Graduation for the class of 2023 is right around the corner but it’s not too late for high school senior portraits. Don’t forget that college grads deserve to be celebrated too! And a professional quality photo will help them shine as they begin their career.

Your date is booked with me and you’re excited for your senior session. But now the question is, what should I wear? Here are my tips to help you make the decision that is right for you.

Spring is a chilly and rainy time of year but it’s also a beautiful time to watch flowers bloom and fresh spring leaves emerge. You are so excited for Winter to be over and looking forward to having some photos done soon for Spring time. Here are my tips on what to wear.

Celebrate your date night with a complimentary portrait.

These albums are hand made by a professional print lab with Standard Archival Value of 100 years in home display or 200 years in dark storage.

You’re not afraid of the cold and want a photo session outdoors to celebrate and have fun during the winter season. This is the outfit guide for you.

As 2022 comes to an end I can't help but be grateful as I reflect back on the year.

I feel so lucky to be in the portrait business here in the Bellingham area.

Here are 6 different signs that you need a new headshot this year.

I'm a huge believer of prints over digitals.

So much so that I make sure that each client walks away from their experience with me with a physical print 8x10 print.

To deliver final images to my clients I utilize online galleries to make it easy to pick out favorites and finalize orders eliminating the need for a second appointment.

Don’t miss out on mini sessions ever. You can sign up to receive my alerts.

What is it all about?

My subscribers get my expertise and my alerts before anyone else. I know my own inbox is my carefully curated feed that no social media algorithm determined for me. (Stop eavesdropping algorithm bots!)

You’ve had your photo session, you’ve downloaded your digital photos and the files are sitting in your super cluttered downloads folder.

Now what?

Not only does the Pacific Northwest have a high count of rainy days, the Fall and Spring season are notoriously difficult to predict what time of day rain drops will fall, and if that rain will be a little sprinkle or a soaking downpour.

Besides the storage issue, when I think about how I want to look at my photographs it is always going to be a print in my hand, framed on the wall, or in an album that is grouped in my collection of photo albums.

The best way I capture couples in love, is by prompting them to just be themselves. I'll ask couples to hold hands, hug and kiss. How couples do this is up to them.

Sessions may take up to an hour long but I have been able to capture all the shots I aim for in as little as half an hour.

I LOVE Black & White Portraits. So every one of my clients receives their photos in both color and in a black & white copies. Here is why I love B&W:

Something I love about portrait photography is that even though my workflow of each senior portrait is pretty much the same I capture each individual’s unique personality. Something that I am often told by parents is how amazing it was I was able to work with their shy senior and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera.

This is it. You found your special someone and you want to make it legal. How amazing is that?! If you are ready to pop the big question and want to make sure you keep it a surprise I have three pieces of advice for you: you'll want to make a plan, enlist help, and you’ll need to exercise your ability to be flexible.
