Priceless Family Memories

This wonderful mother came to me and asked me about doing a photo day with her family. I had the privilege of working with her daughter for her senior photos, and so I already knew I loved this family! Mom wanted to preserve some memories of her children at this time in their lives. So many families capture the memories of their children when they are young, but precious few think about capturing the memories of their family right as their children are ready to tackle the world! I think lives get so busy at this time, we forget that these memories are just as priceless as the earlier ones.

These four people are extremely accomplished pianists. I loved being able to go into their home and photograph them next to the instrument which brings them such joy.

As you can see, we went all over the place and ended up in my studio. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent with them and will treasure the memory forever.

Wahoo! A Portrait Party Just in Time for Christmas!



I am excited to announce my annual Christmas Portrait Party! It will be held at my home studio on Saturday, November 14th from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Space will fill up quickly, so give me a call today to reserve your time. My phone number is: 360-608-1814

Wear your own special Christmas outfit, or I have hats, vests, boots, umbrellas, and as most of you already know, I have petticoats which have taken over my studio! I will be using my distressed white brick background and wooden floor. This way, if you want portraits without a Christmas theme, you can have that. But I will also have some giant ornaments and bright packages if you would like to go Christmas all the way!

This year, in addition to the information you will read about for individual photos, I am offering a family group package for $100.00 to include 10 images on a CD. My studio space is limited, so check with me to let me know how many people will be in the photo. (There are no outfit changes available with this package)

Also, I have free Christmas Card designs from which you can choose. You choose the design and which image will go in it and I will email the full-resolution 5x7 jpeg to you so you can have them printed at cost.

Here are the details:

I will spend approximately 15 minutes with each child creating at least 6 different poses. You will get to choose which photos you would like to order or have burned to a CD to use anyway you would like. Each image on the CD comes in both vivid color AND in black and white.

Cost: $50.00 per child ($10.00 per child extra) 100% of the cost is applied to your order! (Full Payment must be received one week in advance)

CD Prices

Each image is a full-resolution jpeg file. They will be finished in both vivid color and in black and white. You receive the copyright to use your image(s) any way you wish!
