Totten Photography

I didn’t mean to be a photographer.  I didn’t even pick up a camera until I was 20.  But photography has taken me to 12 countries, allowed me to show my work for 14 consecutive months at 7 venues in Seattle, allowed me to work on numerous fashion shoots (including French and Japan Vogue, and the U.K.’s Pop, Rebel, and Arena), as well as spend a summer in France assisting fine-art photographer Jock Sturges.  After managing Jock’s studio for 3 years and assisting two high-end wedding photographers, I started my own business with a solid artistic background and a wealth of world experiences.  Since then I’ve found nothing more challenging and simultaneously exhilarating than composing artistic yet natural moments of bliss.

I am a photographer of life.  That is, I work with my clients during their most celebrated life experiences.   My clients trust me enormously to create emotive and genuine portraits of their favorite events, the people they love, and the poetry of the joy they share.

Giving back to my community has always been a value of mine.  I recently volunteered as a mentor for Youth In Focus, a non-profit that offers photography classes for at-risk youth.  With the success of my business, I am thrilled to donate 5% of my annual profit to help support this awesome program.  The dynamic students of this program are a constant inspiration for me, and your business helps their lives blossom.
