Video
Video lets me go further with storytelling..... The same cameras that I use for photography are GREAT film-making cameras. I also have the sound equipment, lighting, other equipment, and know-how to produce high quality HD video. I like to use fusion.......The fusion of video, stills, voice-over, time lapse, music, effects. I'm in a great position to use all of this material in producing great storytelling video. For examples, see my sites on Vimeo and YouTube (buttons On The Sides), both my professional and personal video is there.

Had a lot of fun shooting these engagement photos of Adrienne Marie & Michaeljo. The days started out cloudy, but we had full sun by the end. Shot these at several Seattle locations.
Milo
Milo turned 1. Parents Gretchen and Chris gave me a great opportunity to photograph him. Milo's images just kill me. His gaze so straight, direct, bare. I got so many images of him that I just love. They are a great family, and were easy and fun to spend time with.
Dolly Turns 80
Dolly, beloved by all, had her 80th birthday. I spent a couple of hours with her, photographing her, trying to make 'the' portrait of her in her beautiful home. At the end of the session, I shot a short video of her expressing her gratitude about life, and made this short clip.
