Luly Yang Couture at the 2013 Lunar New Year Gala

Luly Yang's couture gowns have been the highlight of the Lunar New Year Gala for the past few years. The runway show kicked off the auction to raise money for the Bruce Lee Action Museum. A colorful array of frocks constructed of the richest fabrics made their way up and down the runway for all to gander.  photo B_zps43fea66e.jpg  photo A_zps0d5395a8.jpg  photo C_zps954e0cd6.jpg  photo D_zps0c3116b7.jpg  photo G_zps4b097eaa.jpg  photo F_zpsc891244a.jpg  photo E_zpsb201479a.jpg

Patrick Dempsey Visits Tully's

On January 4th, Patrick "McDreamy" Dempsey visited the Tully's at Bellevue's Lincoln Square. His group recently purchased Tully's, so he made an impromptu visit to the eastside store. I was there on behalf of Kemper Development to capture the mayhem of fans wanting to be photographed with the Grey's Anatomy star.  photo pd_zpsc8f96b79.jpg  photo pd2_zps31c64207.jpg  photo pd3_zps40b9e0e5.jpg

Dancing Domes

Terry "Dancing Domes" of the Massive Monkees is definitely a colorful subject. I wanted to showcase his body art, which is as vibrant as the myriad of graffiti behind him.  photo t1-1_zps18e3c7a5.jpg  photo t2-1_zps0603ee60.jpg  photo t3_zpsfad5d48f.jpg  photo t4_zps72620434.jpg  photo t5-2_zps63da7a25.jpg  photo t6-1_zpsbbf5739b.jpg

RNG

Rated Next Generation (A.K.A RNG) is a group of immensely talented teenagers who can compete against grown-ups twice their age. They did just that on the last season of America's Best Dance Crew on MTV. What really makes an impact on me isn't how much talent and passion they exude, but the grounded, respectful nature they possess. What a wonderful group of youngsters!  photo RNG1_zpsbeb1082e.jpg  photo RNG2_zps8cae3e12.jpg

Massive Monkees Crew

I met the Massive Monkees ten years ago and have been photographing them ever since. From their headshots to their events and even some of their weddings, I am lucky to have been part of their lives for a decade. Here are some photos from their latest shoot in the basement of the Last Supper Club in Pioneer Square.  photo m7_zps2b7b60d0.jpg  photo m1_zps66f3c008.jpg  photo m3_zps7bd3da13.jpg  photo m2_zps0fbbc34f.jpg  photo m5-1_zps46ca0377.jpg  photo m4_zps956667e3.jpg  photo m6_zps24034c85.jpg

Hip Hop Takes Over Shoreline

Every year, hip hop dancers come from all over the west coast to perform at Shorecret High School's performing arts center. Groups such as Breed, Phyzical Graffi-T, and Cruz Control showcase their talents in a night of music, dance, and camaraderie.  photo b2-1_zps4e7f6578.jpg  photo b4-1_zpsbd748314.jpg  photo b3_zps7641ba00.jpg  photo b1-1_zps0bf0645a.jpg  photo b6-1_zpsd030842f.jpg

Luly Yang : A Monarch's Tale

The ten year anniversary of Luly Yang Couture was celebrated with the theme of A Monarch's Tale. Each of the five sets on the runway represented a different phase of the monarch's metamorphosis.  photo ly1-1_zps1b788d44.jpg  photo ly4-1_zpsb80bc058.jpg  photo ly11_zpsbef87536.jpg  photo ly5-1_zps0ea6864a.jpg  photo ly13_zpsfd04c05c.jpg  photo ly7_zps5be4e74a.jpg  photo ly2-1_zpsd3f5b47b.jpg

Nordstrom Designer Preview

Nordstrom Designer Preview, held at Pier 91 for the third year in a row, never fails to deliver the most coveted fashions of top designers. Prior to the start of the runway show, live models from Seattle and Los Angeles were arranged outside of the seating area in a live preview. Many of these photos were published in a spread in 425 Magazine.  photo N1_zpse69e4c70.jpg  photo N2_zps82f7376c.jpg  photo N3_zpsc1ce364e.jpg  photo N4_zps4503aff5.jpg  photo N7_zps4d0c93a4.jpg  photo N6_zps1a74b8a3.jpg  photo N8_zpscc7c0b3a.jpg
