Courtney {Jackson High School} // Snohomish Senior Photography

Here are a couple of our favorites from Courtney's senior photos! We had fun walking around the Snohomish river and along town. Snohomish is a beautiful area which is also why I can't wait to meet up with her family for some more photos!

We Love Washington // North Cascades Highway

Here are a couple of images from a camping trip my wife and I did this summer. The location is Diablo Lake on the Northern Cascades Highway of Washington state. As I had mentioned to others about this area, it's one of the most scenic areas in the Pacific Northwest. Nothing but clean air and good views for a relaxing weekend. We did the Rainy Pass Hike overlooking Lake Ann and even canoed on Ross Lake. That was in the midst of a small lightning storm too! If you like to camp and adventure into the wilderness, this area has tons to offer. Take a visit!

I SHOOT FILM... {occasionally}

Love shooting film!! I just got a couple rolls back and nothing but gold. Most were shot on Fujicolor Superia x-tra 400 and another set of regular Fujicolor 200. What I love most about shooting film is the color and the dynamic range that you just don't get with digital. At least, without having to pull some photographic tricks from your sleeve. What is also enjoyable is that every roll is like opening presents at Christmas. For one, I don't ever remember what I had shot on the rolls so it's exciting to open it up and see what I had done months prior. If you ever get a chance to shoot film, I highly recommend it. It's like a refresher for your photographic brain. Everything has to be perfect in those 24 frames :)

Most of the photos below were shot on a chartering trip in Westport, Washington. Another highly recommended part of the state that everyone should visit at least once or twice. And if you fish or love camping near the beach, just go every year!

Sunny Riverside Engagement // Elizabeth & Christopher | Snohomish, WA

Meeting with Elizabeth and Christopher over the past few months has been wonderful. We finally got a sun break early into the season and decided that downtown Snohomish was the place to do their engagement photos! We started down river in the tall grass and made our way into the brick town where the sun was setting. If you have ever met these two, they are nothing but giggles and laughter. It was actually rather difficult to get them to "be serious", but hey, you can't complain to work with a happy couple like these two. Their October Bellevue wedding venue is going to be absolutely gorgeous! I am really counting down the days until we can see them as bride and groom... husband and wife! Again, congrats to you two... we're looking forward to your big day!!
