Kayla Boehme, Designer "Deer John" - Issaquah, Wa.

This was most definitely one of my favorite sets that Kayla and I collaborated on. I was a little reluctant to ask her how she felt about the taxidermy'd deer head... but I really wanted to incorporate it, so I just laid it out. And without hesitation, she was down! Haha. I'm overly pleased with how these photos turned out... I see more plain white walls, props, and beautiful people in my photography future.

"Vintage Christian Dior Sunnies, Elizabeth and James Top, Moon Raven

Design "Raven" Necklace, Random other necklaces, Vintage Donna Karen Pants,

TopShop belt, Joan and David oxfords

I found these pants at the good ole West Seattle Senior Center that came with

a matching top for $6, and if that isn't a good enough deal it was their monthly

sale so everything was an additional 20% off! (also where my boyfirend coined

the term OLS for me old lady syndrome) I love Donna Karen circa 1990, she is still

great, but something about her earlier work just makes me think of the classic

"power suit woman".

I love antlers and deer, so when AJ asked me if I thought it was weird

to incorporate these horns and taxidermy deer head I was thrilled!

These photos

were AJ and I's favorite of the bunch...

Photography by: AJ Ragasa. I can't say enough what an

amazing job he did, check him out!"

Phirom & Jess - Ravenna, Seattle, Wa.

Phirom and her girlfriend Jess had planned to go to The Nutcracker, and so they figured, if we're going to get all dressed up, we might as well have photos done too! This particular shoot was more than fast... it's beyond me how I managed to fit so many shots in such a small time frame, haha... but it happened! And here they are...

Etsy for Urban XChange - Tacoma, Wa.

Here's another Etsy set I did with Brooke early last month. Check out the Esty shop here!

DELI + Nudie Jeans Co.

I rarely shoot events, let alone ones that are held in bars or clubs, but I'll make exceptions for only two reasons: (1) if the event is private, (2) or it's for fashion's sake. And this event fulfilled both requirements! I responded to a tweet that Max, the owner of DELI, sent out looking for a photographer for a private Nudie Jeans Co. event. I quickly replied. It was held at MOE Bar on Capitol Hill and I also shot photos for the pop-up shop inside DELI.

SoCal - 2010

I went to down to Southern California for my cousin Shela's wedding. I never really have high expectations when I go there to visit, because of the amount of family that I have in SoCal, it's rarely a vacation. But it was great to escape Seattle's wet & cold weather. And all in all, it's always nice to visit my family! And I ended up seeing my grandpa, who served in the Vietnam War, on Veteran's Day! First time ever :]
