As a freelance photographer, I am constantly thinking of ways to reach out to new clients. This past year, I’ve partnered with two different agencies – Wonderful Machine and Evolve Images to become more visible. Wonderful Machine is a site for clients to find photographers in various cities all over the world. Evolve Images is […]
I have just returned from an amazing week in Africa with President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton. I was hired by the Clinton Foundation to document the President and a delegation as they visited Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative projects in South Africa, Mozambique, Rwanda and Uganda. One of the highlights of the trip was […]
Rivet & Sway, the eyeglass frame website that I have been shooting for, has launched! Most of my work is spattered throughout the site, including all of the product photography. A bit of a departure from the work I usually do – product photography is tricky, but I enjoyed the challenge. I shot 23 pairs […]
Just back from a fun weekend in Las Vegas! I decided to leave the “real” cameras at home and just shoot with my iPhone. I took most of these images with an app called Camera Plus, using a post-production app called SnapSeed. We stayed at the Golden Nugget in the older part of Las Vegas […]
Last weekend the planets must have been aligned because I did a shoot where everything came together. I had a great subject, great clients, great light and what I think are good, okay…..maybe great photos. I am working with Rivet & Sway, a soon-to-be launched website selling prescription eyeglass frames. I have been doing products […]

Chuck, who was also a star football player at the University of Washington, was recently named President and CEO at the WAC. I photographed Chuck, with and without his wife Nanette on the UW campus. We […]
I recently received an inquiry from someone wishing to purchase a signed print of a photo I took almost 20 years ago in Washington DC. This is the The Statue of Freedom, which sits on top of the U.S. Capitol. I found the original transparency, scanned it and made versions in color, B&W and sepia. […]
It’s a wrap for 2011 (I say “wrap” because of new career in movies…more on that later) and I wanted to take a look back at some of my favorite photos and experiences from the past year. The year started off with a 3-week trip to Africa with two different groups, the Eastern Congo […]
Sarah Thomssen and Shawn Brixey were married on New Year’s Eve at the Shafer Baillie Mansion located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. The event was an intimate gathering of family and friends in a beautifully restored mansion that is now a bed & breakfast. Sarah and I had worked together in 2009 at […]
