Seattle wedding and Boudoir Photographer
I love my quiet time, but hardly ever get it. I hardly ever get it, because I live a life full of doing. Take me away to the beach so I can listen to the crashing waves. The waves are the only thing that slows me down, because any other ideal vacation includes being busy.
Over the years I have worked with many people. Many people talk about the style of wedding they want to photograph. When trying to define my favorite weddings they all had different styles. I have learned it has nothing to do with the style, but everything to do with the people themselves.
Who are you? Are you compassionate about the people you work with? Do you have a purpose for yourself that goes beyond the everyday, and work hard to help others? Does that compassion drive your own success? It that success more of feeling than what you will find in your purse? After all your hard work, is much needed time off better than anything else you could have? Do you find that your time off is busy trying to pack in as much of this life? Would you pick travel over a shopping spree? If you have said yes, then I really want to know more about you!
I am the photographer for the compassionate, hardworking, driven soul that is so very ready to kick off her shoes and have a super fun day no matter what.
My Roots
Of course I love photography or else I wouldn’t be doing this. It is in my genes. It is part of my make up. I have a quite a family history with photography. My grandfather and cousin are both photographers. My grandmother Jeanne Blair died when I was 14, which is when I discovered drawers and drawers filled with old photographs. The amount of photographs that we found was incredible. Most people do not have this amount family documentation like I have of my family from the 1930’s and 1940’s. The unfortunate part was that my grandfather died in the early 1950’s. I never knew until that point my grandfather was a photographer. M
When I was 7 my dad gave a Polaroid camera for Christmas. I was hooked. I took darkroom instead of piano ….don’t have an ear anyway. If I had to give up my camera life might continue as long as the following things where around:
My Loves
In no particular order
- Cold Drip Coffee
- My two sons
- Travel
- My beau
- Herbal Tea at night before bed
- Dark Chocolate
My Gypsy Soul
On a trip to Venice, Italy in college is when I fell love with color photography. Up until that point, I had only done black and white photography. In high school we only had a darkroom for black and white. When I went to Europe, the colors were so beautiful I immediately purchased several rolls of color film. I took an image of the sunset along a canal in Venice that changed my perspective. I had been looking though the lens, only seeing the world without color. All of that changed on my trip to Europe.
I experience the world through my taste buds and my eyes. I said earlier if I had to give up my camera I could live, but I couldn’t live without being artistic in some way. So if I had to give up the lens, then I guess I would pick up the brush again. I think I would pick watercolors for when I travel and oils for a studio.
Thoughts on Love
When it comes to love I strongly believe in it. I believe that when you commit to someone and the relationship you have to both learn how to grow with one another. You have to be healthy in that relationship, which also means being healthy to your own body. When one person respect their own personal development but the other person does not keep up and nurture their health then the relationship can experience hardships.
I am feeling super dedicated to this topic and through my work want to share a couples growth and also self love with the art of boudoir.
The key to a good relationship is knowing how your partner likes to receive love. Check out the 5 Love Languages.
I am Acts of Service and my beau is too. Having that in common does make things easy.
