Update: I got laid off from my job at Sears. My manager claimed that there was a problem with my availability even though it hadn't changed since I was hired. That is the bad news. The good news is that before I got laid off, I got the chance to get certified to be a photographer! So I'm now a certified photographer :) I got my own business cards made for free (I was only allowed 5 free ones, and had to pay for the others) and I'm still taking pictures. I was asked to take my friend's engagement pictures as soon as the weather is nice enough, and I'm excited to do them.

Here are some pictures that I took on a recent trip to Seattle. The weather wasn't great, but it made the city look beautiful!

I'm currently employed at the Sears Portrait Studio in Lacey. Chris and Stephanie brought Noah in, and Kim and Isabella came in the same day to help support me and give me more practice.

I got the chance to take Kim's senior pictures at my studio.
Here are a few of our top favorites.

Just a few random photos that I've always loved. I used a few of these for my senior project.

The Wedding!

I was asked to be the photographer of one of my oldest friend's brother's wedding reception. Here are some of the pictures of the Alexander Wedding 2007

This is my cousin Noah at about nine months hanging out in Aunt Marlyn's hammock on afternoon. Such a cute little guy!

Here are some pictures of down town Olympia, WA.

This past summer, I had the opportunity to take my cousin Kyle's senior pictures. Here are a few of our favorite shots.
