Shooting Everyday?

How do you make someone look frustrated?
Tell them everything they are doing is wrong. It worked!

Well, it's been a crazy few months since the Wedding Season ended. It's also been good thinking about Hallmark Institute of Photography and all the things I was doing this time last year.

It was great shooting summer weddings here in Bellingham, WA. It's been great shooting in the Fall and Winter as well!

Just on December 1st we had our FIRST snowfall of the winter. I got the most romantic shot with Mike and Nancy at their Wedding at the Beautiful Semiahmoo Resort.

I've also been busy shooting some Northwest commercial photography. Food and drinks, as well as products, architecture and some interior design stuff. All very exciting. Some of this is for Northwest Business Monthly and others are for the Best Western Lakeway Inn. I'd love to show it all, but here are a few!

Also, lots of portraits. Location Portraits. Now, here is some fun!
One thing to note...these were all done within either 3-5 shots. I use portable speed lights. They only took about 10 minutes! Talk about pressure.

All in all it has been quite a busy time of year. Best of luck to all current Hallmark Students and I hope all Hallmark Alumni are shooting it up!

Northwest Wedding Photography - Always Fun!

Keeping things fun and colorful!

Every time I'm on a shoot...that moment comes when my style and 'flow' mesh perfectly together and thats when these amazing images are created.

Thank you to my amazing clients.
You really let me be myself and allow me to be a part of your special day.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful personalities with me!
Your what makes my job so special...the reason I love what I do!

It's been a great couple of months. A real fun and successful leaping start from the gates.

I've been shooting weddings, engagements, editorial and business portraits.

I've also got some big shooting jobs ahead of me.
A hotel in town will have me shooting food, architecture, interior, environmental portraits and business portraits.
I've got a couple more weddings still ahead in the next month and a couple on-location pet portraits to shoot.

It's been great working here!
I wanted to share these select few...
