Williamson Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Photographer

We've been around the block a time or two with the Williamsons. They are one of those amazing families that we love to shoot. With two DARLING little boys and and wonderful parents too, you pretty much can't go wrong. We decided to be a little daring and try out downtown Kennewick for our photo shoot this time around. It was great guys. I love your creativity and ingenuity. The Beatles wanna-be shot is going to be SO cool. Enjoy your pictures and Thanks.

Jenni, Pasco High Senior; Tri-Cities Photographer

I've been shooting a lot of senior guys this year, and they were all great, fun, and amazing....but there's just something about a senior girl! Jenni was an awesome one at that. She showed up with all her different looks and was pretty much willing to do anything. She brought her little entourage of Mother, sisters and boyfriend. Not only were they a great audience but also the most helpful of Sherpa too. Jenni is on the Pasco dance team so at the end of the shoot, we tried to capture a few of her moves. Thanks for the great shoot Jenni and I really apologize for calling your boyfriend, your little brother.

Pam & Matt: Wedding Photography, Tri-Cities Washington Wedding

Its really rewarding when you get to meet a couple a year out from their wedding, and watch them plan and prepare, shooting the engagement, watching the moment of their first glance, then finally capturing their wedding day! Such was the case with Pam and Matt. They have become more then clients to us. Keslie and I had such fun teasing Matt, and laughing with them, they are just too much fun. They picked the one day in September to get married that was suppose to be almost always sunny and warm statistically according to Farmers Almanac! Farmers did not disappoint! It was a nice sunny day. I think if we gave out awards this year on our weddings, Pam and Matt would make some marks for sure....now its already assumed that each bride is stunning and fabulous so we don't even try to pick favorites there, but some other categories are fare game. Pam and Matt would win the "Dance your socks off" award. They had more guests at this reception that were totally marathon dancers, including Pam and Matt themselves. They danced and danced and then when they were completely breathless.....they danced some more! I'm sure I lost 10lbs. just watching them!

The other award they would win is............"cutest dog owned by a groom!" I'll save that picture for last.

Another award they would get is.........." easiest going bridal party" award.
I just loved all the groomsmen and bridesmaids, plus the ring bearer....well he stole our hearts for sure!

Matt and Pam we are so happy for you both, and really think you need to capture every moment of your honeymoon....We are already packed!

Wiley; Senior 2011, Tri-Cities, Washington Photographer

Wiley is another senior from my Alma mater. Go KeHS Lions! I have to say that I'm having pretty good luck with my seniors from there. They've all been a blast. We had a grand time shooting an old grungy alley. Wiley is a musician and brought along his gorgeous guitar. Unfortunately he forgot the electric one at home. That would have been a blast. Thanks so much for a great shoot Wiley!

Good bye party for the infamous gold velvet couch named Buster! Buster is retiring!

I purchased this amazing couch Buster over a year ago. It has been used in over 30 shoots! I have a request for it almost every week. The thing with Photography is you have to keep pushing yourself to try something new.....This means that I need to say goodbye to this couch and let it find a new home in another part of the country. I have found a buyer in Portland, the couch will continue to grace the walls of homes and live out a glamorous life as it should in another studio. I'm thinking its time for a four poster bed! Ive been on the look out for months. I wanted to make sure and send this couch off in style since it has been such a loyal part of our family this past year. So I'm putting together a send off party on the bluffs over looking the valley, and in the middle of the apple orchard near Benton City. That's where the couch really shines, and it makes families and couples and everyone so happy. I'm opening up 10 slots on October 16th. 15 min sessions, you must not be late or you loose your slot! Dress warmly, it gets cold up on the mountain, not a good thing for very small children or older individuals. You pay upfront to secure your slot. You receive five images to view online, a 16x20 styrene mounted textured print, and a full rights release file of that same shot to use on your websites, or print more copies where ever you want. The session fee is 325.00 . The groups have to be limited to 10 individuals per session. This would be an awesome experience for an office or club, or your pets! The couch loves animals! Most office shots tend to be a bit dry.....this would be a fun conversation piece to hang in your office and a fun memory for your whole staff. Book now and pick your slot! Can't wait to see you on the mountain or in the orchard! One Location will be chosen that day based on best lighting and wind conditions!

If the weather is too bad, the date will be moved to October 30th.

Balloons and cupcakes will be given away in celebration of Busters retirement!

Matt & Pam: Wedding Photography, Tri-Cities

Back in May we had the amazing opportunity of driving up to Pullman to shoot Matt and Pam on the WSU Campus. It was beautiful and they were so great to work with. Matt, the Die-Hard Cougar fan loved it that we made that shoot possible. Fast forward to last weekend when we had the opportunity to shoot their first glance and they were still so fun and so great to work with. We spent the whole time laughing and joking. I even conned them into a dinner invitation at Olive Garden at one point. During the shoot, Matt just happened to mention that he'd gotten free tickets and a ride up to go to the WSU game which was going on at that moment. That guy has really got to be in love to be missing his beloved WSU. Thanks for such a wonderful photography shoot. We can't wait to be a part your wedding next weekend!

Baby C

In my years as a photographer, I've had the opportunity to shoot it all. From Grandmas on Harley's to "a little too wild" backyard weddings, but I just have to say that there is nothing more beautiful than the image of a child. Baby C was no different. He was a little unsure of the camera but we still managed to get lots of smiles and adorable looks. Some shoots you walk away drained, some you walk away uplifted. Thanks Baby C for making my day. Enjoy your pics.

Colin: Senior Photography, Tri-Cities Washington,

Colin was so fun to work with. Its always fun when we get to use great props like his car. They don't allow them in yearbook, but that doesn't stop us from having a lot of fun capturing the things that are important and mean something to each senior. I have shot dogs, instruments, sports gear, members of the family, special shoes, and each of these items always tells a story about whats important to them at this time in their life. We also saw lots of spiders on this shoot, this didn't make Brittany too excited, she came to help, and I'm sure wasn't counting on that. The last spider, no kidding had a one inch fat body! I tried to get a shot off but it was dangling too far above our heads and I could have gone and gotten my long lens but it was starting to creep me out. Thanks Colin for being so great, and I really had a lot of fun getting to know you.

Cory: Senior 2011, Hanford High School

Cory's mom and KB Photography go way back so we were really excited when they called us for her youngest son's senior pictures this year. We went over and shot at Anthony's restaurant in Richland first and it was so beautiful there. I'm not sure why this is one of the first times I've shot there. Besides that, the smells wafting out of the restaurant were heavenly. I think Cory and his mother caught me wiping drool more than once. We had a great time and Cory was an awesome subject. Good luck with everything this year!

Shawie: Senior- Tri-Cities, WA Photographer

Thirteen years ago when my husband and I were first dating, he was sending me an email while I was home for a school break. His 4-year-old niece Shawnie came into the room and asked what he was doing. He told her he was emailing his girlfriend. She looked up at him, her big eyes tearing up and said, "But Uncle Judah, I thought I was your girlfriend...." Well Shawnie, I know we got off to a rocky start, but I'm hoping we're over that now. This shoot was so much fun. Shawnie and her mom flew in from Colorado and we spent the next few days tripping all over the Tri-Cities, hitting all the hot photography spots. Thanks for the visit. This was one of my favorite shoots. You are such a fun and amazingly beautiful girl!

Jillybean...so cute! Tri-Cities, Washington Child Photographer

Jilly is one of my favorite subjects to shoot. She's completely adorable and all smiles. I love shoots like this one. The location was perfect, the weather was perfect, and Jillian was perfect. The only thing I need to remember for next time is that 7-month-olds can't stand on their own. Sorry Jilly.
