On rare occassion, my friends and I will travel to a random (yet somewhat close) location in search of adventure. Gabbs, who I’ve been close friends with for some time now, has somehow escaped my camera. During this adventure, she wasn’t so lucky.
And one more in honor of Halloween…

The Allwines are among some of my favorite people. Mr. Allwine, an IT.marketing guru and amateur photographer, and Mrs. Allwine, a widely successful copywriter, you can imagine that they had a vision for their “fall family photos.” Leading in to the shoot, we rescheduled twice in order to allow for the leaves to fully show the signs of fall. With slight color adjustments made in post production, I think we landed a look of early fall.
Their aren’t any little Allwines… yet, but the couple was sure to bring their two dogs. Having to also direct animals was a bit of a challenge. However it made it so much more satisfying when a shot actually turned out well. The dogs also made for some comedic relief at times (like the last shot in this series). Take a look and, as always, let me know what you think!

Last Saturday, the Pyramid Ale House hosted a huge party in their back lot in Seattle to release their season brew “Snow Cap.” Entertainment for the night was provided by Rocky Votolato (check out his song “White Daisies Passing”), and the emerging northwest rock group Minus the Bear (get the joke in the headline now?). The evening was a blast, and there had to have been close to 2,000 people there. Over the course of the night, I think I have photos of most of them… at varying states of sobriety.
I was able to capture several groups and goings on throughout the night, but I will keep this post to just my favorites. If you’re interested in seeing them all, you can navigate to the Pyramid Brewery Flickr page.
What do you think?

I know I haven’t updated the blog in a few days. I’ve been preparing for my first photo showing, happening this Friday. It’s a bit nerve racking, but I’m definitely excited. I’m also receiving a lot of photo work lately, so I’m swimming in RAW photos waiting for the magic touch of post-production, which means there’s a lot more where this came from.
With that I submit to you, a sneak preview of my shoot at the Pyramid Brewery’s “Snowed In” event.
Stay tuned for the results of these shoots, and if you find yourself in Seattle on Friday and looking for something to do in the early evening, let me know!
