Austin - Dancer & Instructor - Personal Branding - Downtown, Seattle

August 13, 2018

My friend Austin is an awesome dancer, instructor and SEO/tech guru. I jokingly call him "Austin Timberlake" because he's so similar in appearance to Justin. We met thrugh the Brazilian Zouk community here in Seattle but he predominantly teaches/dances micro, fusion , blues & west coast swing.

He is a super positive guy and is always pursuing his ability to connect and uplift other dancers, students and fellow humans. Glad to have spent the evening with him to get these fun head shots & personal branding portraits for his online presence. I'm going to miss you when you move! Hope to dance with you again soon, my dude!

Laura - Circus Performer & Blogger - Personal Branding - Pioneer Square, Seattle

August 13, 2018

I am SO freaking grateful to have met & worked with my incredible, badass personal branding client, Laura. She just moved to Seattle from Georgia to pursue her life as a circus performer & aerial acrobatics instructor at Emerald City Trapeze.

In addition to being a great performer and teacher, Laura is building her personal brand as a writer/blogger. She's going to start a lifestyle oriented blog that incorporates health + fitness, circus life, travel, finances, writing & more.

It's mega inspiring working with my fellow young female entrepreneurs killing the game. I love getting the chance to experience the lives of others and how many unique careers and paths we all take.

I really wanted to show both sides of Laura's life in these photos. I had an amazing time sporadically getting Laura to do sweet gymnastic tricks and poses for the photos. It was so fun to see people's reactions. How often do you see a girl do a full split or back bend in public? SOOOO COOL!

I eagerly await your blog, Laura and I hope to see you perform a full aerial show soon! Thank you for being such a fun, sweet, strong, dedicated, kindhearted person :) The world needs more people like you!

Kathleen - Senior Portraits - Seattle Waterfront

June 11, 2018

Kathleen is a soon to be Marketing major graduate of Seattle University. She's originally from Singapore and was active in different activities, honor society and her sorority.

We had a blast shooting on the waterfront by the Ferris wheel in downtown Seattle. It was a mega busy Saturday night with a lot of prom going teenagers hanging about, but Kathleen was super patient with the portrait process and me doing crazy poses to crop people out as I was photographing her :) Really need to have someone do a behind the scenes of me working with my clients because I can look pretty dang cray with my squats and stance.

Kathleen has great style and was wearing some awesome rings and opal hoop earrings I was seriously envious of! She did glam sunset inspired eye makeup on herself too which went amazing with our sunset on the waterfront vibe.
