I've always been fascinated by composition and have taken pictures my entire life but learning how to properly use a proper camera always intimidated me. When I finally broke down and bought a proper camera in 2013 I found that learning how to use it properly wasn't as difficult as expected. Being a graphic designer, it wasn't long before I started taking pictures for clients and not long after that I started accepting clients solely for photographic projects.
Below you'll find a mixture of highlighted projects and general images I've taken - some for clients, some for friends, others for myself but all for the love of the image.
HYDE PERK COFFEE HOUSE
When this unique and community oriented coffeehouse opened in Hyde Park, Boise I was doing a brief stint there working with several clients. I instantly found my spot at the back and was made to feel right at home. Taking pics and creating their website was just a natural thing to do, particularly because the amazing space and the people made me feel like family.
SCAR (Second Chance Animal Rescue)
After Hurricane Irma decimated Puerto Rico, the island faced a number of challenges. Among them was the amount of dogs and cats either abandoned or born in the wake of suspended spay/neuter programs. While on the island my partner and I spent a day volunteering at SCAR which included taking adoption pics for over 100 animals. We also adopted a cat and a dog!
Fit and Well Seattle
Amy Brumbaugh came to me for a website but knew that any good site starts with strong imagery. We did a couple of shoots at two of the locations she trains at and her clients were kind enough to take part. In addition to images of her training we focused on some background shots of equipment to be used for banners.
Still looking for more? You're intrepid. Find more images on my Instagram and if you don't mind, give me a follow. Cheers!
