Wedding Portraits & JK│Jewel Kade Stylist Photo Shoot-06/12/2011 West Seattle, Washington Photographer

I was soooo tired but this was soooo worth it!!!!!!! Waking up at 4AM to get the good sunlight was tough, but, anything to get the shots, right? It was SUCH a fun day despite the early-ness. Not only did I get to hold and feel the energy of this gorgeous jewelry from JK│Jewel Kade, I had two gorgeous women to take pictures of!! Hard right?!?! Good Lord I love my job!! I have to hand it to Annmarie and Desire though, professionals through and through, not to mention two of my very best friends in this world. Biased opinion? I think NOT! I guarantee you, if you met them, not only would you see their outer beauty (it's impossible to deny!) but you would instantly see their inner beauty and be magnetically drawn to them. I have the honor and privilege to call my 'sisters' and am so proud of the women they have become. I{love}you dolls!!
As for the jewelry, it is all so beautiful that picking one to call your very own is SO tough...trust me, I know. If you are interested in some JK for your very own, the lovely Annmarie is a JK│Jewel Kade Stylist and would LOVE to hook you up. Host a show! I promise you won't be disappointed! Just go to www.jewelkade.com/annmarie to learn all about it! In the mean time, take a look at the photos I got of these two beauties!! CHEERS!

"No Road Home" A Novel By Brian Stockwell-Book Release and Author Signing 06/11/2011, Monroe, WA

"Suddenly, a still, small voice spoke deep inside her heart, and its message rang clear and true, like the bell of harmony that had always eluded her. "Don't worry, Addanen," it whispered, "when the time is right, I will give you the right words to say."
For you, a small glimpse into the wondrous novel, "No Road Home", by Brian Stockwell; a great man, my Father-In-Law, my friend.

"Joyous Occasion" is an understatement for this day. For today, 06/11/2011, a dream has come true. For years, Brian (or as we call him in our household, Grandpa Brian) had this incredible story in his head, piecing it together and making it perfect, all the while working so very diligently for the Lord. As a foreman for the Railroad, I am sure you can imagine there is not much time to sit and type a novel, however, because it was his calling from God, Brian found every extra second to tell this story and bring it to life. I, as well as many others, can attest that "No Road Home" is a definite "must read".

If you are interested in purchasing "No Road Home", please go to www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore and search "No Road Home." I promise you will NOT be disappointed but rather captivated by the story of young Addanen.

Grandpa Brian, you are such an inspiration to me and my little family and I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of you. Here is to many more of your great stories! CHEERS!

Hap and Pam Hopper-Wedding Reception Photos-06/05/2011, Renton, Washington Photographer

This day was immensely special to me and our family. We got to share a very special occasion; Uncle Hap and Aunt Pam's wedding reception. After getting married in the great state of Arizona in February 2011, they had the chance to come up to Washington State and celebrate with close family and friends. Though we didn't get to be at the wedding in person, we were able to watch it on video and let me tell you, the Lord's presence was at this marriage. It was very clear that the Lord our God was running the show. His gentleness and love was being shared throughout the church and it was evident that he was blessing this union. And in watching Uncle Hap and our new Aunt Pam, the Lord is number one in their lives and, being a fellow Christian myself, it warmed my heart and brought a tear to my eye. You just don't see that this day and age. Congrats to Hap and Pam! We all are so very happy for you both! Here are a few pictures that I shot of these two very special people on this special day.

Dylan Mandt-Renton Senior Portraits Session 06/04/2011

This photo shoot was rather surreal to me. It features a wonderful young man named Dylan whom I have the pleasure of calling family. I met Dylan roughly 8 years ago and have watched him grow from a bright-eyed, curious, and energetic little boy to a sweet, respectful, and well mannered young man. We had a blast going through Issaquah shooting at various spots throughout and roughly 4 hours later, we got some really great shots. I hope Dylan (and my Auntie Sonia) enjoy the outcome just as much as I enjoyed spending the day with them. Dylan, you are such a cut above the rest. I hope you know how refreshing it is to experience that. CHEERS!!
