Went into the studio a couple weeks ago to do some lighting tests.  Ok, ok, honestly I just wanted a cupcake...

Last Friday I worked on an awesome shoot for Suzabelle clothing for their upcoming Autumn/Winter 2010 line.  Been editing all weekend and am so pleased with the shoot.   Suzanne and I have had this shoot in the works for months.  We had the location for 6 hours to shoot 15 outfits.  Wow, quite a day!  Never underestimate the power of good planning and a great team! We had Suzanne Jaberg with Suzabelle, our lovely model Maja Hansen (model mayhem #1510201), makeup artist Sara Kendall of skartistry, and my great assistant Dan Thornton.  Here's some behind the scenes shots (courtesy of Dan Thornton).  Can't wait to show you all the final images.

Saturday was a gorgeous day.  Decided to take the camera out with me around the 'hood while I ran some errands.  

Check out my show at the Caffe Vita Seward Park location.  The images will be up through April 30th, 2010.

Here are some shots from a shoot I did towards the end of 2009.  I had the pleasure of photographing some of the firefighters at Eastside Fire and Rescue Station 71.  One of the Lieutenant's had hired me to take a portrait of him and the guys for a holiday gift.  I had never been to a fire station before so it sounded like fun to me and it was.  I was like a kid in a candy store.  There were so many pictures to take.  They let me just wander around and snap a few shots around the station after the portrait.  I was really moved by the pride they showed for their job and their house.  I can't imagine doing what they do.  I am in awe and have so much respect for them.  I was offered a ride along some time and I can't wait to take them up on it.

Ok, I have officially fallen behind in my posting habits.  I know, I know. But, I'm getting back on track and have so much to share.  The last couple months of the year were full of shows and fun shoots of families, guitars, and firefighters.  I will be playing catch up with my posts for awhile.  So in the meantime, here are some shots from my recent trip to Sayulita, Mexico!  And I promise, more frequent posts from now on...
