I love the sun…some may even say I am a sun worshipper.  I like to be tanned and yes spend far too much time tanning.  I know I know…it’s  probably time to cut it out since the leather look is not really in when it comes to skin.

Leather jackets may be back in style but leather skin…not so much…

I must admit sometimes sunshine poses a real challenge with photography.  When I wake up and see its slightly overcast I sometimes do a little jig as I love to photograph in that kind of weather… lucky for me I live in the Pacific NW…

However summer is here and believe it or not, Seattle DOES get sunshine.  I find myself cringing when I think of having a session in the bright mid-day sun with all the greenery around us lit up like lime green lights…which just simply means it’s time to push the creativity…

With days like this I often schedule the session early in the morning or towards evening but every so often you just gotta improvise….

Between lighting, posing and a bit of photoshop I feel you can work magic at anytime of day.  Without the bright sun I never would have got this shot…sooooo I guess it’s all I can do to make the best at what mother nature throws at me and rock it out no matter what!
