packaging & branding...

there's a million posts all over the web about the importance of branding one's business. i'm not going to add another here... but i did put a lot of thought into how i want my photos to be received by people and the overall look i want my brand to have. it's constantly amazing to me how many hats a small business person has to wear. in my line... photographer, software whiz, computer techie, bookkeeper and accountant, and now... producer and marketer. xo, .b.

randy & renee are tying the knot...

Shooting bars and restaurants...

I spent some time shooting restaurants, bars, and happy hours a little while back for Seattle magazine. I think because i've worked in them for so long, it's one of my favorite things to shoot editorially. a combination of two loves so to speak. plus, more often than not, I'm offered the subjects of my shot when i'm done. which has got to be one of the best perks of the job! the issue just came out, so i thought i'd post my shots.

duh!

i had so much fun yesterday with randy and renee... i'm going to post a bunch of their pics soon, but here's two to start with. randy asked renee to marry him, and she said "duh!"

easy like sunday mornin...

sunday morning brunch with my girlfriends is one of my most favorite things in the whole wide world. sometimes we go out, sometimes we eat in. sometimes there's just two of us, sometimes up to ten. but there are always always mimosa's or bloody mary's and lovely company in the mix. here's myself and one of my favorite people on earth, having a lazy sunday morning brunch a few weeks ago....
