Hope and Memory Photography bio picture
  • I help clients capture their child’s personality. Oh, and I’m really good at acting (I used to be a performer in a former life), terrific at eating dessert (my fat jeans would definitely agree), and my Russian accent is stellar (Russians have confused me for an actual Russian until I give them a blank face when my Russian vocabulary runs out). Clients love my creative whimsical photos and are always commenting on how I’ve captured them in such a unique and beautiful way. Personally, I think my ability to return emails faster than Superman’s flight speed is pretty impressive. My Momma thinks I’m determined and that I have great hair and beautiful eyes. My friends envy my ability to balance everything on my overly full plate (they should be envying my husband because I certainly couldn’t do it without him). My clients love that I effectively capture their family and bottle moments in time for them to savor for years to come; I help them hold on to their memories.

Week 5: Perspective {a shot of inspiration}

sailboats, sail boats, Ballard, Seattle, inspiration, creativity, Seattle photographer, inspiring, water, beach, Golden Gardens, marina

I had to really push myself for this one.  I’ve been trying to specifically avoid photographing people (and children especially) since that is what comes so easily and is definitely my preference.  These sailboats have captured my imagination for some time now and I have been trying to figure out a way to photograph them that appealed to me.  Yesterday evening (yep… nothing like a good old fashioned deadline to inspire this girl!), with the light getting low and my kids crashed in the backseat and me with fresh breve latte in hand, I decided it was now or never and this was the push I needed.  15 minutes later, I had the shots I wanted.  Or, more accurately, I gave up and figured that was good enough because they just weren’t looking right on the back of my camera.  I couldn’t get the angles that I wanted due to being prohibited by barriers and the proverbial red tape around the marina.  It wasn’t until I pulled the photos from my camera and had them on my computer and started processing them and cropping them that I fell in love with these two.  And so, here is my perspective on this forest of sails.

As always, head over to Lindsey Bergstrom Photography to see what she was up to and then continue around the circle.
