Last week was madness. Filled it with a trip to Orlando for a few meetings. But the beautiful part… we found this gem of a place in Mukilteo upon my return home. Diamond Know Brewery. Holy moly. Do yourself a favor and go tomorrow.

Reason # 7,342 that the PNW is absurdly better than most places.

Oh, and the polaroid… throwin’ it back to my first camera experience when my friend and I would take snaps of ourselves and send them to our AOL girlfriends. True Story.

See ya next Monday. Til then… find something awesome to do with your week–which obviously won’t include things like watching The Bachelor, buying a Kia or punching kittens.

Peace.

We shot the wedding of Luke+Whitney over New Years in Nebraska. It was a fantastic time indeed. We couldn’t have thought of a better way to kick off the weekly, than with a glimpse into the world of glorious details, beautiful smiles and a few rad peeps.

Mustaches make me smile.

So good.

new adventures.

I have never been good at running a blog. There. I said it. The moment you create a space like this, you welcome the expectation of regular content. But therein lies the problem.

I’m about as faithful to a blog as I am to eating vegetables and running marathons. It just doesn’t happen.

But, oh my friends, times’are’a'changin’.

Let me introduce to you our new little friend. THE WEEKLY. He’s so cute, isn’t he?

Here’s how this shakes down. Every week-12 images. From. That. Week.

I’ve found that in the pursuit of wanting to blog images from all of the countless shoots that we do, I quickly came entirely burnt out on the process. And if I’m totally honest, the woes of business have in many ways killed my desire to do what I love to do.

Take damn good photographs.

So this new format… it will hold images 12 images from every week and serve as a reminder for me to keep taking them-even when my finger hurts from already pushing the shutter so many times. My hope is to yet again see the world anew. To take stunning photographs not simply as a profession, but as a lifestyle.

We’ll feature work from our clients, absurd photographs from our daily lives, inspiring places that we visit and anything else that seems to mingle it’s way here.

Life is an adventure. One worth documenting, living into and breathing deeply with.

Here’s to creating a new space that will reminder me (and hopefully you) to live as fully as we can.
Cheers friend.
