Adoption

I finally put together a page for my adoption photos! I photograph for the organization, Celebrating Adoption, and each adoptive family gets a free session and free proof book, plus 15% percent off the price on any orders. We've had a wonderful influx of kids from around the world here in Whatcom County - Guatemala, Ghana, Ethiopia... and of course kids from right here in the USA. I love adoption - making a life-altering difference for a child. I've watched our friend's kids grow up and seen the joy over the years. This is one way I can make a small contribution and give these wonderful families a portrait to cherish.

Video

I am having a blast with the latest addition to my photo arsenal: video! I love it for spicing up my slideshows, which I always use to present the first view from a photo session.
Here is Jack at age 3, testing out my brand new backyard bridge! Enjoy.

2010Seniors

Matthias und Sabine

Matthias und Sabine

I spent 10 days in Germany this past September, and photographed a lovely wedding of a fabulous couple, Matthias and Sabine Greye. Here are their favorite pics in a slide show. Enjoy! (click on the words above!)

Lainie

Over the years my kids are always my favorite subjects to photograph. My daughter Lainie is an actress in Seattle these days and actually needs my abilities! This is pretty thrilling for me, since my older boys do not enjoy me lining them up for yet another photo.
These photos are the latest - she needed something with a little more edge than we had photographed previously.

family

I photographed this couple's wedding years ago. Since then we've both been through tragedy, and we both have lovely families to lean on and to fill us with gratitude. Tevin is the newest addition and another blessing.

a long, hot summer

Class of 2010

I love summer seniors! No stress, no deadlines... just a lot of fun in the sun! Tonight's senior is Liz, from Squalicum. We crashed the beach and surrounding area in what I call "The No Tresspassing Zone."

Seniors! Let the season begin...

As we launch into another year of high school seniors, I want to look back at some of our memorable spring sessions...

Print Competition

Photo titles: "One Last Look at Home," "Generation X" and "Stormy."


Every spring I enter print competition with the Professional Photographers of America. Each of these three prints received a "worthy of merit" ribbon. In photographer's speak, we say "it hung," which means it qualified to be featured in a gallery of the best photos from Washington Photographers for the year. It's a short gallery - only open one day! It's really a peer thing, but it means a lot to each of us to see our images acknowledged and honored.

As a member of PPW, I spend a lot of time each year attending conferences and classes, always seeking to improve my skills and keep at the tip of the edge in technology and style in the swiftly changing field of photography. I hope my work reflects both my passion and my education. I'm doing this for you, my clients, to give you the best I can be. Thanks for trusting me with your portrait needs!

林 佩璇 from Taiwan with Pizazz

Lynden Christian High School always has a lot of exchange students - I love that! I was an exchange student in Germany 30 years ago. I still keep in touch with my host family. We also had a German exchange student 9 years ago - Karsten. He is our dear friend. We visited Karsten and his family and my host family when we traveled Europe in 2003. Karsten and his brother Matthias came to visit us, and Karsten ended up studying at U Victoria for a year. These are wondrous bonds with friends far away and from different cultures.
Lisa is from Taiwan, and one of about 30 exchange students in the LC school system. She's been here since 8th grade and I was privileged to take her senior pictures. She is full of life and the glow from within is so bright it spills out all over! You can guess I loved taking her photos!

A Fresh Start

Samuel jumped the gun on his entrance into the real world, but he's strong, healthy, and taking the world by smiles.

LOVE is in the air

We've had the studio up and running for over a year now, and I've been tossing around the idea of doing studio specials. Well, I'm actually doing one these next three days! I will be photographing "Be My Valentine" photos. Details are on my regular web site - I'm posting here the sample Valentines I put together. The studio shots will be a blast - I went crazy buying hearts, pink princess dresses and cool red bandannas for the boys and "love" tattoos for their arms (something along the lines of "wild thing, you make my heart sing.") Gabe spray painted bows and arrows gold for me, in case I have any cupid wannabees! Come on by and get yourself in a Valentine!

Happy New Year!

Here's wishing you the happiest, loveliest, and joyfullest New Year ever!
