Lil Mason | Bellingham Family Photography

Hey it’s the Vernon’s!! Courtney is one of ‘the girls’. If you know Meg well, you know she and ‘the girls’ have been great friends since high school. Pretty cool. It was fun to have these three up for photos but I really just like that we were able to hang out again (don’t feel like it happens enough anymore:-). Mason is so stinking cute and was hilarious to photograph because he was so expressive! Welp, to the photos shall we?

Such a happy lil dude!

This is so classic. I can’t get over him!

Grant was along to do his best to get our subject to smile. Way to go Grant!!

We love you guys. Thanks for trekking up to Bellingham and even enduring some rain for the shoot!!

Alright Cathy, Adam and Noah. You have no choice, you have reached friend status! And now look what happens, you move to the other side of the world. That’s just plain mean!! We love you guys anyways:-).

I love this!!!

Can you believe it also snowed during this shoot? This light was so good.

Didn’t want to leave dualy out!

Apparently I didn’t need to worry because dualy found his way in:-).

PS Don’t they have the coolest cars? Don’t forget about the truck from this shoot!

We’ll miss you guys but look forward to hanging out in 2014:-).

The Chute’s | Bellingham Family Photographer

We can’t rave enough about how cool Harvey is! I know that it is not gramattically correct to end a sentence with ‘is’, but this is our blog! So we’re rolling with it!! Harvey came to us in December wanting to purchase a gift certificate for his wife for Christmas! Yes! We’re all in for that!! He later explained how he and his wife, Carrie, were gifting each other a different ‘event’ or ‘adventure’ for each month of 2012! And Evantide Photography was lucky enough to make the list of fun adventures for them!

We had such a fun time hanging out at their house and grabbing some images for them!!

Thank you to Harvey and Carrie for having us! We truly appreciate you and your family! Best wishes to you!

Enjoy!

Dad and his daughter’s! I love the love in this image!

Proof!! Harvey is a funny guy!!!

Directions: Get really, really close to Carrie!! Surprise!!

I want a photo of Aaron and I like this!

Beautiful ladies!!

Please feel free to leave love notes for the Chute family!!!

Sister Get Together | Ka’anapali Family Photography

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:48:09 +0000

Meg here Just getting back from Maui where we had such an amazing opportunity to meet and shoot these gorgeous sisters!! With every event that we are hired to capture, it really is such an honor and privilege!! They definitely made our job ridiculously easy:-). These beautiful sisters in this beautiful setting, seriously? They stayed at the Aston Ka’anapali Shores Resort so we were able to hang out there and then we just headed straight down to the beach for some shots with the sunset.

I’ve never had a sister – but these gals made me want one!!! Nicole, your daughters amazing, way to go!!

I think this is where we asked for the ‘J Crew’ look, nailed it!!

There were the hunters and the hunted in this themed portion of the shoot, hilarious!

Aaron’s pretty dang proud of me for this fashionista beach shot.

Random guy Nicolette found on the beach! Just kidding – it’s her boyfriend! Hi Nate!

Thanks ladies, for being amazing!! Let’s do it again next year:-).

The Importance of Photos | A Photographers Plea

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:28:55 +0000

I want to start by saying this isn’t a plea to hire us or any other photographer. Both as a professional and a friend consider these three things -

1. Take photos or get photos taken. Life happens (good and bad) and it’s great to have documentation of it for yourself and for future generations.

2. Create some redundancy in your digital files. What’s this mean? Put the files in more than one place. On your computer is great, but maybe buy an external hard drive (prices are dropping like crazy at places like Costco and online). If you want to be really safe, maybe even keep some in a location away from your home (offsite).

3. Print some photos from time to time. Computers are going to crash, hard drives are going to fail and discs are going to have issues sooner or later. Not only are prints nice to hold onto, touch and look at; they are also just one more way to have access to these memories and times in your life.

To be honest, this is something that I do well for our clients but I can do a lot better at for our family. In 2011, I made a specific effort to shoot, back up and even print some our families photos. Grant is a really amazing kiddo and we are absolutely loving this time with him (and I want that documented:-). When he’s 13 and loving to push back? Well maybe he’ll be perfect, but… nah, he’ll push back. It’ll be fun to look back on this time. It will also be fun when he is 50 to show him what things were like when he was a kid:-).

Part of what started this reflection was hearing that my Grandma is going to be placed in the care of Hospice in the coming days. Grant may not have known his Great Grandma Ilene but we have images of what was a symbolic meeting they had when he was an infant. Here is an excerpt from a blog post I did about their meeting:-).

Alright, so get out there and Shoot, Save, Print… Repeat!

The Stotts | Bellingham Photographer

admin — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:32:08 +0000

As with the Stewarts below, it was great to re-connect with the Stotts family. The difference with this crew is that we’ve been able to capture them over the years, how cool is that? I think this is our 7th annual (Brenda, sound right?). Almost every time we have photographed these two they have been really shy, I take it personal sometimes:-). But Luke and Erica were ready for this shoot! It was almost like they knew us and like us, ha! Thanks Brenda and Terry for allowing us the privilege over the years to capture your beautiful family and congrats on it’s continued growth as well;-). Enjoy.

Ooops, surprise:-). A family of five… Way to go!!

The Stewarts | Whatcom Family Photography

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 07:57:57 +0000

Why? This is the question I’ve not only been hearing so much recently but also a question that I’ve been asking. For me the ‘Why?’ is about our business and our art. Why do we do what we do? Why should people invest in our services? And why us? I think I want to do a blog post on just this soon. But looking through these images gives me plenty reason to do what I do. As with any family at any given time, the Stewarts family has been changing. Not only in numbers but in dynamics. So how cool is it, that we were able to capture this beautiful family on this day and at this time?

We say it, and we mean it at every family shoot… You two are parents, yes, but you are also still a couple. We hope for ourselves and for all the parental units in our shoots that they continue to also be a couple in love!!

Aah, what a beautiful family!

From Mommy-to-be To Mommy+Newborn | Portrait Photography

admin — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 23:10:34 +0000

Their is always a story to be told in an image, at the same time some we connect with more or more personally. Our hope was to do some maternity photos that included Adam before he was deployed. Meg and I were so glad we could make it work. Weeks later, Noah was born, whoo hoo!! Great work Cathy and congrats papa Adam!! Congratulations to you both and welcome lil’ Noah!

She’s glowing:-)!!

Hi lil’ Noah!!

Baby, Mommy and Daddy’s truck!

Can’t wait for Adam to see this photo of his three babies:-). Sorry it’s not the car Adam.

And hey Adam, thanks so much for sacrificing this time with your fam for us and our families! You’re amazing!
