Evantide Photography

Meg and I connected with Jen & Darren for their engagement session.  This is such an exciting time for them!  Not only are they looking to their wedding in April but a lil one arriving in July.  Jen seems to be doing a really great job of relishing in these two exciting events in their life, taking it a day at a time!  They will be having their wedding by the water so we spent some time doing photos that took advantage of Bellingham’s city feel.  And no it’s not spring yet, hmmm.  It’s been so beautiful lately!  We are so excited to be a part of your big day and look forward to watching your beautiful young family grow.  Enjoy this preview!

We felt like we would be doing the gals of the workshop a dis-justice if we didn’t do a jumping photo:-).  I think Jen’s nervous, ha.

Meg and I had a blast doing our first workshop this last weekend.  Woods Coffee was a great host and it was very beautiful day to be at Boulevard Park.  We had a few people that weren’t able to make it so it was a small group but it made for a nice balance of teaching and answering specific questions that each of the gals had.  We will be scheduling some more of these classes in the coming months so let us know if you would like to learn how to take your dSLR off of auto.

I shall dub her ‘Model Meg’.

It’s true, I hide behind my camera:-).

Dealing with shutter speed to freeze me mid air.  Pretty good hops for a big guy, eh?

It was fun to come home and see these Facebook statuses -

Shara -  “Just spent 4 hours of my Saturday attending a photography class put on by Evantide Photography. So excited about what I learned! Things I already knew but never took the time to practice finally “clicked” for me today, plus I learned more great skills.  Best $ I’ve ever spent. I could have stayed all day. Serious…ly. More excited about photography now than I’ve ever been! Thanks so much Aaron and Meg!”

Kim – “Learning more about photography from two talented photographers = great day!”

Naomi – “The workshop was so, so, SO worth it! I learned more in a few hours than I have in a few years. It was put on by Evantide Photography. I am looking forward to doing another training with them some time in the future. No more auto for me, I am going to do my best to stay in manual mode! ”

Thanks ladies!  And remember, if you want to be a part of one of these classes to let us know and we’ll keep you updated!

I had the opportunity to head up north to check out the festivities in Vancouver and take in some Curling matches.  Awesome!  It was a blast.  I was taking it all in so I wasn’t thinking too much about taking photos but here are a few images from Vancouver.  Thanks Eric for thinking of me and letting me tag a long.

I didn’t know what to expect from the crowd at a curling match but they definitely did the wave and exploded with jubilance when the Canadian ladies laid the hammer down on the Japanese ‘four’.

I know the weather started out pretty rough for these games but it’s been pretty amazing since!

Meg and I did part one of the Brennan’s family photo shoot this last week.  This was a quick shoot while Grandma and Grandpa were in town and we’ll be finishing the shoot next week so keep an eye for more soon.  Enjoy!

Hilarious.

A fun three generation shot.

Over the last couple of months many of you have purchased your first digital SLR, lenses and for some of you – even an external flash.  I have had a lot of requests for help in learning how to utilize your new cameras.  It’s time to stop only shooting in auto and really utilize these great cameras.  I’ve secured an amazing spot for a fantastic workshop.  This is coming up quick and there are a limited number of spots so be sure to sign up soon.  You asked for it and here it is!

The goal for these and other images we captured for Elaina were to give a timeless feel… Well, also a Valentines Day gift to her hubby:).  The hard work Elaina and the ladies at Tart Beauty put into her look really left it up to us to isolate Elaina in a way that didn’t get in the way of that vintage feel.  We don’t really focus on our boudoir, pinup and themed photo-shoots in our portfolio but if you ever have a shoot like this in mind you can definitely contact us and we can show you some of our work.  Enjoy the preview Elaina!

Big thanks to Rocket Donuts in downtown for letting us utilize their space and theme!

I don’t know of anyone who would read this post that would approve of this next image.  But, hey…  It’s what I’m willing to do for my clients.

Go Mariners:-).

Once again, just a dude trying to show you ladies how it’s done:-).  Wow, this is embarassing!

We love hearing from you and whatcha think.

I’ve been editing this shoot this evening and really wanted to post something but I’m not ready to blog about the whole shoot so here’s one:-).

PS How about a shout out to the ladies at ‘Tart Beauty’ for the amazing work they did on Elaina’s make up and hair.  Elaina, you looked amazing!

If you have had a chance to visit our website recently, you have heard Dana Little and Tara Ward’s beautiful music!  I recently did some work with both of these great ladies and they are allowing me the privilege of utilizing their music on my site (Thank you both so much for that!).  This last weekend, I was able to head down to Wood’s Coffee at Boulevard Park and enjoy Dana in concert.  It was quite the treat.  She asked if I would bring along my camera and I happily obliged.  Thanks Dana for sharing your music with us and we all look forward to buying your album when you release it:-).  Here are some images from the show.

Woods at Boulevard was such a great venue for this show.  It had an intimate feel and was definitely at capacity (Dana did a second short set for those that weren’t able to come in:).

Taylor Rowland opened for Dana and did a great job!  If someone has info about him you can leave it in the comment section.

We love reading your comments:-)!

Oh my goodness, it has been soooo nice out lately!!  Grant and I went on a walk today and had a ton of fun exploring and playing on Taylor Dock.

We love this kid!

Meg and I had so much fun with the Hillmans, doing a few studio and outdoor sets.  Little Ezra and Finley are so stinking cute.  One of the things I love about childrens photography is capturing their eyes.  As you can see from this post and Danielle in the post below:-).  Enjoy.
