The Quince
In March this year we moved our boat from the north basin to the south basin moorage at the Port of Skagit Marina in LaConner. The south basin is closer to town and close to the Swinomish Yacht Club building. We do not belong to the yacht club, not yacht anyway. The clubhouse, which resembles more of a dentist’s office than some kind of Thurston Howell the Third hang out, is usually rented out on the weekends; most of the parties are mainly quinceaneras, which are the celebration of a…

I have been reluctant to post in my blog because … well… I want to post mostly photographs but when I format them for posting, they get stretched when viewing on phones, which is where most people will be viewing these days. I’ve set aside posting for a few weeks and then when I finally think to get back to it I of course forget that the problem is the photographs stretching out on the iphone and I happily put some pictures up and then when I go to show…

Real Estate and Interior Shots
There are many situations that call for interior photography. Real estate sales, remodeling examples, room organization, kitchen demonstrations, interior design work. One of the most frequently seen styles of interior photography is the before and after remodel example. The biggest key to selling a remodel is to make sure you get the “before” shot. That’s the shot that most people forget but that’s the shot that makes the “after” so much more incredible. Over this past weekend, I did a very basic interior shoot to display a makeover of a boat’s salon…

A Stylized Newborn Session
I currently have availability for TWO Newborn sessions between February 20th and March 4th (boy, girl, twins, special needs, all are welcome to apply) – for one of my very special artistically stylized Newborn Sessions. Ideally, your newborn should be no less than 6 days old and not much older than 2 weeks. The sessions can take place in your home, I do bring my lighting kit and two basket props (nest, laundry, egg, etc). The session lasts about 2 hours but if the baby needs extra attention, it may go a little longer. If…

A World Away (but not far at all)
This past weekend, last weekend in January, it wasn’t too cold, mid 40’s and after the epic, “First Week” we were really looking forward to getting out of the city for a couple nights. Mike and I went up to visit Boaty up in LaConner and even though it’s winter and we’re not going to leave the dock, it’s a great little place to go for a two night stay. We brought the terrible twins (the dogs), thankfully the rain held off until Sunday afternoon because wet dogs all weekend would stink. Literally. I washed…

Nutcracker at Evergreen City Ballet
I had the pleasure of being invited to photograph a working rehearsal of Nutcracker for the Evergreen City Ballet in Renton. Friends and family were invited to attend the working rehearsal, a new idea for their program brought to them by their new Executive Director, Julie Tobiason. It was wonderful to see families as friends gathered to watch their children as Artistic Director, Gillmer Duran, worked them through the performance rehearsal. Family and friends can see the effort that brings such delight to the performers and the audience and the commitment of everyone to…
