(I'll no longer be posting here...please update your records...Thanks!)

I'm featured on the ASMP Seattle Blog this month.  Check it out if you get a chance!

I know, I know, I've fallen so behind on the blog posts.  Can't believe it's already April, mid-April actually.  Time flies.  Well, here's just a tiny sampling of images from Suzabelle's Fall 2012 & Winter 2013 campaign shoot that we shot in March.  (We also did an in-studio lookbook shoot, images to be posted soon...promise).   What can I say?  Working with Suzabelle is always awesome.  Lot's of hard work but we get great shots and have fun doing it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  Thought I would give you an update on our new studio.  (You may know from the facebook page that we picked up the keys early December)  We have been working like crazy in the new space to get it in tip top shape.  Note:  Many years of water stains and who knows what else, is not easy to cover up.  This process has been a great learning experience.  We're still finishing up but thought I'd give you a sneak peek.  More pics are posted on the facebook page.

Special thanks to Lucien for remembering to document this process with photos and letting me share them!

Lucien and I suited up for getting the job done!

In the beginning...

Some of the worst stained areas of the ceiling.

Check it out!  The ceiling, it's white!

Found some of these old Art Walk flyers from the 619 building, including our very first one.  I feel so lucky to have shared space with so many awesome people throughout the years.  And am so appreciative of all the people who came out and joined us for these events.  Lots of memories!

Here's some shots from a fun little shoot I did for La Macon by Shari Noble late summer.  La Macon makes handbags, shoulder bags, wallets and leather accessories.  This was one of the last shoots I did at the 619 building.  Such a great building for interesting backdrops, like the door to the freight elevator, as used in this shoot.

 

 

It's a beautiful fall day here.  I have finally embraced fall.  Now that I have, let's look forward to Spring.  Well actually this was shot late summer for Suzabelle's Spring and Summer 2012 lines.  I am really proud of this shoot.  We had some major challenges and I feel like we totally pulled it off.  We had a lot to shoot that day so we had it really well planned out.  We were to shoot at Greenlake starting early in the morning for the light.  Had all the locations picked out.  Well for some reason that morning the weather didn't cooperate with our plans, at all.  It was an awful looking day.  Rain and just the grayest sky you've ever seen.  What can you do?  Well we found some somewhat covered areas around where we were doing hair and makeup, started shooting and then headed to the lake when the weather started to clear.  We got down to the lake about 4 hours later than expected and just then the sun came out and we had the beautiful sunny day.  We really lucked out.  Everyone really worked hard that day and I couldn't have asked for better people to work with.  Thank you all so much!  There were so many great shots, it was hard to just pick out a few to show you.
