Gretchen called and said it was not only time for her daughter’s senior photos but maybe time for a family photo as well. Again, we beat the storm and finished up our session at Lincoln Park shortly before the rains came. The light was perfect for our late afternoon session.

Fightin Nick
Nick is an interesting character. He goes to West Seattle High where he participates in wrestling. He didn’t bring his fightin’ gear; instead he was dressed very casually. We stuck close to the studio and did some portraits inside and then headed outdoors. The cool grey and black walls made for interesting photos. This cool cat will work toward a nursing degree.
Zoe loves her sports
Zoe came in for her senior photos the other day. Mom ‘thought’ a studio session was in order but once I took a look at Zoe’s wardrobe and found out more about her outside seemed the place to go. We did capture a few images in studio which are nice but the ones of her with her basketball seemed to come alive. There’s a rarely used hoop just outside my door and I decided to have her shoot a few. Then we headed down to the park and water for some softer compositions.
Vashon Senior
Christopher caught the ferry to the Fauntleroy dock and headed on over to the studio. We went with ‘plan B’ and hung out in the alley after seeing his clothing choices. Mom was tickled to death when she arrive and found him in jeans, striped shirt and red tie and green sneakers! What a combo but it worked well for his senior moment!
Seattle Great Wheel
The Seattle Great Wheel is a sight to see especially when the light show begins. I watched for close to an hour and was never disappointed. With the demise of the Alaskan Way Viaduct just around the corner this big wheel should be able to draw big crowds to the waterfront over the years. Next time I go, I think I’ll take a spin!
Last look at Alki
The Barnett family decided that since they were moving to Boston it was time to have that family photo taken on Alki. So, after packing all day long they headed to the shores of Alki for one last play date with the kids. I was happy to join them and must say we got some great images that will last a lifetime! We traversed the shoreline with the only mishap being, I got stung by a bee!
How many Pierogi can you eat?
This year’s Pierogi Festival was a first of it’s kind for Dom Polski. Dancing, singing and eating took to the streets as the parking lot was turned into a staging area for wonderful performances by the Polonez dance troupe from Vancouver BC; Seattle’s own Polish Choir – Vivat Musica and Mlodzi Polanie youth group; plus White Eagle folk group from Victoria BC. This year there was all you could eat Pierogi plus potato pancakes (my favorite!), stuffed cabbage, kielbasa and bigos. Guests could dine in the polish hall or sit outside and listen and dance to the fine entertainment. For those who worked up a thirst the Beer Garden was a major attraction. The weather was just perfect for this wonderful Polish cultural event. To view all the images just click here.

Family fun with the Allen’s
As a photographic artist my job is to keep my eyes open and capture moments. That is exactly what happened with the Allen family. You can’t always tell small children to sit and smile so my aim was to watch and snap! I think we got some lovely images that capture the family dynamics. Book your family session now for holiday gift giving!
