this sweet Fam of mother, father, and lil baby contacted me to rock a family shoot. I got see some parts of Seattle I've never seen...we hit up their neighborhood (Queen Anne) and Gasworks as well. two really cool spots. there were so many great photos...and their little one Brooks was the cutest little guy in the world.

Mr. Bowen

I had the pleasure of having Ryan Bowen accompany me as an assistant this last summer for weddings. he's been across the country on his bike this last winter to go see the innauguration and is currently up in Seattle pursuing photography and many other things as it goes with Ryan. checkout highlights from his trip at www.bikingforobama.com
