entry description
As we came down off of Tahoma (a.k.a. Mt. Rainier) we were still on the Snowfield as the sun set above the Valley of the Clouds. My friend hopped up on this cliff ledge and started doing ballet and yoga. I took several shots, but this is my favorite.about the photographer
I am a self-taught photographer currently residing in Seattle, WA. I rarely plan a photo; I love being in the moment and mostly taking candids. I love bus-walking around Seattle and seeing what I can capture. I love hearing people's stories and then taking their portrait. I love hiking, and the Pacific Northwest never fails to deliver jaw-dropping beauty for taking photos. Over the years I have developed my own style, yet my photos are all very unique aesthetically. I view taking pictures as a responsibility to life - I often realize that I am freezing and salvaging moments that will never happen again. When I'm out on a shoot I often say to myself, "what if this were the last photo I ever take? Would I be happy with it?" I feel honored to be a photographer.back to gallery
