A Day in the Life of Alex

Alex at 2 yrs old

Portland, OR

Alex's parents wanted to document Alex doing the things he loves at this stage of his young life.  So, they told him he could do whatever he wanted and then we followed him around the house and yard with our cameras. Alex has many favorite activities and makes a wonderful range of facial expressions while doing them. This photo shoot kept us on our toes, and we loved every minute of it!

San Juan Island!!

The Island Inn at 123 West Street
Friday Harbor, WA

Our recent trip to San Juan Island was a photo shoot and vacation all in one. Our charge was to photograph the Island Inn, a gorgeous property in Friday Harbor offering both hotel and vacation-rental accommodations.

Built into a hillside, the hotel faces the San Juan Channel, the harbor, and neighboring Shaw and Lopez Islands. The views were simply breathtaking! The Inn itself was luxurious, contemporary and comfortable. Our hotel room included two-stories. On the first floor - a living room with fireplace, dining room, bathroom and full-size kitchen. On the upper floor - large bedroom (with a bed that felt like a cloud), bathroom with steam shower, and a large deck that overlooked the harbor. Did I mention the views!!! If you ever get out to Friday Harbor, look into the Island Inn at 123 West. You won't be disappointed!

Wakelea's 1st Birthday!

We had the sincere joy of photographing Wakelea's 1st birthday last Sunday and celebrating her year on earth with young friends, family, and cupcakes.  Her parents, CJ and Sarah, pulled out all the stops and created a beautiful party that was fun for both kids and parents alike - with Wakelea's cake-eating extravaganza being the highlight of the day's event.  Thank you CJ and Sarah for letting us be involved in the first of many celebrations in Wakelea's life!  

The Blanks

The New York landscape offers a great backdrop for documentary-style images - and the photos of the Blanks are some of our favorite family portraits.  The twin girls were a joy to work with and the warm summer day made it a perfect setting for a play date in the park.  Thank you Blanks for your inspired city-scape portraits!
