ROGER RESSMEYER & FAMILY – SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

We recently had the utmost honor of photographing one of my great mentors of photography, Roger Ressmeyer,
founder of Science Faction Images and Jewel Box Images, at home with his family in the Pacific Northwest.

What is so cool about visiting the Ressmeyer family home is that amongst all the toy guns, stuffed unicorns & high power rocketry collection Roger & his son share, you get to view, in person, a selection of gorgeous, prestigious prints Roger captured while he
was on assignment for National Geographic Magazine, NASA, Getty Images & Corbis stock photography. (Two of my favorite
images to this day are Ansel Adams by the ocean in 1981 & Madonna's first concert in Seattle on The Virgin Tour in 1985!)

Cory & I had a great time capturing the kids in their environment goofing around.
"Give me Dirty Harry" & Roger's son picked up a Nerf toy gun & gave me his best look for the shot - totally my new hero!

Here are a few of our favorite images from their LIFESTYLE PORTRAITURE session:

Rogers taught me that we (photographers) have the opportunity & privilege to get to know amazing people through our lens.
As subject & photographer we learn & grow from each encounter & are blessed to share life experiences.
It is one of my most cherished gifts & I hope to have the opportunity to share & pass it on to you.
