Pike Place Market is one of those iconic, albeit touristy, parts of Seattle that I just can't fall out of love with. No matter the season, it's always a vibrant and bustling part of the city that I just love strolling through to sample some fresh cut fruit, chat with vendors, listen to buskers, and of course watch the crowd gather around for the famous fish
Travel photos from a day trip to Port Orchard and Bremerton, Washington including a ferry ride.
Living in Seattle, we are incredibly lucky to be just a stone's throw away from British Columbia. The Canada border is a mere 2.5 hour drive north from Seattle, and most of the time it's a relatively peaceful and scenic drive. This past 4th of July, Martin and I took our annual Independence Day road trip north to B.C. Previous years saw us go south
I spent the first couple weeks of March backpacking around Thailand on a mostly-solo trip through Bangkok and Krabi. While it wasn't my first time traveling alone or traveling through Southeast Asia, it was my first time visiting Thailand. The trip was a much needed period of relaxation, adventure, and reflection that spurred lots of interesting travel stories, including having my passport stolen in Bangkok and
This fall trip to Hawaii has been full of work, from shooting 2 food festivals and documenting 13 farmers and their farms. It's been hard to find the time to take a break from working, but before my trip drew to a close, I was determined to get outdoors and tackle the Lanikai Pillboxes hike on Windward Oahu to get those postcard photo shots I'd
Among the most fun days of a freelance photographer is the opportunity to travel and take photos. When I was contacted about the possibility of photographing Real Housewives of Miami star Adriana De Moura in Seattle, I assumed it would be a quick and simple fashion shoot, probably at her hotel at the Four Seasons. The last thing I was expecting was to spend the
Looking for a quick trip out of town for less than a day? Consider Samish Bay! Last weekend, I found myself skimming through a hard copy of Seattle Weekly, something I haven't done in ages. Naturally, the food & drink section caught and held my attention the longest, mostly because of one article whose headline made me start drooling. "Quest for the Perfect (Oyster) Picnic: A
The benefit to starting photo editing of a night's work at 12 midnight is the rare chance to see and shoot an epic thunder and lightning show that illuminated Seattle's sky late Friday night/early Saturday morning. Beginning shortly after midnight, I could see the lightning streaks bolt through the sky out of the corner of my eye as I was working in PhotoShop. Finally, my
Photos from an epic 4th of July weekend to the Oregon coast. Beginning on the 4th of July, we drove south on Highway 101, stopping in Tillamook and at various points along the way before making it to The Whaler Motel in Newport to watch the fireworks and stroll along Nye Beach. The next morning, we made our way further south to Florence, where we
If you ever think traveling within the United States is boring, you need to visit Alaska--also, if you ever get an invitation to visit Alaska by cruise ship, your only answer is "yes!" While I was definitely excited to be visiting a new place, I generally get more excited if that place will also earn me a new passport stamp. However, even from aboard a
