So I have to give huge props to Jeremiah when it comes to his participation in this session.
It was the first time that I had an opportunity to meet him since Richelle had hired me back in January while he was in Afghanistan. He had just gotten home, not more than a week, before our [...]
Concepts for engagement sessions often times just come to me, often out of the blue. I send out a questionnaire to my clients prior to their session that asks a lot of odd ball questions. I’m constantly tweaking my questionnaire, but essentially it gives me a fuller picture of the personality of the couple, what [...]
I’m just going to get this out of the way. I feel cool by association by just knowing Christabelle and Jeff. Christabelle is fantastically gorgeous, beyond sweet, genuine and very smart. Jeff is a little more quiet and reserved at first, but a gentleman and just an all around nice guy. One of the things that [...]
A few days ago I wrote a blog post about how my photography isn’t all about photoshop. I truly believe that in order to provide a strong final product, you have to have a strong raw product to begin with. Too many photographers are scared to show their straight out of camera shots. It’s kind [...]

A few months ago, Seattle Bride Magazine did an article for the Fall/Winter 2009 edition of the magazine that was really eye opening. They sent a guy who was “pretty handy with a camera” off with the true professionals at John & Joseph Photography to articulate the differences in what a consumer would get with [...]
Last Monday night I had an AMAZING time with two people whom I’ve come to adore! Ryan and Katie are getting married this September (stay tuned… their wedding will be amazing) and we went out to do their engagement session in downtown Seattle.
When doing engagement sessions, I often ask my clients – Why are we [...]
OK… I swear I have a reason for not blogging this before now… Pretty much, I’m up to my eye balls in images over the last 3 months. I think we have a back log of approximately 30,000 images to wade through which is why I am sooooooooo far behind in my blogging.
Krystal and Jesse’s [...]
