I started 2015 drowning in self-doubt. Really that’s kind of a normal thing for photographers. After a winter/off-season with little shooting we start to doubt ourselves and our abilities. I’ve learned that this is my passion, this is something I just love doing, and as long as I keep that up front I can never […]

My best friend is getting married… But first comes engagement photos. Last week we road tripped our way to Seattle for a weekend away for photos. Loud singing, very off tune by Amanda, lots of laughter, too much take out, and a lot of rain. But we made it to the Seattle WA area hoping […]
