As part of the Instagram strategy for the Pierce County Council of Labor, I created posts that color correspond with a theme to repeat over time.

Photography: Brewers and Builders 2019 - Rebuilding Together South Sound
Last night, approximately 200 people from Pierce County gathered at Freighthouse Station in Tacoma for Rebuilding Together South Sound’s annual Brewers & Builders event. The venue was packed with a variety of beers to sample from area breweries, delicious food (& great service) from Georgio’s catering, generous raffle prizes, giant jenga, cornhole, beer pong, and an awesome band. In August, I posted a save the date for the event, so I’m following up with photos I took of the fruits of our labor. It felt like a great success, and left me feeling so proud of my community.

Photography: Casey Gray, Senior
I have been back home in Kansas for close to a week now, and one of the things on my to-do list was capturing senior photos of my younger brother, Casey. I can’t believe he’s actually a SENIOR. But we had a great time snapping photos yesterday, and it means a lot to me to be able to capture a little bit of this time in his life.
Photography: Defiance BJJ
A few posts ago, I shared that Caleb and I had been working on a podcast for the guys of Defiance BJJ. Last night I attended one of their classes for adults in order to get some shots of the guys and attendees in action, so here are some of the shots.
Photography: Art on the Ave
Art on the Ave, according to the website of 6th Ave Business District’s website, is “an annual music and art festival hosted by the 6th Ave Business District, Tacoma WA’s Most Eclectic District, along 6th Avenue from State St. to Alder. In its 19th year and attracting thousands of patrons, it is Tacoma’s largest arts-based yearly event.”
My new camera arrived the day before the event, so I was stoked at the timing that allowed me to have a new rig for the coolest art fair in Tacoma.
Fortunately for A on the A, it was PACKED. Unfortunately for me, the sun and crowds were a bit overwhelming, so I only managed to snap a few photos. Here are my faves.
Photography: Annual Company Day At The Rainiers
Most of you know that I work at a Tacoma accounting firm, The Doty Group. Throughout the year, there are awesome opportunities for us to get together and take some time to enjoy our team. Today was one of the favorites: Family Day at a Rainiers game. Complete with a face painter and balloon artist, we attend a day game and enjoy an afternoon BBQ. Though today’s game was off to a bit of a slow start, the R’s finished strong with a Home Run and a W!
Of course, I stayed pretty busy chatting today, but managed to grab a few snapshots before it was over.
