First Post with Words


Well hello!  I started this blog probably about 2 years ago when I started my little photography business.  I added some pictures and that was pretty much it.  I just recently spent some time re-organizing everything on this blog so that it makes more sense and so that I can actually start to use it as a blog! Huh, how about that?  So, welcome to my first post and thank you for checking it out!  I am going to be honest and put it all out there in a minute.  This is scary for me, and I am intimidated by all of the amazing photographers that we have in the Seattle area already.  But, my heart is on my sleeve right now, and here goes.  I want to be YOUR photographer!  I know that there are about 217,000 others out there that you can choose from, and that makes you a lucky consumer.  But, after building my portfolio and gaining experience, I am ready to put myself out there.  A little backstory; I have always loved taking photos, ever since high school days when I would actually take my film into the dark room and process it with my own hands.  Things have changed since then thanks to technology, but I think I love taking photos even more.  Especially when people let me into the special moments in their lives; a wedding, a new baby, a celebration of family.  I wanted to start this photography business so that I could take beautiful pictures that were affordable.  I was motivated to do this after I checked out rates for my own wedding, and after having discussions with friends about finding good photography at reasonable prices.  So, this is my goal.  I want to take beautiful pictures of your wedding, your pregnancy, family, or special events at a price that is comfortable for both parties.  I can usually work within your budget.  And, after the shoot is done and the keepers are all edited, I give you a DVD of the edited photos.  You can print them, you can post them on your social media, you can give them as gifts.  I will not charge you a highly inflated price for prints in this digital age.  I don't want you to have to choose just 3 shots because of the cost of purchasing prints from me.  So, there you have it.  A nice, awkward proclamation and bid for your business.  Please keep me in mind, and pass along my info to others that you know that may be looking for a photographer.  And stay tuned for my next post, in which I will be going back in time to my very first official photo shoot.

Oh, and feel free to visit my pages up top, the "about the photographer" introduction, or email me with any questions.

And, just to leave you with an image of how I usually look (and because who likes to read a blog post without looking at some pictures?)---with a camera stuck to my head:
and with strangers looking at me like I am crazy...


sometimes you gotta get down to get the picture

I have no idea why I squinch up my face like that when taking photos

I promise there will be no photos of me in the upcoming posts.   Hehe.
