Steve Smith Photography | Seattle wedding and portrait photographer

I have two gifts for you this holiday season!

The first is snow, you’ll see snowflakes falling on this blog until January 2nd!  

The second gift I have for you is a short slide-show featuring some photos of Christmas lights I’ve photographed over the years. I hope you enjoy this short presentation, you can click on the photo above to start the show, also the show only works if your using a PC.

I thank my previous clients who made my success possible, and I look forward to those I will work for in 2008.  I wish you all the best for this holiday season and beyond!

It was time again for the 2nd annual Pictage PUG Holiday party hosted by the fabulous Me Ra and Brian.  Larry and I met with a great group of photographers at Upper Crust Bistro in North Tacoma.  Since I didn’t bring my camera, I borrowed the image above from Erwin’s blog, (were near the back) taken with the ultra cool 24mm lens that I want!

This past Sunday I spent some time with Lucas, the 13 month old son of our neighbor’s.  He was a bit sleepy when we first started but eventually he warmed up to the camera and even started Chirstmas a bit early by opening a few presents!

It’s been awhile since I posted, but I still have some exciting news to share even though the wedding season has ended.  I’m always excited to share the final products and I’ve received several shipments lately, including several new sample albums. 

Pictured is Dan and Bryan’s album, their main book as a 10×10, 42 page flush mount album. They also wanted two 6×6 smaller books for their parents as holiday gifts. These are the new photobooks, and they look great with the full wrap printed cover!

Two weekends ago I made the trip south to Portland, Oregon for some early Holiday shopping and for Stephanie and Jonathan’s engagement session. The location they decided on was the upper gardens of the Grotto.  I have never been to the upper part before and it was pretty amazing, even in November. There was still some fall color, and the smell of evergreens was amazing.

Stephanie and Jonathan are getting married next year on my birthday (May 31st) at the Oregon Garden in Silverton, OR.  Thanks guys for showing me the upper garden it was great spending the afternoon with you.

It’s been a busy week, several completed albums have arrived, I’ll have photos of them shortly! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
