After 5 straight days of official photo shoots and photo walks, I needed something a little less intense. I decided for today's images, I'd just snap a few iPhone images with my head in the clouds. It aptly describes how I felt coming home after an amazing trip to Seattle to attend the David duChemin Vision Driven Photography workshop! Since the images are already low quality with quite a bit … [Read more...]
According to my Mom, the first couple years of my life I spent almost every day by the waters of Greenlake in North Seattle. When I told her I was meeting a friend and going for a walk there during my visit to Seattle, she asked if I'd take a few pictures for her. She hasn't been back there in decades. Of course I complied and took a couple hundred pictures to capture the beauty and serenity of … [Read more...]

Left bright and early this morning for my cross country trip to Seattle. Landed this afternoon in beautiful green country with no humidity... fabulous. Spent the afternoon catching up with a good friend from many years ago. Got to meet her 6-week-old son, Carlos and ended up doing an impromptu photo shoot with her kids right before they headed off to bed. (I use the term photo shoot loosely … [Read more...]
It's not my fault really. It was my senior year in college at the University of Washington and I had an 8 am business writing class. On top of that, I was a single mom and my daughter's daycare was 45 minutes from school. You do the math (because I prefer not to).
