I am frugal person, so I totally get the sticker shock reaction to wedding photography prices. Now that I am on the other side of the business, I understand photography pricing better, and I would like to shed some light on the subject. While this won’t apply to every single photographer out there, it will apply…

New year, new photo project!
Okay, so this might only be interesting to my fellow photographers as it’s a photography magazine, but I still think it’s pretty cool! Recently, SnapKnot, a great wedding photography directory, asked me and some other photographers to submit a write up about how we use social media for marketing. I jumped at the chance when I…

I wouldn’t call them anything like a personal project, but simply taking advantage of nice photo opportunities. My favorite photography is unplanned. Of course, with these particular shots, the moments weren’t…
Last weekend I did an engagement shoot with Samantha and Josh. They seemed pretty happy with the location that I suggested despite the Mother’s Day/ first warm and sunny Seattle weekend that we’ve had in awhile. I chose the Arboretum because it’s not only gorgeous, but there are lots of nice little areas that you…
I’ve been spending large chunks of time editing pictures from my last wedding at my dad’s house (which is not close by). If I haven’t already mentioned this, he’s a talented illustrator, graphic designer, painter, and author, so his computer is REAL nice! So, I prefer using it to my older powerbook when editing so…
