Chelsey is amazingly gorgeous (I did say that in my last post, didn’t I?)! She made my job very easy. Rarely do you find a subject that so easily takes directions. 
It really paid off to get up at 6 in the morning to do the shoot. The sun was sweet.
Chelsey is a not only a high school graduate, but also a running start student, at Lower Columbia College. We had to make sure to stop by and grab a few images there—otherwise the session would not have been complete. We lucked out—we got caught by the security guard… Instead of kicking us off campus he let me borrow his cart…
When I heard what one of Chelsey’s passions is (foreign languages and travel), I knew exactly what I wanted to do. The girl is super smart! Just look at all the dictionaries and books she has. The only other person that I know has big books like this (and bigger : )) is myself… maybe that was the reason I had so much fun doing Chelsey’s session 
And I will finish off with another gorgeous shot of my Super-Model…
Chelsey it was such a pleasure to do your session! I hope you have an amazing future… and when you become our country’s President, please remember me : )

I am one happy photographer. I had shot a wedding yesterday, and a senior session this morning. I am surrounded by beautiful people.
Today’s session was shot at Willowgrove (Longview, WA). The weather could not have been more amazing than it was at 7:30 a.m. The person that I shot was even more gorgeous. Chelsey is graduating from Kelso High School this year, and she could not be more excited. She is smart, beautiful, and to top it all off–an aspiring vegan who has been to Russia! How awesome is all this? Chelsey is planning to travel around the world and conquer not only countries with her charm, but their languages as well (just wait until you see what I am talking about…).
I am adding only a couple of images from the session, and there are a few more to come, so make sure to come back 
Have a great Sunday!

Today I had an amazing opportunity to shoot a wedding with a local photography whose work I deeply respect–Jenica Lemmons of Lemon Drops Photography. We had an amazing time with Anne and Jimmy. I am extremely tired and have a Senior Shoot in the morning, but wanted to share a couple of images from today, that are absolutely stunning. Enjoy! I will post a lot more in the next couple of days.
What a gorgeous couple. They were amazing in every way. It was such a pleasure to be a part of their special day.

In addition to loving what I do when it comes to photography, I am also passionate about getting people well through the means of nutrition. When it comes to my diet, I am raw vegan (high raw, which means that I occasionally do it cooked foods).
The lifestyle has done wonders for my and Demetrye’s health, since we became vegan over 2.5 years ago, so we are pleased to share our knowledge with as many as will listen. You can read more about our journey on my nutrition blog: Eat Healthy!!! Be Happy!!!
A few months ago I organized a local wellness group called: Eat Healthy Be Happy Wellness Society. My goal for the group is not to only provide support for people who are changing their life through nutrition, and to meet people, but also to educate our community about practicality of a whole foods diet.
We just came back home from our third monthly meet-up. Here just a couple of images to show you what we vegans get to enjoy on regular basis.
This is zucchini noodles, and they taste better than they sound–trust me on that.
Below image is my recent creation–Energy Bites–chocolate covered dessert that is packed with a kick of energy that will give you a boost for a great workout or just to please your taste buds and make your mouth water every time you think about them.
I am off to bed now! Tomorrow I am shooting a wedding in Austoria, WA, as a second shooter with a wonderful local photographer (I will tell you more about that later ).
Good night, world!
