Last week I had the opportunity to shoot with a family in Tacoma. It was a overcast day raining on & off…by far the most difficult shoot I have ever done on my own. I was really wishing my buddy Adam was with me coaching. Luckily I had a really fun group to be with. They were fun to interact with and even more fun to photograph. I’m really glad I had the opportunity to share my gifts with them, and I hope that they will enjoy these photographs.

It was a lot of fun to shoot the event for this amazing organization. Please check them out they’re always looking for more mentors and donations to continue their necessary work in the community.

Gin Blossoms meets Saved by the Bell meets a bunch of goofball kids!!!
•June 4, 2009 • Leave a CommentThe title says enough. They caught me at the right time at church to get me to snap a few shots for their 90′s themed camp. Influenced by my favorite band the Gin Blossoms I had a little fun editing these photos to have the same sort of tone I found in most of their photos. I hope they enjoy them!
Why I Love My Job
•May 9, 2009 • 1 CommentSo this week i have the opportunity to play around with a 70-200 f/4.o USM IS lens. It’s half the weight of it’s brother F/1.2, but the pictures are SO SHARP. This is definitely going to be my next lens purchase.
These are some pictures from my full-time job. My staff and some of the students in the program were jumping around outside in the wonderful sunny weather. These pictures speak volumes as to why I love my job. I’m very excited to post these photos.
Sunset
•April 21, 2009 • Leave a CommentI realize it’s been a long while since my last post and so I thought i’d post a few shots from today at Grandview. I played some Ultimate with my small group guys down there today….my team lost by 1…oh well. We were also down a guy we did pretty well considering…
I have a special thanks to the couple that allowed me to take a few shots of them !
