What’s the number one thing a client can do to elevate their photos? Wardrobe! Let me explain: Most established photographers have a certain style or look that they consistently achieve through both choice of location and editing. I happen to be a more ‘light and airy’ photographer, focusing on light, bright images, but other photographers […]
It had been a while since I offered mini sessions because, honestly, they weren’t that popular. I don’t know if I just didn’t market them well, or if I didn’t have a big enough pool of people to offer them to, but they just didn’t seem worth the effort. I’m also always scared that we’ll […]
There’s this moment in a family session… … especially with a family with little kids, where the energy just changes. It happens after we’ve gotten the ‘everyone smiling at the camera’ kinds of photos accomplished, and the kids have warmed up to me, and the pressure is off mom and dad to have happy, well […]
You guys, this spring has just been wild. Our spring warm-up was SLOW, and we had so much wind and rain, and because of all that we had to reschedule this session FOUR TIMES! I SO appreciate my client’s flexibility! I just can’t control the weather, and juggling sessions around it can be so stressful! […]
I just love this family! My good friend, and fellow photographer, Cherika, was hired this year by Adeline’s Peonies to photograph their garden party, and she also got exclusive access to their new farm, Lucy Farm, in Zillah, Washington. None of the peonies there were harvested this year, so it was acres and acres of […]
When you’re on location in the Tri-Cities, sometimes you just never know what will come by… I had the pleasure this spring of photographing my friend (from all the way back to middle school!) Allison, her husband, Nick, and their daughter Leona as they are expecting the arrival of a baby sister later in May! […]
I think I could tell before we even started, that this family was going to be a fun one! We started the session with a little huddle about what to expect, and what they are expecting of me, and it felt like chatting with friends! Not only did these guys dress in the perfect spring […]
And we’re back! With my first session of 2024, and this was so dreamy! As we’ve been seeing the past few weeks, early spring weather can really do ANYTHING. One minute it’s sunny and delightful, the next minute a rain cloud rolls through and soaks everything! This was certainly true on this early spring day, […]
It seems fitting that my last blog of 2023 is all about new beginnings and fresh starts. My client Diane reached out to me about some fresh family photos while her adult kids were in town to document their new chapter after some tough changes in their lives. It’s easy to remember to get […]
One of my favorite families–The Hartsfields! I will always cherish this family–my first ever real client, when I had just started maybe trying to photograph other people SIX YEARS AGO?! They took a chance on me, and we’ve all grown a lot over the years! This year the whole family showed up in plaid shirts! […]
