2011-04-10T13:27:00.000-07:00

Here is my entry for this week's "I Heart Faces" Challenge.

I Heart Faces - Best of March

2011-04-03T12:22:00.000-07:00

My entry for the "I Heart Faces" this week is my daughter right before a birthday party at my sister-in-law's house. She has the best lighting.

This week anyone can vote so feel free to go to the contest page at http://www.iheartfaces.com/ and vote for my image.

I Heart Faces - Slice of Life

2011-03-27T13:30:00.000-07:00

After watching everyone enter the "I Heart Faces" Contest all the time. I decided to finally try it. This is my entry for a slice of life.

I of course went through the 1,000,000 photos I have taken of my daughter but decided to do something different. I kept coming back to this photo of my friend Matt aka Ogata dj-ing at Ray's a couple months ago.

Ray's Golden Lion - Jan 2011 - Ogata

2011-01-12T23:33:00.000-08:00

I couldn't decided if I should start with old photos and work my way up to recent shoots or the other way around. I decided to start with new and go backwards.

Last weekend I went to Ray's to take some pics of Ogata djing at Ray's Golden Lion. Pretty good time and if you want a place to go dance to some good music they are doing it again this weekend.

Here are some of my fav pics from the event:

Catching Up....Still

2011-01-12T22:30:00.000-08:00

Wow...I was checking out some things on our website www.TricitiesPhotography.com and noticed that I haven't done a blog post since September!

I am going to try to post one per day until I catch up on most of our photo sessions that we have done since then. I am pretty sure there are quite a few from 2010 I haven't posted.

Looks like we are going to have a booth at the Bridal Show at the Marcus Whitman Hotel next weekend. If you are going stop by and say "Hi". Nothing like doing things last minute. We have most of the stuff we need for it anyway.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Here are a few recent pics of my little one:

I cannot get enough of this pic....I apologize to 16 year-old Kinsley ahead of time.

One more post for tonight....

We had a blast being a part of the First Annual Barks for Life - Cancer Fundraiser. Stay tuned for a calendar of all of the top money raising dogs.

2011 Senior - Emily

2010-09-26T22:44:00.000-07:00

This was a fun senior session. Emily wanted something different without trees and the river. Downtown Kennewick always has interesting locations.

Amber & Jesse...again :)

2010-09-26T22:32:00.000-07:00

We have probably photographed Amber & Jesse and their growing little family the most out of anyone. Here are some of the images from their recent maternity session and cake smash. I can't believe Lakai is already a year old as well. Newborn pics to come soon of the newest addition.

One Year Pics

2010-09-26T22:24:00.001-07:00

I can't believe Baby Kaden is already a year old. You may have seen him in previous posts. He gets cuter by the day. Stay tuned for a cake smash closer to his birthday!

This Is Why I Have Been Too Busy To Blog

2010-09-26T22:05:00.000-07:00

I had a baby April 30th. Those of you that are my friends on Facebook are probably sick of being inundated with photos of her, but I can't help it. Baby Kinsley has been a fun and amazing experience and I love taking pics of her. I hope she doesn't hate having her picture taken any time soon. Its only been almost 5 months and I can't believe how much she has changed. Here are some of my fav pics of her. I plan to do a photo shoot this week to show how much she has grown and play with some of the props in the studio.

Major Catch Up

2010-09-26T21:59:00.000-07:00

Have I really not blogged since March? That shows how busy we have been. Prepare for a bunch of posts coming shortly to catch up. If you are viewing them on facebook and they are grainy or blurry, that's not how they really look and I don't know how to fix it.

Jennifer & Sean Engagement Sneak Peek

2010-03-21T23:37:00.000-07:00

Mr Brown

2010-03-20T13:10:00.001-07:00

We had the pleasure of shooting this little guy's 2-year old portraits. Seriously, could he get any cuter?

As with most 2-year olds, every other frame was about like this:

Valentine's Pics - Part 2

2010-03-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

Senior Portraits

2009-10-22T01:20:00.000-07:00

Here are some photos from a Senior Shoot last weekend. She is the daughter of the guy that took my senior pics and also one of my dad's good friends. Always the pranksters, our dads wanted me to add zits and other blemishes to the pics as a joke. Good thing I am nicer than that.

More Baby Kaden

2009-10-22T01:15:00.001-07:00

Here are some pics from K's first photoshoot. I don't know how some of you do it but posing a newborns is hard stuff. Definitely something I need to work on more.

Another Birthday

2009-10-22T00:03:00.000-07:00

I you know Cory & me personally, you know you can find us at least once a week at Phuket Thai (including a lunch date set for tomorrow) making Joy create us custom dishes. Last month we officially crossed the line from restaurant customers to people who get invited to family events with all the free Thai food you could possibly want.

Happy First Bday Kenji!!!

Yum.....

