A Little/Big Announcement & His Royal Cuteness, Jack

Apologies for the lag time between posts. I’m finally feeling back to my normal self (aside from my ever growing midsection and the light kicks taking place within) after a four month hangover caused by the she-spawn in my belly. Yes, that’s right. The Brinckos are having a baby girl this summer! Pretty exciting stuff, [...]

Maternity/Baby Portraits: A flash and a bump in the woods

With a new baby on the way and an almost-two-year-old growing and learning new things every day, my friend, Teresa (“Tre” to me), decided it was a good time to hit pause and capture a key moment in her personal history.  After doing some photographs of/with the oh-so-cute Kyra (it probably won’t come as a surprise, but this lil’ lady has [...]

Maternity & Newborn Photos: The cutest lil’ Mufinn

Sure, I leave shoots gitty excited about photographs (I usually have to pull over on the way home to review because I just can’t wait), but I also leave with an extra spring in my step after spending a nice chunk of quality time with amazing people. Not only did I leave my maternity shoot with Myrna (mom) and Mia [...]

Portraits: National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness and Prevention Month!

For those of you who don’t know, I am extremely protective of my family and friends. Also, in case you didn’t know, my brother, 30, has a bi-lateral cleft lip and palate. Although it has been a lifetime of frustrations, in the past year they have bubbled over. It took four years for my brother’s [...]

Childrens Portraits: Landon the Tornado

I was reminded of one of my all-time favorite cartoon characters, the Tasmanian Devil, when the door opened. Just like a Taz tornado, but a much more smiley and friendly version, Landon came spinning out. When he stopped twirling, he greeted me with a loud, long “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” and stood there, blue eyes wide with welcome, [...]

Children’s Portraits: Lil’ homies at the beach

It’s crazy how fast kids grow up. I did portraits of Elyan & Silas a little over a year ago and, I swear, they have already sprouted up a foot each. At the same time, they are very much the same boys. Elyan was going a million miles an hour, crawling through tunnels in sand forts, playing with toys, and talking my [...]

Zoe

World, meet Zoe. She’s beyond awesome. I had a grand ol time running around Gas Works Park in Seattle with her and her dad, Carlos.  After I sent him their final album, he replied with, “Very impressed. You really captured how Zoe and I feel about each other!” Aw. PS: The bottom photograph is my [...]

Silas “the destroyer” turns 2

Last weekend, I had a little down time from portrait and wedding shoots. So, I set aside my digital camera and picked up film. In need of subjects, I barged in (I’m being dramatic. The birthday boy’s parents are my good friends) on a 2-year-old’s birthday party and fired off a few rolls. Below are a [...]

Vashon

I pretty much died and went to hpk heaven out on Vashon Island a few weeks ago at a workshop hosted by Heather and Jon of One Love Photo.  We ate delicious, healthy food in a rustic island cabin, chatted about all things photography, did a couple shoots, and even learned how to do encaustic projects. I walked [...]

Ava Part 1

Of course I was honored when my cousin, Leana, flew in from NY and enlisted my services to photograph her oh-so-ridiculously-cute daughter, Ava. Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma also got in on the action for a HUGE action-packed family shoot.  I’m going to have to break up this post into two parts. Below is part [...]
