It’s always a pleasure working with clients over again. I photographed Alayna’s sister a couple years ago and now it’s her turn to graduate. We ventured into different parts of Lincoln Park and then onto Lowman Beach for some fun images. Enjoy this video collage of our shoot.

Love in the sun
I met Kristina when she and her fiancé picked out her engagement ring at Ben Bridge Jewelers in Lynnwood. Once she got her sparkly jewels it was time for the engagement session. We met close to Salty’s on Alki and walked the pier, walked the beach and basically just glowed in the sun! Congratulations you two!
and baby will make four!
I photographed LaDonna and Paul’s wedding several years ago. It’s wonderful to watch their families grow and be called upon to honor their family moments. Here’s little Evan enjoying his last few weeks as an only child…

A blast from the past
Don’t ya just love finding cool stuff? I was very excited when I got the call from the Fauntleroy Children’s Center saying they had uncovered a chalkboard from 1939 behind some walls they were tearing down. I ran up there and was just delighted at what I saw. I could just imagine a room full of little kids taking part in their lesson. In fact, I wonder who Don Joseph and Larry are? I understand that one never wanted to find their name on this list….hmmmmm.

Route 66: Oatman – Kingman – Seligman
Vintage peeks along the original “Mother Road”

As a photographic artist I am always looking for new and exiciting ways to present the world around us. I took a little road trip of my own and followed the Mother Road thru Oatman, Kingman and Seligman with my Lensbaby. What is a lensbaby? It’s a lens monuted on a plastic bellows. You manually focus by pushing, pulling and bending until you find a part of your image that will be in focus, called the ‘sweet spot’. The remaining areas of the image are soft and blurred, creating unique, eye-catching images.
Generations old and new will always be in awe of Route 66 which lead travelers over 2,448 miles of continuous highway between Chicago and Los Angeles. For decades, this historic path served thousands who were migrating west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s. I hope you enjoy the images presented at the Kenney and that you’ll feel as though you travelled that road as well.

The Taste of West Seattle is an annual benefit for the West Seattle Helpline. Started in 1989 the organization provides emergency assistance to neighbors in need. This particular event provided a great opportunity for some 400 ‘neighbors’ to sample the best fare from West Seattle Restaurants and caterers.
