New client site - for a CPA

Working with my favorite clients to design a site. She's an accountant, so it has its challenges. The client gives me beer and lets me crash on her couch for helping her out with the design

setup shot


I love when set up photos end up being keepers. This is Dylan, who was kind enough to take time from his busy WOW schedule to allow me to use him as a lighting test. Such a good sport

Premier Accountant in the Seattle Area

A dingo ate my baby!
Not really.
I've been away from my camera for some time now, trying to find a new house to buy (one that we can afford in the area which we want to live) and I've had much of my time with my 9-5 job, in addition to trying to rebuild my 69 volkswagen fastback motor (well, the whole car, but the motor is first).
Kim wanted a photo that she could put on her social sites and her website, so while she was out gallivanting around Redmond today, I set up a 4 light portrait setup in our dining room. It felt really good to get behind the camera again and play with my strobes. I use Skyports to trigger my flashes, and my sending unit is dying on me. I have used and abused it to the point where it works when it wants to. The last wedding I shot, I used it for some shots, but then it stopped working and I had to switch to my ST-e2, which is my favorite.
Anyway, I used a couple of sample "uber-actions" by Doug Crouch to finesse the photos http://www.uberactions.com. Doug is a good friend and an awesome photographer. I assisted him on a few shoots and we had a blast.
