Vida and Austin were married on September 12th in Portland’s Peninsula park. It was a glorious sun-filled afternoon, a rarity in the Northwest this year, and a lovely day for an outdoor ceremony. We rendezvoused with the couple downtown at the Doubletree and once they were dressed, we all headed out to the park so we could [...]
This week’s Happy Halloween Cookie Friday is brought to you by Coffee to a Tea with the Sugar Rush Baking Company. That’s like a mouthful times five when it comes to names for a coffee joint. Since we stumbled on this place while strolling along California Avenue in West Seattle rather than reading or [...]
The problem with taking the camera everywhere we go is that I have this constant backlog of photos to process and blogs to be written. I was going through my summertime photos, as I very often do in the dismal, dreary wintertime here in the Puget Sound, and was looking for proof that yes, Virginia, [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Tall Grass Bakery in Ballard. When I say the word “bakery,” I mean there’s hard core bakerying going on in that joint, all day long (open til 7pm). Tall Grass uses all organic and as local as possible ingredients. Our first visit to Tall Grass [...]
On August 7th we drove down to the Canterwood Country Club in Gig Harbor to photograph Kendal and Zack’s wedding. For the majority of the summer the Northwest weather was very uncooperative, and this day was no exception.

My first experience with Wild Ginger was through the back door, or the Triple Door, to be more precise. As pretty as the interior of Wild Ginger is, I have to say that a Triple Door experience is about as good as it gets in Seattle. Wild Ginger food and Triple Door seating makes any [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Cafe Besalu in Ballard. There’s not a lot of information on their website, but I can tell you this: they’re open from 7-3 Wednesday through Sunday and seem to be packed the entire time. They claim to have the best croissants this side of [...]
In late July, Katie and Patrick were married in Portland on a beautiful summer day. Their ceremony was held at the lovely Sacred Heart Catholic Church in the Northwest section of the city. Katie’s sisters and brothers were in force for the wedding, along with guests from as far away as England. The sun bursting through the beautiful [...]
When I was a child we summered on Varadero Beach in Cuba, cruising for cookies at Club Med, frolicking with Fidel on Fridays, snorkeling in the cerulean seas on Saturdays, cavorting in the crepuscular caves on…. Ok, since there’s not a day of the week that starts with “C,” here’s where I say no, no [...]
