Happy New Year! | Seattle Family Photographer | Evidence of Life Photography



Happy New Year, friends! 
I hope you all are ready to make it a good one. I don't generally do resolutions, but I have decided that in my life, 2016 is the year of the transcendentalist. I fell in love with the American transcendentalist poets when I was  16 and I think it's high time I cracked those old books back open and remember the words I was once so inspired to live by. To start, I'm sharing with the world my Whitman favorite...
This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, 
devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, 
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, 
read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, 
and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.
               -Walt Whitman, Introduction to Leaves of Grass 

Whether you are setting resolutions or just making good intentions, I want to thank all of the members of our client family for making 2015 a beautiful year of photo-memories for us and wish you all the best in 2016!

A castle hidden in the woods outside Seattle. Odes to comic book super heroes adorn the tables. Passionate dancing. A fireworks send-off. The wedding party is elegantly cloaked in black - the color of mystery and intrigue - with pops of colorful shoes and bouquets as if to signify the true nature of their superhero identities lies somewhere beneath... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heather Reis Fike and Rachael Reis are sisters who both grew up falling in love with photography.
