iPad Wallpaper

Lindsay — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:56:20 +0000

I’m stoked to about my new iPad and in celebration, I’m giving away a fine art wallpaper that will look great on your iPads, iPhones, 13″ Macbooks, even (gasp, PCs) Netbooks. This image was taken in Bergen, Norway on my ’round the world trip exactly three years ago. This city is a dream and I’d go back in a heartbeat! With its quaint little streets, sweeping views of the fjords, and summer midnight suns, Norway is a place of dreams and like nowhere else I’ve ever seen. Click HERE to download. Enjoy!

Welcome Home, Vincent | Fort Lewis, WA

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect during my first Homecoming Session with Oplove, but it was amazing! The plane landed at the nearby Air Force base while everyone cheered and watched on a big screen. A couple hours later, the brigade entered the gym in formation, the curtain hiding them from view lifted, and after a few brief words and a moment of silence for those who did not come back, they were free to embrace their family and friends who were eagerly awaiting.

Katie had their first child while Vincent was away on deployment, and he was able to meet his daughter for the first time while he was home for R and R. She’s now nearing her first birthday and Vincent is seeing her for the first time since she was one month old. It was a touching reunion and I was so honored to be there to photograph this family’s first moments back together. Welcome home, Vincent and the 5/2 Stryker Brigade!

Willamette Valley | Oregon Wine Country

Lindsay — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 21:08:13 +0000

Having grown weary of Seattle’s “June-uary,” we set out for a long weekend in sun-drenched Willamette Valley. Wine glasses in hand, we kicked back under the sun, played with light in our cameras, and happily bought cases of wine to stock the wine cellar (a.k.a. my laundry room!) for the summer. ‘Twas heavenly.

If you get a chance to head there yourself (and you should!), check out some of the wineries we visited:

Willamette Valley Vineyards

Airlie Winery

Coelho Winery

Amity Vineyards

Cana’s Feast Winery

Springhouse Cellar Winery

Stacy + Andrew Engaged! | Seattle Engagement Photography

Lindsay — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 11:58:13 +0000

We lucked out with this session landing on one of the first feels-like-summer days in Seattle this June. It’s a good thing, too, since I was starting to think winter would melt right back into fall and we’d miss summer altogether!

Stacy and Andrew are a great couple and to top it off, she proposed to him! How cool! I just love her no-nonsense, down-to-earth approach to life that is balanced just-so with his I’ll-snuggle-with-you-in-public-no-matter-who’s-looking take on their relationship. They have great senses of humor and I just can’t wait for their wedding in October. It’s going to be a blast!

They brought along their very photogenic canine Vincent to add to the fun of their session. Any dog who’s people love him so much that they treat him to doggie ice cream is a lucky dog indeed! Now on to a sneak peek at their engagement session before I wear out the hyphen key on my keyboard.

Vancouver Olympics 2010

Lindsay — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 14:08:27 +0000

Being only a couple hours away from a worldwide event like the OIympics, we couldn’t resist heading up to see for ourselves. I mean, the Olympics are something that happens in some exotic faraway land that you only watch from a distance on TV. But here they were in my backyard.

One of the US/Canada hockey games was happening that night, and when Canada scored a goal, the cheers rippled from inside the bars and into the overflowing streets filled with people straining to catch a glimpse of the action. The energy in the city was quite electric indeed!

Oplove | Free Sessions for Deployed Military Families

Lindsay — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:25:31 +0000

In honor of my Marine cousin Zach coming home from Afghanistan this weekend, I’m proud to announce I am now a participant in Operation: Love ReUnited, a non-profit organization that connects deploying, deployed, or returning military families with a professional photographer who will create artistic, poignant images in an effort to make those long months go by just a little bit faster.

And here’s the greatest part- it’s all at NO COST to the family! That’s right, it’s totally FREE to you. It’s my way of saying thank you for all you do and come home soon!

If you or your loved one is being deployed, is deployed, or is coming home soon, here’s what I offer you:

Either a Pre-Deployment or Deployment Session
A mini album of images to be sent to your deployed loved one
A Homecoming Session, with mini album of images
50% military discount on all prints and products with no obligation to purchase anything

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Your initial session will be either with your service member before he or she deploys dressed in their dress uniform or BDUs for most of the session, or if your service member has already deployed, your session will be done without your loved one keeping a patriotic theme that could include dress, hats, BDUs, boots and other military gear.

For the Homecoming Session, I will accompany your family to the welcoming home of your spouse or loved one, and capture that first glimpse, that first embrace, and all the love that surrounds every person who walks off that plane, into their families arms.

Military families are eligible for up to two sessions per year per deployment.

Please fill out this form for more detailed information or to book an Oplove session. I’m currently serving military bases in Western Washington.

Visit Operation: Love ReUnited to learn more about the organization behind it all, or to find a photographer in your area.

If you know any military families, please share this exciting news with them!

Krysta + James

After a tasty cuppa joe waiting for the rain to let up, we braved the chilly May day to grab some publicity head shots for James’ new business (more on that later). I couldn’t resist some couple shots afterwards with his lovely wife Krysta in her stylin’ new coat. Thanks for a fun time, you two!

Featured Photo Today!

One of my photos is being featured today on a fine art website! Go to wozofoto to take a look and purchase a print of your own.

I took this while I was in Miami last summer. We were hanging on by the waterfront when this sweet thundercloud started rolling in. It was quite a sight to behold!

Engagement Guest Books | Custom Designed Deliciousness

Lindsay — Tue, 25 May 2010 01:02:18 +0000

These guest books are the ultimate in fun ways to use your engagement photos! You pick your top favorite 25-30 images from your engagement session, and I’ll custom design a guest book for you to proudly display on your wedding day. Your guests will ooo and ahhh over the romantic moments of you and your sweetie. Don’t worry, if they drool on your pages, just let air dry and it’ll be as good as new!

Elegant and archival, these 6×8 lay-flat books are just like the fine art wedding album I include in every wedding collection, only they’re designed with plenty of room around the images for your guests to write you little notes of inspiration. The velvety matte paper is perfect for writing on and the vivid rich color will make your images really pop. These are just lovely and a real keepsake!
