Introducing Emerging Singer/Songwriter Shelby Adams {Promo Fashion Shoot, Olympia, WA}

Some people just HAVE it.  You know, the elusive “IT” factor–that thing all stellar people possess.  Well, this darling young woman has “IT” by the buckets.  Shelby has such an inCREDible voice!  And lucky for me (and those in the Olympia area) Shelby will be playing at my studio –The Steam Plant (113 Thurston Ave NE, Oly) on Friday, April 26th during ArtsWalk.  Make sure you come by for a listen… time well spent, I promise : )  Look forward to seeing you soon!  Cheers to you Shelby!

Summer Sizzling, Engagement Portrait Session, Olympia, WA

I love the feel of the sun on my skin.  It instantly calms me.  So I’ve been celebrating each day this week as the sun makes her glorious appearance.  It was a perfect evening for an engagement session as Laura, Ron and I headed out.  Nearly 83 degrees, we all agreed that a refreshing, cool cocktail would likely be the best way to begin our session.  (I love these two immensely…)  Entering The Brotherhood –a perfect little hideaway: cool, dark and sexy. Grey Goose martinis, tart olives and rum for Ron, done and done.  We then braced ourselves for the warmth and spent the rest of the evening smiling.  Who wouldn’t be smiling with friends who break out a bottle of Macallan 25 year old scotch… The glowing illumination of Glassy Babies and the outdoor fire place was as close to a perfect way to end and evening as it comes–thanks to Susan and Scott for their gracious hospitality.  I can’t wait to photograph their wedding celebration at the Olympia Golf & Country Club next month–it’s going to be all kinds of crazy, in the very best way : )  Cheers to you both!
