Moody Summer: Crescent Lake

Some of my fondest memories are from the time I went camping. The time we went to Lake Crescent in hopes to get a great spot and see the lavender fields was definitely some of them. We didn't get as lucky as we hoped at first but, it still ended up being a great getaway with some fun images to go along with it.

Friends, cherries, and sunshine at Rainier

2016 has been an amazing year. I spent so much time with great friends exploring our home in the Pacific Northwest. Some of my most fond memories come from our day trips out to Mt. Rainier, a must see National Park near Ashford, WA.

Camping in the PNW: Part 1

In 2016, I spent most of my summer camping. I had so many images from these trips and no time to do anything with them until now. Fall is here, rain is constant, and sunset is much earlier these days causing me to reflect on the nights where the sun set at 9pm.

Stefanie & Joel: The sweetest goodbye

Stef and Joel met and began dating about 6 months ago. Besides the casual selfies, these two love birds didn't have any real photos of the two of them. With Stef leaving back home to Texas from Seattle, she asked if I would take their photos. Saying goodbye isn't easy but it also doesn't mean it can't be sweet.

Film: A love affair

The dying art is being revived and it's up to us to keep it alive. Shooting film is one of the most therapeutic aspects of photography. Take a look at some of my favorite images from my recent photography challenge with street photographs.

Miami: South Beach

During my annual visit back home, I took to the most famous part of my city, South Beach. I saw the island in a completely different way.

Miami: Calle Ocho

In April, I went back to Miami for my annual visit and to also celebrate my grandfathers birthday. I felt like I was looking at the city I grew up in with a completely different eye. Luckily I was able to revisit some famous spots and photograph my journey.
