So there is no better way to describe todays assignment then to just visually show you what I mean. This week Jacob L. (view more of his work HERE) and I did a One on One Photography Workshop down at Pikes Place Market! I set Jacob out to photograph one subject from as many various angles as he could think of. Picture this area of Pikes Place if you’re familiar with it..How many other angles can you think of to shoot this scenario? I can think of at least 4 other distinct angles…

The goal is to see a situation in a unique manner that others may not see or think of. It will help set your images apart.

Here are Photographs that Jacob took. Notice how he didn’t rely on a zoom lens to give a different perspective, but picked up his feet and moved himself around his environment. He was up high, down low and to the sides! Great job Jacob and thanks for going for it! Hope you learned some valuable lessons to take with you!

These are Images I took while out with Jacob galavanting through downtown Seattle, early morning before the crowds descended! The best time to wander around with a camera in hand! =:)

This S-W-E-E-T event was More than Fun!! Featuring James MacWilliams, famed bartender from Seattle own Canlis Restaurant, mixing up and serving his Wonderful Strawberry Infused Vodka drink, and on hand there were Luscious mini cupcakes by Wink Cupcakes and LOTS of wonderful Women Powered Networking!

And the SWAG bags were particularly Rockin’ this time too! The fabulous Powerhouse Darnell Sue planned and hosted a truly wonderful event for us all at Domaine. You should see the view from these new Gorgeous Condos…And they’re now available for rental leases!!! And check out the last photo of the Beautiful Lake Union Water view from the complex.

Thanks to all the ladies who were there and that I had a pleasure to meet and get to know! See you all again soon!!

All of you are Truly ‘Sexy in the City’….. ; -)

You know how to Rock this ole’ car Bill! Concours d’LeMons kicks a** and thanks for takin’ me along for the ride!…

Mindy & Rick truly felt it was important to photograph their growth as a family. Starting with Mindy’s Maternity Portraits that we took when she was 8 months pregnant, to documenting their Home Birth, to Petra’s One month, Three month, Six month and now Nine month portraits right here! It’s been such a blessing to see her grow so quickly, developing a quirkiness that is truly Rick’s and a sweetness that is all Mindy’s….And Petra has the most FANTASTIC Eyes…Dontcha think?!!!

Enjoy and be on the look out for her 12 month photos later this Fall!! ; )

Hey All! So I just got back from a Whirlwind of a week in the Bay Area…The Stellar Concorso Italiano was hosted Friday in Monterey, followed by Car Races the following day as well as numerous other car shows. What a H-O-T Weekend!!! Enjoy these few images and I promise to post more from the Event soon!!

Ok, Sweet Ms. Kelsey is headed into her Senior Year at Shorecrest High School! She’s Fun, Zany and LOVE to Jump….Can’t you tell!!

I had a ball photographing her, as her personality shines through right away, which made for some Crazy F-U-N!!

Go Class of 2010!!……………….Here’s to your Future Kelsey!! Climb as high as you can and reach for the stars!!!

Ok, These Guy R-O-C-K!!! As they Roll through the skies of course!!! Too much fierce, coordinated action to pass up!!! These images were taken of the Angels over 3 days of their Seafair Participation! All are available for purchase as large prints!! Email me for HERE details!! Enjoy!!

The first image is me with Pilot CDR Greg McWherter, aka ‘Flighter Leader/Commanding Officer’ aka ‘the BOSS’.

The second image is me with Pilot LCDR Paul Brantaus, Right Wing ‘Plane #2′.

And in the third image I’m having a conversation with Pilot Major Nathan Miller, Lead Solo, ‘Plane 5′.

I have to say after truly admiring and making all efforts to see the Blue Angels every time they visited town here in Seattle and San Francisco over the last 10 years, I was Truly Excited to get the chance to meet with and talk to the Pilots tonight at the Columbia Tower Club. I do have to say membership DEFINITELY has it’s privileges!! ; )

And truly, I am in awe of the confidence and humility that each of the gentlemen and woman that represent the Blue Angels Fleet posess! They are humble, engaging, consistently giving and SO Confident! I can’t speak about their Confidence enough. I left wondering what the average IQ was of the Blue Angels as a collective. Guess that’s a question for next time! They represent a strength we have as US citizens and each defends our country in great ways and for the current time in a fun and exciting way to show the Strength that we possess in all our glory!

Thanks to each of you for answering my questions, remembering my name each time we spoke and for showing us such talent over Seafair Weekend. I can honestly say the city of Seattle LOVES when you are in town. You are welcome back anytime!!

I hope you all and your families enjoyed your week here and the reception this evening in your honor!
