Back to August, when D & E tied the knot in the heart of Seattle. Their day was filled with so much love, laughter, and a whole lot of joy! It was an honor to capture every moment.

Had my first run in with a group of Whiskey Jacks recently. Caught this snapshot as we were both trying to find a place to stay dry.

The Canada Jay lives mostly in the boreal forests of Canada and at altitude in the Cascades and Rocky Mountains of the US.

Nesting in winter, the Canada Jay incubates it’s eggs in freezing temperatures. They store up food for this period by using their sticky saliva to glue small pieces of food above the snow line. These small birds have also been seen to eat other animals. This includes a report of one tearing a baby bat away from its mother!

In 2016 the Grey Jay was voted the national bird of Canada and in 2018 it was renamed the Canada Jay by the American Ornithological Society.

Got to witness 11th generation Murano Glass Artist Davide Salvadore give a workshop in his techniques.

Kevin and Brian ended the year by tying the knot at their beautiful home in Seattle! Swipe to see the some pictures from their lovely ceremony!

Congratulations to Maxine and Jesse!!!

Had a fun time shooting with the Thomas family this weekend! 🍓 It was their last few days before welcoming James into the world. As always Leah was a star ⭐️. Can’t wait to meet her new brother!

When out in my kayak I’m constantly switching my attention from the trees to the water to look for compositions. It’s not often you come into a clearing and are able to find something postcard perfect. Then there’s often troubleshooting. Will the water be too deep for the tripod? How much wind is there? What’s the weather like? Is it the right time of day?

Here I wanted to divide the scene into four parts using the waterline and the tree. I wanted to convey the searching feeling that goes into the process. Constantly looking at the water, the trees, and the sky. Wondering what animal may be hiding in plain sight or behind the next tree. It’s fantastic! If you haven’t explored Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge yet, you should check it out!
