Sam~Class of ’23~Senior Photography

Shall we talk about editing images in this post? Something I added to my editing toolbox is a Wacom tablet. I use this mostly for skin retouching because of the pressure point use of the pen versus the mouse. And my mouse is not the typical apple mouse. I use a gaming mouse I found…

“To accomplish a bright future is to accomplish bright and huge tasks” ― Sunday Adelaja Also you have to ask for help in some areas of your life to progress further. Realizing I needed some help with the 17 hats you wear in business by yourself. You can’t keep up with everything. Something may lack and I…

You might be wondering why would you have this type of session. Well at the time when you have your senior session you usually don’t have any of the items you are about to see in this session. Sometimes I do these photos along with a graduation party and other times it’s a 30 minute…

Andrew~Mukilteo Beach~Class of 2021

Let’s talk senior photos. My next three blog posts are all seniors with various session types. This one was a full session captured in the full sun. So to handle the harsh light I use backlighting and flash along with natural light when that is possible. If you graduating next year now is the time…

Shoot for the moon, and even it you miss you’ll land among the stars. His future is bright and his family is beyond sweet. They are there to support him on his journey. I had the joy of capturing them on this cold sun drenched evening. We combined the senior session with some family pictures…

Lucas~Class of 2021~Kirkland

This is one of the senior sessions I’ve been working on this fall. An inspiring musician and all around great kid. He played music for me half of the time at his session. And I think bringing your interest along to the shoot is always a great idea. I really enjoy when I get a…

Be the kind of person that makes other people want to up their game. First off, I’m all caught up and ready to tackle the next few weeks. We’ve been to Palm Dessert to celebrate our 20th anniversary. I cannot believe it’s been that long. In fact, I’ve been with my husband 26 years altogether….

The only time I set the bar low is for limbo~Michael Scott This has been the busiest September I’ve ever had with all the senior sessions, babies, and returning families. I wasn’t sure I could get all the editing done. However determination can give you some type of super human speed. I am icing my…

The best compliment you can give is a referral. My whole business is based upon them. So I wanted to stop a moment and share my gratitude for each and everyone of you. The best part about it is the ones you refer are similar to you. They are your loved ones and friends. The…

Trey~Class of 2019~Bothell Landing

This month marks the ninth year I’ve owned a photography business. It feels like a sweet spot in this journey. I’ll never learn enough. But I’m at a point where my visions are coming to life and more of my focus can be on creativity and not what button/lighting/position I’m using. The story telling can…

Jack~Class of 2019~Stem School

I’ve been looking forward to this blog post for many reasons.  I think this kid is cool, funny, and has loads of charisma.  And he also happens to be an awesome musician.  What else could you ask for?!  He can also quote tons of funny movies back and forth with his dad.  So really did…

Meet Cameron~Class of 2019

Time to be real.  Photos can be so nerve wracking that it’s the last thing on earth you really want to do.  But its your senior year and its tradition and mom wants you too.  So you reluctantly go hoping it will only be a few pics. And it’s the most pictures you’ve ever had…
