Tonight I was commissioned to head down to the Highway 99 Blues Club and photograph up and coming Blues band The Dudley Taft Blues Overkill. Lead by the fine fingered fretwork of Mr. Taft, the band is rounded out by Evan Sheely on bass, Scott Vogel on drums and Patrick Napper on vocals, percussion and trumpet.

I recently shot expectant mother Kerrin and partner Alli in their Renton, WA home. At the time of the shoot, Kerrin was about 30 weeks pregnant with baby Jackson and was the perfect combination of comfortably mobile while showing a BIG bump!
The session was a combination of lenses (50mm f/1.4, 17mm-55mm f/2.8, and 70mm-200 f/2.8) and a mix of natural light and strobe provided by my Alien Bees AB-800 and the Softlighter II. Both Kerrin and Alli were incredibly open to trying out ideas and very patient throughout the entire session.
As their due date approaches, I would like to wish them the best and thank them for the opportunity to capture this amazing moment in their lives. Smooches gals!

Today’s shoot brought me to the Metropolitan Park West building for a quick session with big time radio personality Fitz of 100.7 The Wolf’s Fitz in the Morning show. I was working alone and we were on a relatively tight time frame, so we worked in one basic location that made itself evident during a quick preliminary scout of the location.
Fitz is a very easy going guy and has no problem engaging the camera. This shoot was pure natural light and the beauty of my Nikon D300 and a flawless Nikkor 105mm f/2.8.
