Real photographic coverage of your social or corporate event.
Marco is kinda shy but I think we got some great images as we wandered through Lincoln Park on down to the waters edge. Marco’s a pretty smart guy who enjoys mathematics and engineering. He has joined the track team and field team where he participates in the shot put and discus throw.
I met up with Kelly at the Arboretum at the Community College in West Seattle. What a wonderful place…it was the first time she had ever been there and just loved it… especially the Japanese Garden area…take a look!
Most guys are somewhat anxious about their senior session but Jake breezed right through it. We went in search of the local ‘giraffes’ and industrial look at Jack Block park on Alki. Jake was always one step ahead of me and I think we found what he and mom were after….
Vanessa is a senior at Holy Names. She is a dancer and had a strong vision of what she wanted to accomplish as we moved through Lincoln Park close to sunset. I think you’ll agree she’s a graceful young woman. Here are my favorite images:
It’s been a great weekend for senior portraits; especially outside here in West Seattle. I had the pleasure of working with Katherine, a senior at Chief Sealth High School. We took a walk through Lincoln Park stopping at some of my favorite spots and ended down by the water. Hey, if you are wondering where the Fauntleroy white swans went – they’ve been relocated to Vashon Island and are doing well!
Here are my favorite images of Katherine:
It’s time for senior photos and I was asked to photograph Erin…a sweet redhead who goes to Vashon High School. Somehow she managed to walk through Lincoln Park and down to the water in her red high heels – I guess it is all about the shoes! And she didn’t trip once! Some of my favorite shots were taken on a big rock at the water – I fashioned it after the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen.
Seems like just yesterday that I photographed Katie’s brother but it was four years ago! Now it’s Katie’s turn. Katie and her friend came over on the Vashon Ferry and then we ventured to Lincoln Park in the late afternoon and created some very nice images. Here are my favorites….
I love car shows and this was the granddaddy of them all – Goodguys 29th Pacific Northwest Nationals at Puyallup Fairgrounds. There were hundreds of cars! Throughout the day the vintage cars rolled down ‘main street’ so to speak as we wandered through the event. This show I focused on color, line and shapes. But my favorite was the two guys admiring this old car:
It was a fun evening at the Center when “Elvis” appeared live and onstage! Local talent, Bret Wiggins is a local and national favorite whose shows captivate all who attend. He graciously posed with guests and then sang some all time greats, some hidden treasures and Elvis’ favorite gospel songs. Ladies swooned as they received colorful scarves from the man himself. Dinner was Elvis’ favorite meatloaf, glazed sweet potatoes, collard greens and maple syrup cake with bacon! Delicious…you can view all the images from the evening by clicking here.
My polish heritage is coming alive at the 5th Annual “Polish Festival Seattle” this Saturday, July 9th at Seattle Center from 11am-7pm.
