Lake Union Cafe Wedding
Here is a quick video of a recent wedding shoot at the Lake Union Cafe in Seattle. My favorite is the one of David and Alyce under the bridge!

Lens Baby, Baby!
One of our new “toys” is the new lensbaby composer. This is a wacky lens that bends and twists, and purposefully creates a motion blur effect. We are excited to use this on our 2009 High School Senior portraits and perhaps some daring parents and business professionals.

Spring Day with Daddy 2009
Here’s a personal video of a day with my two kids. We went to Edmonds Beach and our favorite forest walk at Yost Park. What a beautiful day!
New Easter Designer Cards!
We have lots of exciting new things for Easter this year, including designer cards for your bunny session! Here are some examples with my kids playing around with one our bunnies, Barley.
Bunny Portraits
We are now booking our Live Bunny Portraits! We made some of our first appointments yesterday, and our first postcards are about to go out! Give us a call soon to get the best times! We will start March 10th.
Ok, so now I’ve gone nuts. I’ve created a monster that I hope I can keep up with! Yesterday, I joined BizNik and LinkedIn. We are working on our Facebook after the success of our Myspace. We are on MerchantCircle and just sent out our first email newsletter – whew! I feel like I’m a full time on-line social networker! We are also working with Animoto for our video uploads to YouTube, which are really cool! Thankfully, I had a chance to connect “for real” at a Smokey Point Chamber event at the new Medallion Hotel, and than heard Mayor Kendall give a state of city address this morning at the Marysville Chamber Breakfast (hmmm…sausages and Tabasco…)
Going Green

New Equipment Announcement
One of the biggest buzz words in the media (besides our failing economy), is ”going green”, and it’s everywhere! Here’s are recent part to play: Our new printing equipment investment is a Noritsu D701, and we are the first in the area to have one installed! It has been real great so far, and gives us better color control – saves on energy costs, and no more mixing toxic chemicals – whoohoo! It just passed its first “test” with flying colors, printing almost 900 orders for the Marysville Parks & Rec Basketball shoot. To be honest, we are far from being a 100% “green” business, and like most small businesses, don’t have the resources to make it happen instantly. But, we do care, and are conscience of our role of stewardship. Here’s to a huge step in the right direction!
