I am a Seattle, WA based photographer celebrating life through moments captured and supported by the love of my wife Sasha and daughter Ella Rose. Besides shooting beautiful weddings, adorable families, precious little ones, cool high school grads or hip rock bands, favorite things include: Travel, music, great coffee, uninhibited laughter, vigorous bicycle rides, a top-notch glass of wine, and 18 holes with a good cigar.
My photographic journey began in the fall of 2004 with the arrival of my daughter - The early images of Ella were crude at best and simply unacceptable. As never one to settle for anything less than excellence with an artistic drive and technical aptitude derived from over 15 years experience lodged in recording studios as engineer and producer for such artists as Brandi Carlile, Death Cab for Cutie, Sleater-Kinney and a zillion more, a new passion was born to become the best photographer I could possibly be. This is a passion and journey that continues to this day.
I am available worldwide to capture your wedding, portrait, event or unique story - Please feel free to send me an email through the Connect link to tell me more about what you're looking for and how I can help!
Member of: PPA (Professional Photographers of America, WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International), and the DWF (Digital Wedding Forum).
From 2008-2009 I made a frame each and everyday of my daughter Ella. A 365 if you will, except I had to go ahead and choose to do it during a leap year resulting in this 366 book of Ella. After a year hiatus, I’ve picked up a new document of her where I make a frame of her each Saturday (she was born on a Saturday). Here’s #6 out of 52…

My true love was having a significant birthday. We deliberated over escaping to NY for a romantic weekend or spending time with friends and family. The latter was the obvious choice and I had to step up my game and throw her a party. It was an occasion people… I rocked a bow tie for the first time and Ms. Thang sported red 3.5″ red patent heels. Whoomp there it is.
Um… Meow.
Ok. I was the client here and I elected to have my FOTO FUN BOOTH™ as part of the action. If you were having a party or significant event wouldn’t you?!!
Throughout the evening there were quotes displayed in a slideshow that I’d gathered from some of Sasha’s closest friends, family, loved ones and yours truly about what Sasha means to us as a friend, mother, daughter, wife, etc.
And here is a photo retrospective of some of her 40 years. I doesn’t even begin to capture the good times, epic adventures, wonderful friends and amazing family, but…
Sasha -Simply one of the best days of my life (add it to meeting you, marrying you and the birth of our beautiful Ella)! I love you more than words can ever communicate.January 30, 2010 – 9:44 am

Mary Wildenhaus -Kip, I loved all the pictures and especially the video of Sasha. I can tell that we missed one great party. Had we not been 1300 miles away, sharing this birthday with Sasha, family and friends would have been a truly memorable occasion. You and Sasha are lucky to have found each other!January 31, 2010 – 11:17 pm
T$ -Oh…how I loved attending this soiree vicariously via the gorgeous photos. Sassy — you made your nickname proud with your killer shoes, cute dress and presh new hair!
Kipper — you clearly put so much time into this to make sure every detail was personal and special and uniquely Sasha!
I would ask for a do-over when we are together in Chile, but I think that would be impossible. But…BTW, were those RED VELVET cupcakes??????
Cheers and Happy Birthday to an amazing friend, devoted mother and one good salt-of-the earth person. Wish there were more like you! xoxoxoFebruary 1, 2010 – 5:14 pm
kristen-YESSSSS this looked like so much fun! what a great husband.
I don’t know if it was the invite, but I thought it was the menu for the night cause it said “salud” and I thought it was a cool way to spell “salad”.February 2, 2010 – 2:26 am
