Leah

Eric has this cute cousin named Leah. Last weekend we took her out into Grandma Minni's backyard for a little photo shoot. Here are some of my favorites! Can you believe those natural curls!? And those eyes-- so dark they're almost black!

Breast Cancer Event

On Tuesday the 21st our friend Heather at Mona Lisa events asked us to donate our time to shoot an event she was coordinating at the BluWater restaurant in Green Lake. The event was The Susan G. Komen Makeover for Cancer Survivors. Three women were to receive make-overs at the Illustrated Salon and then meet their families for the big reveal and a reception at the restaurant. We of course said "yes!" and were excited to be a part of the night. It was really cool to meet all three women who have survived breast cancer and hear their stories. We also got to meet Laurent Dufourg, the eccentric French stylist and owner of Prive hair care products and salons. He came all the way from New York for the event and provided much style and charisma towards the evening.

Channing Family

We did a fun shoot at the Channing's home last weekend. I thought I would share some of the highlights our new blog!! Their huge yard with beautiful fruit trees, flowers, and great views of the Puyallup Valley made for some perfect backdrops. I loved the funky tuxedo look! Each family member wore one piece!

First Post!

It's a day of firsts! Eric and I finally opened our Corliss Photography bank account today, (on the day of the big banking bail-out no less!) and now I am finally starting our Blog! Its about time. New computer today too!! We have had such a busy summer-- traveling, working and shooting like crazy. We have made a lot of progress artistically and I am so happy with our work. We have had some great clients and awesome experiences. We are continually amazed with where photography has taken us. Our work has taken us from the vineyards of Walla Walla to the waves of Lake Washington and the benches of the Wasatch mountains-- and that was just this summer!

In short, I am looking forward to a little breather this fall. Its time now to focus on improving our studio space and working on my lighting skills. The new website should be up soon as well. Hopefully I will have some time to get this blog going!

Hope to post some "greatest hits" of the summer of 2008 later!
