I have continued to be busy as I finish up the wedding season. I am booking family portrait sessions for the holidays so please let me know if you would like to schedule one!
The results for the Evening Magazine Best of Western Washington are in, and although I didn’t win, my friend Jean-Marcus Strole was voted Best Photographer! We were in the Photography program together at UW.
My wife and I found the time recently to go to Leavenworth while the fall colors were on! I made sure to bring my tripod and started to play with HDR landscapes. I used Photomatix software for processing them, and I’m really looking forward to trying more HDR!
I shot Dylan’s senior photos at his house and a local school. We had fun shooting and got some cool shots.
The best party of the year is the Czaplinski Halloween party and I showed up with camera in hand! Ryan had turned the garage into a crazy dance floor with fog, lights, and zombies!
I headed up to the Washington Park Arboretum to shoot Ashlee and Dean’s engagement photos. The fall colors were amazing! I will have to try to make it up there every fall.
Stacy and I celebrated our 1st anniversary by heading down to Cancun Mexico for a week. While we were at the baggage claim in Mexico, a woman from the Associated Press interviewed us about Hurricane Ida and we made the news! It was windy for a while and there was a storm surge that prevented beach access. The weather did clear up after a couple days. We visited the local malls, Isle Mujeres, and Xcaret. We had a good balance of relaxing, reading books, hanging out with some new friends, and exploring.
