Evantide Photography

First of all, I can’t believe we’ve arrived in the month of September, yikes.  Summer is fading fast and I’m not ready:-).  I’m also excited because we tend to have mild beautiful weather in September and so far that’s held true in the last couple of days!

Okay, so here’s the deal, I have many friends who are working on an event in Seattle called Get Hitched Give Hope.  It’s an uber swanky event in Seattle where wedding vendors have offered their services but the catch is that all the proceeds go ‘To grant wishes to stage 4 breast cancer patients for whom the cure can’t come soon enough.’  What an amazing opportunity, right?  Well if you are getting married or want to attend the event, definitely follow the link as I place it all over this post!

I was chatting with a couple of the organizers of the event and they are all set with their vendors that will be offering their wedding services for the auction… But Meg and I still wanted to help!  So with a some creative help from the GHGH ladies we came up with a plan, and here it is:

—–>>>>>For the month of September we’ll be doing our portrait sessions for a discounted rate starting at $200 and of that $200 we’ll be giving $50 to Get Hitched Give Hope!  Meg and I really believe this to be such a worthy cause and we are so excited to be able to help in any way we can.  So give us a call or send us an email and set up your portrait session today.  We do Families, Maternity, Babies, Children, Seniors, Musicians, Headshots, Pet’s…  I’ve attached some samples from the last few months to kind of give a taste of what we’ve been up to.  Enjoy and get a hold of us soon to set up a session!

Thanks to all the peops of GHGH for putting this event on and inspiring us to get involved as well.  If you haven’t followed one of the links yet, here it is again:-).

Not only are we visual people as far as photographing people and our other subjects… but I looked over from my desk today and saw how Meg prepared for us to hand off our many shoots and jobs from this last week and a half and it made me laugh.  We are visual people in general.  She had lined up all of our shoots and jobs so that we can see, send off and check off the list each job in order.  I had to take a photo and it got me thinking – I haven’t talked enough about two things:

1.  Beautiful canvases that we can get done for you of the images we capture.  These photos don’t begin to do justice the awesomeness and beauty of these works of art!

2.  Our friends at Bison Letter Press that did all of our material that we hand off to our clients.  They did such amazing work with our Business Cards, Greeting Cards, Disc Sleeves, and Handle Bags.  I’ll need to do a post that really shows off their work.  Thanks guys!

This is what I turned and saw.  Funny and photographable:-).

If you see your name on one of those green envelopes… Yep, that means we’re just finishing up your photos, whoo hoo!

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:-)!
