July 28, 2011 -- Summer wedding season has been crazy busy (in a very good way!). And it looks like 2012 is going to be a busy year, too! Recently, I visited the Burke Museum of Natural History in Seattle to view my Wolf Haven wolf photos in action. I'm shown here with my wolf "mood setting banners." The inset is of one of the exhibit signs (that particular wolf image also appears on exhibit posters and promotional materials).
 

July 23, 2011 -- Hope to see you at the Cutting Garden's Bridal Open House, tomorrow (Sunday) July 24 from 11:00 -3:00!
 

May 26, 2011 -- Wedding season is now in full swing! Last weekend I had the honor of photographing an incredibly beautiful wedding here in Sequim. The ceremony and high tea were at the historic Dungeness School House (shown here) and the reception took place at the Purple Haze Lavender Farm. Check out my wedding photo gallery to see more photos!

MAY 2, 2011 -- Just returned from spending a couple of days at Wolf Haven photographing its beautiful residents for their spring 2011 adoption photos and the 2012 wolf calendar. Wolf Haven is heaven on earth, in my opinion. This photo is of a male wolf named Myta Jr. He's a little round about the waist, but he sure can fly through the air with the greatest of ease!

APRIL 26, 2011 -- The Burke Museum of Natural History's (UW) upcoming exhibit "Wolves and Wild Lands in the 21st Century" will run from June 4 -September 5. Posters, promotional materials and the exhibit itself will feature a selection of my wolf photos. I am truly honored to have my work showcased at such an important exhibit. Find out more information on the Burke Museum's web site at www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/event/wolves_wildlands/

MARCH 19, 2011 -- My second sold-out Wolf Haven Photo Tour of 2011 was a huge success! The weather on Thursday was perfect, the wolves were kindly cooperative... A wonderful time was had by all! (Photo at left of Bart, male gray wolf). My next Photo Tour won't be until fall of next year, date TBA. Check out Wolf Haven's web site at www.WolfHaven.org for details!

MARCH 8, 2011 -- What a beautiful weekend this last weekend was for a Port Gamble wedding! Port Gamble is such a sophisticated yet quaint location and so very reminiscent of my New England origins. I love it!
 

MARCH 3, 2011 -- Yesterday I had the honor of participating in the Sequim High School's Career Day, 2011. The event, organized by the Sequim Sunrise and Noon Rotary Clubs brought together a truly impressive variety of professionals to spend time with students interested in pursuing careers in their fields of expertise. During four sessions I (along with three other artists) got to share my experience and practical advise with nearly 150 art-minded students. What a gift!
 

FEBRUARY 23, 2011 -- Wow! Check out the Sequim Gazette's 2011 Wedding Planner... what a fabulous job they did! The design is beautiful, the content is so very useful to anyone planning a wedding AND the photos are wonderful... I might be a bit partial, as all of the photos used in the planner (except for the ad on the back cover) were taken by me! It's a "must have" for anyone planning a wedding!
 

 

 

FEBRUARY 22, 2011 -- The PDN Bridal Show was a hit! What a great opportunity to spend time with colleagues in the wedding industry and meet so many Brides and Grooms-to be! I had a great location, right between That Takes the Cake and Cameron's Cafe & Catering. My favorite display was The Cutting Garden and Cutting Garden Florist, complete with beautiful flowers, a garden bench and even a miniature rock-lined pathway! Thanks to everyone who visited my booth for your amazing compliments and enthusiasm for my work!

 

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13 -- Pick up your copy of today's Peninsula Daily News' (PDN) Bride & Groom bridal planner section of the PDN (featuring my photo, page 3, at left). You'll find my ad on page 10. Stop by and visit my booth at the Bridal Show one week from today at the Navel Elks Lodge Ballroom, 131 E. First St., Port Angeles. See you there! And Happy Valentines' Day (one day early!).
 

FEBRUARY 4, 2011 -- So much has been going on lately... Booking weddings, a Wolf Haven Photo Tour, the upcoming Port Angeles Daily News Bridal Show.... My prime wedding months are booking quickly. Here's a hint: if you're interested in booking a wedding with me, you might want to check my 'client login' section, as it lists all official bookings by date. Keep in mind that  I only post an online gallery once a wedding has been officially booked (ie. agreement and retainer in hand)!
 

WEEK OF JANUARY 10 -- Thanks to Amanda Winters of the Sequim Gazette for a wonderful article on my recent national publicity.

JANUARY 6, 2011 -- Happy New Year! If you're at the Kitsap Wedding Expo on Sunday (the 9th), check out That Takes the Cake... Sue's cakes are beautiful and they taste A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Try her almond cupcakes with almond creme filling for a real treat and pick up one of my rack cards while you're there!
 

DECEMBER 27, 2010 -- Just finished sending a batch of my wolf photos to CNN.com for inclusion in an upcoming travel segment. I'll post the link here when it becomes available.
 

DECEMBER 15, 2010 -- I just received word that my Wolf Haven wolf photos aired on The Weather Channel today!
 

DECEMBER 12, 2010 -- It's taken me waaaaaay too long in my opinion, but I have at last completed my site makeover! Yay! I've tried to retain the simplicity of my last design while paying more attention to the artfulness of it... I am an artist, after all!

DECEMBER 8, 2010 -- Received an inquiry today from The Weather Channel... apparently one of the segment producers saw my wolf photo in Delta Sky Magazine this month and wants to incorporate some of my wolf photos into their "Why I love Winter" week (week of December 13).

DECEMBER 5, 2010 -- The Jul Fest in Poulsbo was a Swede's delight! Seeing St. Lucia arrive in her Viking vessel was unbelievably pensive and beautiful.
 

 

 

DECEMBER 1, 2010 -- The month got off to a pretty cool start today with the publication of Delta Sky Magazine's Extreme Winter Top 32. According to Delta Sky Magazine editors and Olympian Shaun White, my Wolf Haven Photo Tours rank #10 on a list of the top 32 things to do when it's 32 degrees! Sandwiched right in between Quebec City and 'Best Ice Hotels' of Sweden and elsewhere. So if you're flying the friendly skies with Delta this month, check out page 70 of your in-flight copy or go to Deltaskymag.delta.com  and do the same.

NOVEMBER 20, 2010 -- For the second year in a row I spent our region's First Snow Day doing two of my  very favorite things: photographing a wedding and playing in the snow! It was perfect, as the Bride and Groom met years ago on Christmas and the lovely Bride was a trooper from Finland who insisted on marching right out into the snow in her four-inch sequin-encrusted heels!
