15 – A Culinary Experience

June 11, 2010 – 7:39 am

Recently I photographed a very unique culinary event referred to simply as 15. During the span of eight hours I was busy photographing each of the fifteen courses plus the action in a relatively small and very fast-paced kitchen. The event, in downtown Spokane, Washington was orchestrated by The Purple Turtle and Chef Jeremy Hansen of Santé Restaurant & Charcuterie.

Afterward I went home and made myself a quite delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich (not pictured).

Cooper’s 9 Month Photos – Baby Photography

September 18, 2009 – 7:01 am

For the third time now I photographed “friend of the family”…little Cooper who is now 9 months old! In the days after our photo session he started showing off his crawing skills so now Coop’s on the move!

Since I still wanted to again photograph in Cooper’s own surroundings but also wanted a clean “studio” look to some of the shots, we set up a backdrop in the living room to start. Later we moved the backdrop behind his parents bed and got shots of him playing with his books. We also went outside into the bright sun and I used an off-camera flash to fill in the shadows.

Cooper had some angry and also sad moments during our adventure but I learned from photographing my son (now 17 months old) to capture those moments too because the are all part of the different stages of being a baby!

Check back in a few months when Cooper will be ONE!
