Photo of the Month - July 2013

These two look like they were having a little conversation.  They've been coming around since they were spikes.  It's wonderful to see that they are growing and healthy.

I was so lucky to take some time off and go into the nearby Snoqualmie valley and take some images during the recent week of heavy fog.  As a local Bellevue portrait photographer, it's a refreshing rejuvenation of creativity that only transcends into my work with my portrait clients.

I decided to take advantage of the thick fog we've had the past week.  Fog can make an image look flat, but also very ethereal and that's what I love about it.  It's a built in prop that evokes mood and can change an image and scene entirely.  These images were taken in the heavy fog of the Snoqualmie valley.

The other day while on my winter photo stroll, I went up to the falls since I was in the area.  Everything within view was frozen.  All the leaves and trees around me were coated with a thick layer of ice.  You could  peel the half inch of ice coating the leaves if you are careful and hold in your hand nature's ice sculpture of the leaf impression.  Pretty amazing!

I normally don't hold photo sessions in the rain, unless it's a session I've conceptualized with the client, or from a "Day in the Life" photo session and it's been a while since I got so wet photographing.  The splash back from the falls left my down jacket soaked and caused my lens to hunt for focus.  I was able to capture one wide angle image, which shows the rock wall to the left covered in ice from the spray.

The beautiful fall colors make great backdrops for holiday family photos.  The rich hues of burgundy, orange and yellows with a splash of green add a lot of punch and texture this time of year.
