What an amazing few days. Damien played at Point FMR in Paris with Tom Brosseau [accompanied by Portland artist Shelley Short] and Bowerbirds, which would be a killer lineup anywhere, let alone to see such dear humans in France. We then proceeded the Netherlands, where we had the chance to spend time with...

Cottage Grove
The day after our one year anniversary, Damien and I headed to southern Oregon to record his next album. Producer/musician/genius/dj/labelmate/awesome human Richard Swift had signed on to help him bring it to life. But the city, the studio, the Swift home… all of it held more magic than we could’ve imagined. We...
Launch Party at Licorous
Argentina444 continues to establish itself as the purveyor of the best of all things. Empanadas flown up from Los Angeles, tango dancers flown up from Buenos Aires, and the all-star roster of chefs from LA, San Francisco, Buenos Aires, and right here in Seattle. Everyone shared their enthusiasm for the upcoming trips +...
Melanie + Brad

Even having witnessed this connection, I was blown away on their wedding day by their...
The New Guard
When summer was still in full swing, my dear Whitney took me to lunch. As we sipped lavender lemonade + snacked on seared scallops, she presented an idea to me. A far away fall evening to be the first of a series, with a dinner party featuring Seattle’s up and coming culinary talent....
Ode to Joy
When I first began taking photos, I had a completely different muse. I suppose it’s all the same impulse: to tell a story. But those first stories I was dying to tell were ones of youthful celebrations, beauty, late nights, loud shows, and dancing. My first images were almost exclusively… party...
Carolyn
On a Sunday afternoon that should’ve been rainy but wasn’t, Carolyn and I took advantage of the good weather + captured her senior portraits. She’s whip smart, a natural in front of the camera, and has great taste in music to boot. She even indulged my stories of senior year + how much...
Jenna + Billy
They say rain is good luck on your wedding day; our dear friends Billy + Jenna had good luck in spades. It poured all morning the day of their [mainly outdoor] wedding. But wouldn’t you know it, just as the ceremony began, there were clear skies. They lasted all the way until...
