      Bye Alaska. You beautiful beast. I have a feeling this is is my last venture for at least a few years and my heart hurts a bit. Its always been as kind to me as a place can be…sort of.

My first maternity shoot. I dont know what else to say…at least it was short? Fortunately Leigha and her boy were pretty relaxed about it and it was a nice place for portraits. What would make this more exciting hmmm…then I found 20 dollars!yay!

As they say in Boston, this shit was ”wicked cool”. Goosebay: abandoned but still bustling with activity and muzzleblasts. Jess & Andy were so rad and completely open to being sprayed with copious amounts of milk. Good people. I suppose nothing is faux pas for Kaptive…plus if your in Alaska I think you have to shoot things. Its almost mandatory.

    …Good times and great oldies… It would have been hard to have more fun with such good people. Matter of fact I didnt really feel like a photographer so much as another guest. And the luck! 1 week of rain and on the day it mattered: sun at its best. Note to self: Inebriated bridesmaids make for hilarious photos. Many thanks to Cassie and Dustin and all of their friends and family for such a great time…and to whoever brought the model T: Hell ya. Iv always wanted to photograph a beautiful bride and badass ride at once. Someone had the bright idea of wrapping salmon in bacon…that was awesome too…pure genuis actually.    

    Hawaiin natives offed Mr. Cook on his last voyage. Why you ask? Because he looks mean, thats why.Its nice when your client works at the venue and you can shamelessly run amok a maze of old teak and paintings for fabulous imagery. The Cpt. Cook hotel is one of the few joints downtown that doesnt feel cookie-cutter. Its got class and although I dont usually dig low-light ballrooms and carpeted banquet rooms this was an exception. Gorgeous.  Kyle and Lorena were more a pleasure and the families do a damn good conga-line.
