Bobbi Wood Paintings – Bellingham Fine Art Photography
As a photographer, one of my most rewarding jobs is photographing work created by other artists. As we discuss how to render their work visually, I get a special window into their intent and inspiration. It’s like a VIP backstage pass to an art show.
In Bobbi’s work, I love how exuberantly she explores what is possible with color, pattern and texture. Her journey as a painter is young, which fosters an exciting freshness. This set of photos feature Bobbi’s drawings and acrylic paintings from Spring of 2012.
Scott and Jenny – Seattle Wedding Photography at Gasworks, Tubs, and the Seattle Vineyard
Beneath the beautiful music and richly imagined space, a powerful sense of presence could be felt at Scott and Jen’s wedding—the sacred awareness of two people joining their faith in a covenant of hope, the witness of a community showering their blessing and creativity, and the sweet child-like joy of each experiencing the other.
Scott and Jen, you are beautiful together and it was a blessing to capture your wedding!

Carl and Eliza — Lake Wilderness Lodge Wedding Photography
Carl and Eliza celebrated their marriage at the Lake Wilderness Lodge — a beautiful, unpretentious venue nestled within an arboretum in Maple Valley. I love how they centered their wedding around their own family, with their adorable son Julian as an integral part of the sacred and the fun. Congratulations and thank you so much for inviting me to share your day!
Blessings on you and your family.
James and Cynthia – Bellingham Wedding Photography
James’ and Cynthia’s wedding on Chuckanut Mountain was a beautiful picture of their love for the forest, their community, and each other. I appreciated how the whole day told their story of simple faith, healing, and a new life together. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your wedding with me!

Alexis and Adrian – Seattle Engagement Photography at Pike Place Market
What happens when you mix an Irishman and a flaming redhead? A whole lot of character! Adrian and Alexis are tons of energy and are super fun to photograph. They chose Pike Place Market for their engagement session since they met nearby and it’s one of their favorite date spots. Liz and I are excited to capture their wedding in December!

Carl and Eliza – Pike Place Market Engagement Photography
Carl and Eliza were great sports and we had a blast with the fish throwers, the gum wall, and market chaos in general. I look forward to seeing more of them and shooting their wedding in June!

Thanks to the fish throwers for being a part of our session!
Canoeing the Lake Washington Arboretum – Tilt Shift Photography
Liz and I enjoyed a beautiful day canoeing through the Lake Washington Arboretum this past weekend with some of our fabulous extended family. While out, we christened our new tilt-shift lens.
By bending the lens away from the camera, the focal plane pivots through 3D space. This results in some interesting slices of focus that would otherwise be impossible. So far shooting like this feels a little like having gravity switched to some oblique sideways angle, but it’s also exhilarating to interact with the world in a new way!

Tobias Joshua – Bellingham Family Photography
My sister’s son Tobias is probably the chillest, most good-natured little guy I’ve ever known and (with the help of his cousin) he’s been teaching me to appreciate babies in a whole new way. I love this exchange between him and his dad over Easter weekend.

Plus a bonus… his new trick is to crawl at you as fast as he can until he bonks into your forehead.
