Prints & Things

For a while now, I’ve been wanting to offer some of my photos for print. Society6 has made it incredibly easy for me to do so while supporting an artistic community, thus, I’ve launched a small gallery with prints for purchase. I’ve also taken the time to get some of my favorite film photos re-scanned at a higher resolution so I can offer larger prints, however, not all are available at anything larger than a 10″x7″. If there is enough interest in some (like the River Light photo), I would be happy to offer those at a larger size.

I’ll slowly be adding to this collection, but for now, here is a small selection I’ve been collecting over the months. Enjoy and I hope you’ll share with me if there are any prints you’d like to see for sale!

• A few frames // Jill & Andrew •

My heart is full after yesterday’s wedding. Jill & Andrew were beyond my ideal clients in that they made their wedding day about love — no frills, no wedding-industry traditions, just love. Their presence, their gifts, their talents, all spoke volumes yesterday. All of these things encompassed into a celebration uniting two wonderful humans and celebrating those around them. I loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to share the rest.

I’m off to Vancouver for the weekend to unwind a bit after a crazy month I’ve had and gear up for an exciting wedding season that’s just beginning to pick up. Just my boyfriend and I, exploring, walking, eating, enjoying each other’s company. I can’t wait. Cheers until Monday!

Sometimes you just have to get something out of your head.

This last winter, it was that fog shoot….this week, it was a rooftop…and not to mention sun. As a creative you need to try different things…see if they work or not, and not be afraid to totally fail. I just felt this ping of inspiration and needed to run with it. And I’m so happy I have friends who will join me in that ride.

I love these two people with all my heart. Katelyn is one of my dearest friends from college, and it’s one of those friendships I will cherish until the day I die. We have shared so many milestones together and continue to walk alongside one another as we move through life, no matter the distance, time, or crazy schedule. Grant I’ve known almost equally as long, and am so happy the two of them are a team. I was honored to stand by them as they exchanged vows a couple years back and I can’t count the ways these two continue to bless the lives of people around them. They are just such a joy to be around, not to mention a drop-dead gorgeous couple to photograph. Love them oh so much.

Hi. I have a supermodel for a best friend. Oh yea, did I mention she’s in med school? Intelligent and beautiful. Sheesh.

And for good measure, a few film shots from the evening.

Spent the entire weekend in Cle Elum — relaxing, exploring, shooting a million rolls of film, and focusing on my branding. It was a great weekend and can’t wait to post some photos from the trip. For your Monday, a two shots recently taken in Seattle. Love this city.

Branding….myself.

Among the insane schedule I’ve been trying to swing this last month (oh wait…like last 6 months – time freakin’ flies) I knew it was time to focus on myself and my own business. I’ve been putting it off for almost a YEAR now and decided in the last month I seriously couldn’t wait any longer. For the next few weeks I’ll slowly be rolling out some new branding for myself…or rather some “rearranging”. As you can probably already tell, there have been some minor adjustments to the blog and Facebook page as I begin to play with a few things. I’ve figured out what is most important to me and my business and I want a new look to reflect that. New logo, new blog, new packaging, the whole works.

Here’s a little peek of what elements I’m working with — lots of earthy blues, black, white, cream & copper. I love hand drawn patterns juxtaposed with clean lines, strong typography mixed with hand painted cursive…. and of course some metallic. It’s been a long time coming and I can’t wait to get this going.
