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 [...]
Growing Up Near the Water (D329)
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 [...]
CreativeLIVE Photo Shoot Day 3 – On the Water at Lake Union (D328)
There’s nothing like a sunrise photo shoot on the beautiful blue lake waters of Seattle. That’s what we experienced for our third photo shoot at the David duChemin Vision Driven Photography workshop.

Impromptu Seattle Family Photo Shoot (D324)
Left bright and early this morning for my cross country trip to Seattle. Landed this afternoon in beautiful green country with no humidity… fabulous.

My Love/Hate Relationship with Starbucks (D171)
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). Basically it [...]
