Cam at the Beach

Earlier this week Sara and I took the kids out to the beach at Mukilteo in hopes of getting a few portraits that I could make up into wall canvas prints for Mother’s Day. This was a great idea except for the fact that we both forgot Paige doesn’t like the beach…

Yep, she abhors getting sand between her toes and she thinks the beach smells bad. So, Sara ended up carrying her the entire time we were there. Thankfully though I got this shot of Cam playing at the water’s edge. Isn’t he cute?

Seattle Metropolitan Magazine – Images from Make A Wish Foundation’s ‘One Spring Night’ Gala

On March 17th I had the pleasure of shooting the Make A Wish Foundation’s Annual Gala event which this year was titled ‘One Spring Night’. It was a gorgeous black tie event held at the Seattle Westin. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, the event surpassed their goal by $75,000 earning $625,000.

Seattle Metropolitan Magazine asked me to document the festivities for their May issue’s Snapshots page (page 48) and I’m proud to show you the final page as it appears in the magazine.

Carrie’s Spring Senior Session

Jeff — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:50:02 +0000

Carrie was over to the studio recently to complete her senior package’s spring session. We totally lucked out with the weather. By the end of the session it got all nasty outside and started to pour. For her last set we did an more urban setting in downtown Everett so this time around we decided to shoot in the woods behind my studio and down by the lake. It was a lot of fun!

The rest of Carrie’s images will be online shortly: http://www.pictage.com/467475

Cooking with Megan and Travis

I got together with Megan & Travis last week to create some lifestyle images for a wedding magazine. They are looking for a sexy couple cooking in their kitchen. So, we decided to have them make a new dish together in their beautiful kitchen. I really enjoyed their company. We shared some nice wine and as always it was a pleasure being around them.

I brought over a bottle of my friend and neighbor Micole Miller’s wonderful wines, a 2005 Furion Cellars Syrah. He hand crafts these wonderfully complex wines in his small winery.

Travis doesn’t cook so it was fun to watch Megan teaching him how to chop vegetables on the cutting board and such. Here’s a few of the images that I submitted to the magazine.
