Spreading the word

The number-one force behind our growing business is people spreading the word. This year it seems nearly every senior has brought along another after their session. We love the referrals and we know that those people coming in know what to expect - a fun, easy photo session and amazing portraits afterwards. We reward our clients with spiral-bound copies of their proofs when they give a referral. We also have senior reps at some of the high schools, and we load them with free goodies so they can share their photos with their friends. Addeson, pictured here, is our Meridian rep. He was a blast to photograph! Thanks seniors, and thanks parents of seniors for making my job so much easier!

We all have to grow up

One of the pleasures and blessings of my job is watching people grow up! Sometimes that means babies turning into preschoolers, kids graduating, and even parents becoming grandparents. We all still have growing up to do!
Rob & Alicia Wurm first hired me to photograph Rachele, who was beginning her musical career while still in high school and needed cover art for her 2nd CD. After that graduation photos, family photos, more CD art, and now her little sister Heather is graduating and I had the privilege of photographing her at Boulevard Park this week. Enjoy :)

Growing a Family

Last spring I joined an adoption organization, "Celebrate Adoption." My role is helping adoptive families by photographing them for free, giving them a free set of framable proofs and 15% off any additional orders.  I finally got my first call and on Friday I photographed Mike & Kristi Molendyk's family along the Nooksack river.  Mike and Kristi and their biological kids, Brielle and Trey, welcomed Trevin into their home 7 months ago from Ethiopia. I am privileged to have watched and photographed this happy family at play. May God's blessings be on all of you parents who have adopted children. You are among my heroes.
