Little Green Eyes

Just a couple lights and a paper backdrop, add a very talented hair and makeup artist, a model and you have yourself a little photo shoot. This shoot is a bit of a departure from my usual style but it’s also nice to step outside the lines sometimes and play with something uncomfortable. Collaboration is what’s inspiring me recently. I don’t have much energy to create out of thin air the last year, so getting the juices flowing with others has been helpful to keep my photo engine running.

I love collaborating with - more to come!

How could I forget to share this shoot I did with last summer?! She was pregnant with beautiful twin girls at the time. Now they are earth side and rockin and rollin with their very cool, very kind, very talented parents. We were able to fit this in on a July visit up to Portland. Megan took the train down from Seattle, I rented a pool, we smashed in a quick lunch afterwards and that’s how magic is made!

It’s always an honor to get to capture these benchmark moments in people’s lives. My deepest desire from my photos is that I leave you with something to cherish, a small time machine wrapped in memories of that moment.

I have 5 pieces on display and for sale alongside some of our local talented makers and artists.

I wish I could be there but I’ll be in Vermont assuming auntie duties helping usher my chosen sister’s new bb into this world.

If you’re in the foothills, swing by and check out the amazing framing done by using wood harvested from Nevada City and milled on my dads lands. Seeing these photos on a little phone is cool but seeing them printed in 20x30 form is where it’s at!

A very special addition jumped in the pool at the end of this maternity shoot. It’s not an easy task to capture a whole family underwater, mild chaos sometimes. But tender, sweet photos like this are definitely possible when we take the time to slow down and make it about play.

Everything underwater takes time and finesse. It’s all about figuring out where the subject is most comfortable and where they can push themselves.

As time goes on, I watch peoples abilities start to unfold. I watch them unwind and relax into the process. We find our rhythm together.

A couple months ago I invested in some new underwater education and flew down to Long Beach to take underwater workshop.

He set up lighting and brought in experienced underwater models and alakazam - I give you this image as a result.

It was super cool to gain extra understanding about working underwater and how to create certain looks. Also was so great to finally meet Brett in person and pick his brain.
