and that’s why she and her man are giving seattle a whirl….

and a whirl it has been. moving cross country to a new city and starting a business. martha larson takes beautiful pictures. this was my first time photographing another photographer. i felt privileged and a wee bit nervous. but mostly very excited to meet her in person. we roamed around their queen anne neighborhood and in between shooting we talked a lot of shop. love learning how other people approach what i do. i always walk away smarter. love martha’s vintage collections. she shoots with her digital camera through the lens of an old camera. this technique is called "through the viewfinder" (ttv) photography. am interested in experimenting with it myself one day. i just found a great ttv blog. it’s full of information. oh my, it looks like fun! i think this technique works perfectly with her baby belly photos. she specializes in children and bellies and has a lovely body of work, you must visit her website.

in case you are wondering, they are both passing seattle with flying colors. it’s hard to flunk here.
