Incredible New Canon Camera!!! Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Photo Elan just put a deposit on two new Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras due to arrive sometime in November.  We can’t wait to get them in our hands!  So those of you who have already booked us for weddings after November, you will have us showing up with the new cameras, two in tow. Of course all our fashion and commercial shoots will see this camera as well.  The biggest improvement for our studio will be the fact that the EOS 5D Mark II achieves the highest level of image quality of any EOS Digital SLR released to date.  No mean statement from a company whose bread and butter is the vaunted image quality of its cameras. It also incorporates an all new 21.1-Megapixel sensor. The camera also have full HD 1080p video capture ability, so we will, at some point in the near future, consider incorporating “video highlights” in our slide shows. There are so many exciting technological advances in this camera, we are very excited to acquire them.

back to school

It was back to school yesterday for little Cole at West Seattle Montessori, yay!


Low Tide

Sunday was low tide day again, so we went out to the Beach Drive area of Alki. Cole loved it, he was soooo excited about a golf ball that he found out in the rocks!

It was June, but yet we had our winter coats on…

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mothers Day to the most beautiful woman in the world! I love you Jen.

Brian & Coley

I took this shot of the roses that somehow got into our house today.

road trip

We took a little road trip down to California, driving for 16 hours from Seattle to San Francisco the first day. It was a looooong, but fun drive. We then headed to Anaheim where we met my parents and had a fun time with Cole at Disneyland. Cole loved the roller coasters! Then it was off for some fun in San Diego. On the drive back we stopped over at Yosemite National Park for a day and then Dunsmuir for a day. Dunsmuir is such a quaint and cute little town with the friendliest people, you have to drive through it if you’re ever in the area. Since we’ve been back, we’ve had a couple of weddings and engagement shoots, so we’re now playing catch up. Here are some pics from out trip.
