More Seniors...
Here are a few of my favorites from Alki and Seattle Center.
Mom wanted an image with flowers - and the wind finally worked in our favor this time!
It was a beautiful clear day - just very windy. Megan was such a good sport!
I love the leaves falling in the background...


Here we are at the EMP - I loved how the Hot Pink window complimented his shirt and the side panel reflected. The second picture is one of my favorites - capturing Jeff's great smile!


Seattle Center
Our morning started early at the Seattle Center - it was cold, windy and bright but I think we still were able to capture some great images.

I love the reflection that the EMP structure gives off - the copper reflects a real warmth and I love the halo-like auro it creates behind them.

Natural light is always fun to play with...

Paul & Rona Family at Alki Beach...

Who knew we would have such fantastic weather on Oct. 21st?! What a beautiful backdrop though - great for family pictures.

The beach really was a lot of fun but then I suggested we head over to a little side street that was covered with brightly colored fall leaves. We couldn't resist - we had to get some leaf throwing pictures. The images turned out to be my favorite of the day! I love the sense of fun and movement that comes across in these images. To me - this is what family is all about.







Cobbler's children...
Have you heard the story about the cobbler's children not having any shoes? Well it might as well be the photographer's children! Here are a few that I have taken recently...
Ayden let me play with my new fixed 50mm lens - I LOVE it! Notice the depth of field in this picture is so narrow that although his face is in perfect focus - his ear is not! Fun!
I took Linda out for a bit to take a few new school year images. I asked her Dad to be the client and choose which pictures he wanted. He choose this one because he loves Linda's fun personality. I can't argue with that. I did however really like the one below- her blue eyes are so beautiful and I think this shows the other side of Linda, the reflective, serious side.
Leo posed a bit for me as we were walkling around Seattle Center.
Again -this was with my new 50mm.


Kentridge Homecoming 2006!
Queen Elizabeth Hass

Elizabeth's Mom asked me to come down to the football field and take pictures.
It was a lot of fun and such a bonus to have Elizabeth crowned
the queen!
