I recently got to shoot a local Ballard bar called The Sexton. They’re located right on Ballard ave so stop by and grab a drink. They have tasty snacks and entree options all for a great price. Visit their website here, The Sexton. They have fantastic looking decor. :)

And this was the shot that was used for the article!

The cassette tapes are sweeeet looking.

So come by and order yourself a Sexton Julep, they’re yummy. :)

Go here to take a gander through the January 2012 issue of Dlist magazine where it’s featured! Dlist magazine.

I’m finally able to post a few more photo’s from my shoot with Cake Envy a few months back! Their bakery/cafe is located right next to Greenlake so you can go down there, grab a cup of joe, a delicious cupcake and enjoy a nice walk around the lake, do some shopping, or maybe visit one of my favorite hot yoga studio’s is also located there called I Love Hot Yoga. :)

Anyways here’s some of my favorites from my shoot over at Cake Envy. It was for the November issue of Dlist magazine.

A few weeks ago I was able to go out with James, Cory and Nick to shoot a bunch of promo photo’s for their music. We started off at the amazing ginormous graffiti wall in Sodo which I absolutely love photographing at. There’s so much room to move around and do a big variety of shots. We ended the day up in North Everett and exploring around the downtown area. At this moment I’m not able to post up all the photo’s just yet but I am able to show a few. Enjoy!

This photo reminds me of something that’d be like an old newspaper clipping ha.

Stay tuned for photo’s from their recent show on the 15th! :)

Here is a sneak peek from my shoot last Monday with So-Low, Cory Spitz and Soundproof. Stay tuned for a full blog post!

On another note, I’m also in the midst of switching website hosts so my main site will be down for a few days.

I’ve been lucky enough to continue to get more assisting opportunities fairly regularly which is great! I love being to experience how they shoot, how they talk to clients and subjects, what they’re working with and how they bring it all together. It’s been an awesome learning experience every time. I’ve been assisting on a few architecture shoots with Robert Pisano, photographing the interiors of people’s homes all over Seattle, Bellevue and Mercer Island. Being able to continue learning different specialities in photography really helps gain knowledge even in the business aspect of things.

Along with Robert I’ve gotten to continue assisting with Kevin Casey on various portrait-type shoots. It’s all been able to go fairly smoothly and luckily no real mishaps have happened! I’m grateful for all the working photographers out there and being able to have the opportunities to work on in this field.

Knowing that I’m working towards something worthwhile, something that brings me happiness is an amazing thing. It took me awhile to realize that I really couldn’t have a full time time. Well, a full time desk type job. Anything involving an office setting, receptionist or office assistant work was really killing my soul so to say. I have huge amounts of respect to everyone out there who are working 40 hours a week getting that paper! But I’m definitely not one of those people. And I can safely say that with confidence even with the chances that I might fail. It should be worth it. I can’t be stuck anywhere for too long, I tend to go crazy. Being able to freelance and assist kind of on a more “random” schedule is really cool.

All the more reason to keep working towards your goals!

I recently just moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend James and friends Ari and Bryce so it was a little hectic last week but I am now fully settled in and am loving my new place in Bothell! Only thing is we don’t have any internet set up yet so I’m utilizing the Starbucks nearby. =) Stay tuned for pics.

This last Sunday was my friend Jazmyne’s 22nd birthday and she decided to have a few local artists/friends perform at Golden Gardens. We had performances from Cory [Young C's], James [Solo], Nick [Soundproof], Kit [Porky Scoop], Joelle and Chris [Frequently Faded]. Sound equipment provided by X. Overall the show was great and the party was a blast!

Support your local artists!
