Rose contacted me last summer about collaborating on a lifestyle shoot for her popular fashion blog The Haute Looks. After meeting with Rose I was incredibly impressed. Not only does she have great style but she has quite the following...
When I was in San Francisco last September I ran across this incredible ribbon store in Laurel Heights called The Ribbonerie. They happened to carry a ribbon of my family tartan all the way from Edinburgh (MacKenzie..my maiden name)...
When Cassandra La Valle asked if I would photograph a tabletop she put together for a holiday post for her incredibly popular design blog Coco+Kelley I jumped at the chance. In the off season it's nice to take my wedding photographer hat off and work on fun editorials...
I had the great pleasure of meeting Kate and Chloe of Fat Cork at a local industry event in Seattle. We talked all things Champagne and how they are opening up Fat Cork’s tasting room to host bridal showers, bridesmaid luncheons, and bachelorette parties. I of course jumped at the chance to photograph the mock bridal shower they wanted to put on to help get the word out to all our fabulous Seattle Brides. Kate and Chloe did a lovely job. Those two sure know their stuff when it comes...

A few rain drops in the morning couldn’t stop the fun and later as the skies cleared more and more people stopped by for...

This past November I had the great pleasure of attending a fabulous 30th birthday party for my dear friend Kara Burfeind.

Kara used Rachel the pig, who is the unofficial mascot of the market, as inspiration for her favor boxes that contained two beautiful macaroons made by The Sweet Side of course;) She also made her stunning cake that was chocolate and coconut…..so yummy! It was...
