Today, I was inspired to create a composite image from some images I shot quite a while ago. I worked with Toma a fair bit while we both lived in Anchorage, Alaska. She's an absolute delight to work with and we had a lot of fun together on all our shoots. Nothing was too crazy to try and it was often difficult to pick our favorite images from each session. Our Harlequin Romance series was one of my favorites. We had the benefit of the skill and talent of her friend Yulia, who is a professional body & face painter.
This was one of those sessions where all the pieces came together and today, all the pieces came together once more. I love the effect, the smoke (which I shot at an entirely different time) creates with this shot.

Today, was one of those beautiful days in Seattle that makes living here such a joy. Hard to believe it's February with the flowers blooming like April. I had a lovely time with Charles and Amanda at Gas Works Park, taking some photographs to celebrate their engagement.

There are just some things that can't be done indoors! The Lighting Essentials workshop hit the beach on an overcast, Seattle weekend with a handful of models in tow. The clouds had enough texture, that with some creative lighting techniques we were able to bring in the detail and create a nice mood.
Kenzie's bright red jacket, created a great contrast against the gray sky. Her high fashion posing helped create this fun image.
The Pacific Northwest has some wacky weather, but if you're brave enough you can get out and create some unique shots!
