First Spring Road Trip

With the lovely weather the last few days it was time for a road trip. I took my mom and sister on a short trip down Highway 167 toward Sumner where we stopped and shopped the cute antique stores. Next stop was the Mt. Rainier Winery which boasted lovely fruit wines and a fantastic view of the mountain! An hour and a half later we were off again – next stop Elbe for lunch. Final stop was the tulip farm in Mossyrock. A sweet little farm with a small field of tulips, sunny garden walk and gift shop.

The Great Gatsby Photo Op

What a pleasure photographing the Hope Lutheran School Annual Auction. The theme was based on the Great Gatsby and with some green screen magic I placed them in the heart of Chicago’s roaring 20s.  The guests did some wild bidding on terrific auction items while dining. Congratulations on a successful event! Guests can view all the images by clicking here.
