Real photographic coverage of your social or corporate event.
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.
I helped sponsor this year’s “Monster Dash”. It was a great day for a 5K. Over 200 participants came to Lincoln Park, most in costume, to dash through the park. Those able to run or walk started the 5k about 9am followed by the Little Monsters Dash! What a sight…they ran their little hearts out!

It was a beautifully overcast day at the waters edge. Perfect for family photos. Don’t ya just love the cute skirts on the girls!
Jordan was pretty laid back as we wandered thru the park for his senior session. We swung by the baseball field and got some nice shots there before hitting the trail and seeking out unusual spots. To top off the shoot mom spotted an eagle guarding her nest. It was a great day for a shoot!
I was tickled when my dear client Jan called and asked if I could give some photography pointers to her group of friends. We met up at Endolyne Joe’s for a nice lunch and then headed over to Lincoln Park. Everyone brought their camera of choice: from iphones to ipads, from point and shoot to DSLR. We talked about the all the dials on the camera and how they could be used to improve their photos. The beautiful flowers caught everyone’s attention so we experimented with those selecting our close up dials and wow – they got some nice images! Of course we had to head down to the water as well. Here’a nice little group shot of the ‘ladies of Boeing’….
Carrie will graduate from Holy Names. We met up at Lincoln Park. She spent much of her childhood playing on the slides and swings so she was right at home. Her easy going smile made for some great shots. Mother nature provided soft overhead light and gentle breezes.
I met Natalia and Carson at the water in Lincoln Park for our photo shoot. Carson was more interested in scouring the stones for jellyfish and such so I got plenty of interaction shots of brother and sister. Natalia was willing to ‘pose on command’ and showed off her cute smile. I managed to catch fleeting smiles of Carson on the run. Mom felt glad that we got this session done in time for the holidays….yes the holidays! Can you say ‘christmas cards!’.
I’m not sure which is more challenging: kids under two or kids over 20. Either way I certainly enjoy capturing the family dynamic no matter what the ages involved. Jim and Maudie live in Port Townsend so naturally anything close to the water and ferry dock is a must. They were joined by their two grown children Kathy and Mike plus the better halves. Grandkids Matt and Natalie were home from college so we had the whole family. We covered the park from bottom to top and I think we got just about every combination possible. I know they’ll enjoy these images for a long, long time.
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.
