365 Project | Day 1 | Seattle Portrait Photographer
Happy New Year!
Today is the first day of my new resolution, a 365 photo project! I've heard of them and followed a few friends who did them, and now it's my turn. My goal is to take a photo a day through 2012 - with my Cadillac of cameras, not the iPhone. {Well, maybe not a Cadillac......its more like a Lexus.} It sounds daunting but at the same time, achievable. I'm excited about having a new, fun goal to work towards besides your every day goals {or resolutions as you may have said these past few days} like eating better, exercising more or booking x number more customers per month, yada yada yada.
I'm hoping, besides how fun it's going to be, it'll help me see the world around me better and in turn, record the summation of my observations and thoughts through one photograph. Or maybe, if I'm nearing the end of a super crazy nothing-went-right-today kind of day, I'll at least get a photograph of something {insert glass of red wine, bubble bath, and 2 advil here} with a little flair. As a photographer with a touch of analytical nerd in me, I hope to see my exposures and compositions get better and use new and different techniques to bring focus to my subject. I hope to further define my overall *style* by picking a subject and really thinking through how I want to portray that subject. I want to SLOW DOWN, think about how I want the finished product to look, set up the shot, then press the shutter. See, I'm getting all nerdy. I'd like to spend at least 5-10 minutes a day on this. Oh, and did I mention have FUN?!
I'll post a photo here every day as well as on my flickr site if you want to follow the project.
And since today is the 1st, below is the 1st photo {taken in Plain, WA this morning}:

What to Wear | More Fall Inspiration! | Seattle Portrait Photographer
Hi there! Happy 11.11.11!
I came across another great What to Wear collage from Twenty Twenty Photography. It fits right into the Fall/Thanksgiving theme and colors for 2011.
Enjoy!

Mindy + Larry | Spokane Wedding Photographer
I had the pleasure of photographing Mindy and Larry's wedding in Spokane this summer {another late post I realize}. They got married at the Corbin Mansion on 7th Avenue. It was my first time photographing an event at the mansion, and it was beautiful, as was the wedding!
Mindy and Larry, prior to this wedding, had a 40 year history together dating back to high school. The guest book table had a 40-year-old prom photo of them next to a current engagement photo - loved it! It reminded me of my history. Even after all these years they were a little shy and nervous {and of course excited} as anyone would be on their wedding day, especially with a camera in their face! By the way, that vintage corvette is Larry's - he's an avid collector and fixed it up piece by piece. When I asked if they would sit on the top for a few photos - he flatly said 'no'. I decided just to roll with it :)
Cheers, Mindy and Larry to another 40 years!
