbye.
Occasionally an artist will ask me to use one of my photos as a reference for a painting they want to do. It can be fun for me to see! Here’s a watercolor…you can check out more of his work on instagram @jacknapier83.
Mari, again, in Carkeek Park, Seattle. I wanted to show something with a balance of power and grace, so this is what I went with…
It was my husbands birthday last Monday, and when we saw the snow, we knew we had to get out to Saint Edwards State Park and go for a hike. After growing up on the East Coast, I didn’t think I’d want much to do with snow, but it doesn’t last long here. You get that beautiful first snowfall, and you better catch it while you can. This was a beautiful walk. It was so quiet. I love that about snow…silence, delicious air, and unmarked trails. And I love even more that I no longer have to shovel it.
Pointe shoes, rain, slippery moss covered logs…I swear I didn’t break her 😉
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.
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!
Succulents from my mothers garden…sometimes I don’t want to choose between color and black and white!
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…
