Shoreline Mayor Keith McGlashan for Cityvision Magazine | Seattle editorial photographer

In December, I had the opportunity to photograph Shoreline Mayor Keith McGlashan for Cityvision Magazine. The former owner of a hair salon has been the mayor of Shoreline for about a year now. He also works part time as a barista at a local Starbucks! Busy fellow! McGlashan was interviewed by the magazine for a story about he is dealing with changes in the city’s demographics and to local infrastructure. I photographed him at Shoreline City Hall, which is an amazing and fairly new facility featuring some pretty cool architecture and art.

The magazine used my editorial portraits of McGlashan throughout the magazine. Here are some tearsheets:

Bellingham editorial photographer | 2010 portraits of the year

Xavier Dailly, Western Washington University golfer

I have always enjoyed making portraits, whether they are impromptu encounters as at Bellingham Comicon, or in more formal sessions, as in my work with Western Washington University athletes. Portraiture is so exciting and fulfilling to me — just the idea of being able to capture someone’s true personality in an image is a thrill. 2010 offered me the opportunity to shoot portraits for some terrific clients.

Cityvision Magazine hired me to make portraits of Bellingham Mayor Dan Pike, Shoreline Mayor Keith McGlashan and Everett City Attorney Ramsey Ramerman.

The Western Front assigned me to make portraits of some of Western’s top athletes and other important members of the Bellingham community.

I also made portraits for a number of smaller, local clients and editorial publications. No matter who I am photographing, I love the challenge of connecting a portrait to the story in a meaningful way.

Without further adieu, here are a few of my favorite portraits of 2010.

On a whim I decided to check out the Bellingham Comic Con, in its first year under new ownership, this past Saturday. Met some very nice people and had fun making portraits of a unique subculture: the comic book collector.
