Well, it’s no surprise that I love this location in Pioneer Square and any opportunity I have to be here, I take it. Kimjoy and Dimitri are such a delight. They are both insanely good looking, and so easy to shoot. They would have these quiet moments to themselves where they’d both start cracking up and moments later, they’d be hugging and be so naturally into each other. It’s not often that you meet couples that are affectionate and comfortable with a camera in their face, all at once.

This space not only offers services rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but there’s a big, open space where events are held a few times a week and community is built. Angela, the founder and lead acupuncturist, is a floating angel of a woman and holds a wealth of knowledge. She’s smart, magnetic and instantly calming.

Instead of trucking my equipment into the elements, and asking my couples to do the same, I decided to set up a studio inside my house, with a backdrop and lighting, to give me tons of options for shoots when the weather takes a turn. (If you’re a photographer reading this and it’s your jam to get in the rain and make it work, props to you. You are badass.)
Read MoreEvery New Years Eve, Corina throws a kids party that is every parents dream come true. It’s short (7-9pm), full of popcorn, dancing, and balloons. There’s plenty of space for the littles to get their wiggles out and there’s also a bar for mom and dad to indulge in. It’s a win-win for everyone involved and I was so happy to be a part of the fun!
Read MoreAfter 15 years in the Pacific Northwest, these two kind souls and their pup are headed to Northern California. I’m so glad I was able to catch them before their big move south. I wanted to do this session somewhere meaningful to them and Lincoln Park fit the bill.
