Be A Giver – ‘Get Hitched Give Hope’ Portraits

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:54:25 +0000

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 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:-).

Victoria – Senior Session

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 02:31:07 +0000

Tori rocked this photo shoot for her Senior year at Mt. Vernon High School. The ladies of Tart Beauty did a fabulous job with her hair and make up. I asked a Tori and she was telling me she loves to read, so we started at a the fun Eclipse Bookstore in Fairhaven and it worked perfect!! We had so much fun doing this photoshoot with you and all the best as you finish up your high school career Tori!!

A part of Tori’s graduation gift was this awesome VW. Love it! It screams Tori.

Tori’s mom and bro were a long for a quick shot of the family together!

Shannon – Bellingham Senior Photography

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:22:10 +0000

Aaron and I had such a great time grabbing some senior photos for Shannon! She is going to be a senior at West Valley HS in Yakima – but has spent her summer here in beautiful Bellingham! Shannon is looking forward to graduation where she can then head onto Gonzaga to start college. Not so much for the basketball, but more for her degree in Psychology. She has a heart for researching traumatic experiences in children, and how to work with them.

We started the shoot off right by heading to our faves Leah and Anna of Tart Beauty. Is it ok to say you are addicted to people! These two are an absolute blast to hang out with and are incredibly efficient while doing hair and makeup at the same time! From there we stopped in some cool downtown Bellingham alleyways and then up to beautiful Westerns campus! It is such a versatile place to shoot with the old library, lots of brick, and beautiful trees that rotate color throughout the year. We are fortunate to live only blocks away from this campus and it’s such a playground for us to shoot in!

We’ll be doing a round two come this fall! Can’t wait to shoot this gorgeous face again! Enjoy!

Evantide – The Business Side

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:06:06 +0000

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!

I re-connected with Becca to do a quick shoot with her while she had her cap and gown and still had her band uniform. Congratulations to Becca and all the 2010 Seniors on your graduation and all the best in the future!

Northwest Conference MVP – Mount Vernon Graduation Photography

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:33:33 +0000

I had the pleasure of spending spring afternoons with Rene over the last three years at Mt. Vernon. He’s been captain of the soccer team and this year was named the MVP of the conference. Great kid and fantastic footballer! He needed an image to go on the wall of fame at the school for the honor so we did a quick shoot. Here are a few of the images from the quick session. All the best in the future Rene and keep it up at University of Portland!

The commentary of commentations, loves to read comments. Hey just sayin’:-).

Katrina is the third and final opportunity for us to do Senior photos for the Plata family. It’s been so much fun and this shoot was no different. Congratulations to Katrina and to all of you Platas – “Let’s find a new and different excuse to hang out and do photos, eh?” Looking forward to it. Enjoy!

We’d love to read your comments!

Bulldogs Senior Night – Sports Photography

admin — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 16:44:45 +0000

As most of you know, I help coach the Mt. Vernon High School boys soccer team. This is my third year and it’s been a blast watching them grow and hopefully helping just a little bit a long the way. These guys have been ranked on the local, regional and national level and have been making state run’s each year. At tonight’s game we’ll be celebrating the seniors as the regular season winds down. But I don’t think any of the guys want the season to be over any time soon:-).

Jessica’s Senior Sesh –

We met up with Jessica and she was looking for a natural look in her photos. So we headed for the trees:-). Meg and I utilized our speedlights quite a bit to get this feel and Jessica really pops in these photos. Thanks for letting us do these photos for you Jessica and enjoy this preview!
