Quite an unusual event took place on January 19th 2012 as Seattle experienced ice storm, where freezing rain covered everything with a thin layer of ice. I didn’t miss the opportunity and took some interesting photos of frozen flora. That week we also lost power (thankfully it was restored 30 hours later) and the weight of the ice broke a tree in our backyard 😀
I’ve known Erika for quite some time – she’s my wife’s friend – and in late August I had her model for me in her wedding dress (yup – she’s married – sorry guys! 😀 We met in the Seattle’s Gas Works Park, weather was great, though a few more clouds on the sky wouldn’t hurt. There were few other photographers working with their clients/models which made some of the shots difficult to achieve (but I guess it worked […]
In the beginning, there was water .. Kim & I met on Deviantart.com around mid-June where we talked about possibly doing an underwater photoshoot together. Due to conflicting schedules, it took us several tries, but we finally managed to plan one for the beginning of July. So I packed my gear and drove to Silverdale where Kim & I shot throughout the night in a pool. Underwater photography might sound easy but in reality it requires a lot of work. […]
We met with our friends, Sat and Janice, again on Sunday to finish Jhet’s newborn photo session. Baby was cooperative and we manage to get many shots done. Jhet managed to mark his territory and show who was boss by peeing on his father. We will post more photos as they are finished processing.
Our friends Janice and Sat welcomed their second child last week and asked us to capture their new addition to the family. Baby behaved very well sleeping most of the time and peed only twice on our props – LOL! – but that’s how newborns are 😀 We will be doing another shoot on Sunday. Below are some of the photos captured today. More to come soon.
How did Seattlelites spend their July 9th weekend? Some went to see a movie, some relaxed at home, while some spent their morning running at the Seattle’s first 10K Mud Run called The Dirty Dash. The weather was gorgeous (for Washington) and there were a lot of participants willing to get low and dirty while running through obstacles like Big Pig Climb, Hog Wallow and Pig Pen and many more 🙂 Who knows – perhaps I will participate in the […]
A few photos of Zoë for my parents to see – they live in Europe and have yet to see her in person (planned visit to Europe in September). So Mom & Dad – enjoy photos of your granddaughter 🙂
The Chance: Where the Art of Fashion Innovates event took place on a Saturday evening and finding a parking proved to be a serious challenge. I was invited by Priyaa and she was already there getting her makeup and hair done. I managed to take some photos of different models before the show – all of them were quite happy to pose for myself and several other photographers. http://www.facebook.com/ChanceNW