Birthday Fun

2009-10-21T23:44:00.000-07:00

One of my fav little girls had yet another birthday last month. Here are some pics from her party and a few over the last couple years I found in my computer that I forgot about.

Newborn Session - Baby Lakai

2009-10-21T23:32:00.000-07:00

I finally got the pics from our session last month online. (Prepare for a few blog posts as I have been catching up.)

Welcome Baby Lakai!!! I'm sure you'll be seeing more of this little guy too.

This was daddy's idea. He wanted the family dogs, newborn pups, and his hunting gear in a pic.

Welcome Baby Kaden!!!

2009-10-14T22:24:00.000-07:00

My bestfriend had her baby this weekend. Here are some pics from right after he was born. Can't wait for his newborn session/family portraits this weekend. I am sure my camera will be seeing a lot of this little guy.

Vanessa & Josh Engagement Session

2009-08-07T01:05:00.000-07:00

We did a quick engagement with Vanessa & Josh yesterday. They live in New Jersey so we had to wait until they got in town. Can't wait for the wedding this weekend. It sounds like it will be a pretty ceremony & fun reception.

Nick & Devon's Family Ports

2009-08-02T12:39:00.000-07:00

We did Nick & Devon's wedding earlier this summer. They didn't want an engagement session so we decided to do family portraits after everything calmed down from the wedding.

Lindsay & Justin's Wedding @ Lionsgate Chapel

2009-06-30T01:12:00.000-07:00

Brandy & John's Family Portraits Sneak Peek

2009-06-10T01:58:00.001-07:00

Here are a few of the images from our family portraits from last week. I love shooting kids this age. They never sit still which is a fun challenge and there are always images in the bunch that make me laugh when I am going through them .

...and she is officially over it. :)

Thanks for the fun session!

Speaking of Babies...

2009-06-02T02:50:00.000-07:00

Here are some images from our maternity shoot a couple weeks ago. Look for some of our images in the new birthing center at KGH when its up & running.

Devon & Nick's Wedding

2009-06-02T02:28:00.000-07:00

This weekend kicked off our summer full of weddings. I couldn't have picked a better wedding to get things started with. Devon & Nick were married at Bennett Gardens in Hermiston, OR. The ceremony was beautiful, wedding party was hilarious, and the reception was alot of fun. Congrats! Can't wait to do your family portraits.

Here is a sneak peak at some of their portraits:

One of the cutest babies I have ever photographed. She was so photogenic and just loves having her picture taken.
Bride's one request for an image was to have their rings on the baby's toes.

Also thanks to Meghan for helping me out!!

Maria & Her Kids

2009-04-22T20:00:00.000-07:00

My fav pic of them all.

This kid barely sat still the entire shoot. In many frames he is in the first one and gone in the next. We got plenty of cute shots though.

Megan & Allan Engagement Session

2009-04-22T19:39:00.000-07:00

Disturbed...Sevendust...& Skindred Concert 01/24/2009

2009-01-25T23:21:00.000-08:00

Here are a handful of pics we took at the concert lastnight at the Toyota Center in Kennewick, WA. The show was amazing and I am loving the pics so far.

The line for the concert was insane. It started out front and snaked to the end of the parking lot, came back, and the went down to wrap around the Convention Center building.

Skindred

We only got a couple pics of them.

This is the most crowded we have ever seen the Toyota Center.

Scotty Bunz & Adam from 97 Rock

Sevendust

Disturbed

Cool pic I took of the mosh pit in the middle of the crowd.

Their cat loved the tulle and would not stay out of it for anything.

Windy 4th of July = Not So Great Firework Pics This Year

2008-07-05T01:48:00.000-07:00

Last night, we did our yearly play with fireworks before the 4th night. Our big ones didn't work so well and it seems like everyone got burnt at one point. Including me, on the thumb due to a sparkler flaring up while lighting it. Who hurts themselves lighting a sparkler?....I apparently can manage to.

Here is Aaron & Josh, the first two to hurt themselves. Aaron thought it would be a good idea to throw a ground flower and held it too long and Josh grabbed a sparkler that had just gone out from his sister thinking it was a new one.

Here are my fav shots of the kids:

The best images I shot tonight. Between the guy infront (see below) of us moving into my camera view even when I moved, the wind moving the tripod, and the meh fireworks in the park this is it.

Still my favorite firework pic that I have done, its from 2 years ago.

My Second Family

2008-06-29T23:14:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I did a family portrait session for my best friend Megan's family who have always been my adopted family. Funnest family portraits that I have shot. These are some of my favorites.

Photo Blog

2008-06-19T00:22:00.000-07:00

So we have been talking about doing a photo blog and I got bored tonight and finally made it. Bear with me while I figure out all of the settings and make it look halfway decent.

I chose this over myspace because once we finally get our website updated, it can be linked to which I think will look better than a myspace blog. (Our myspace is http://www.myspace.com/digitalexpressionsstudio)

Website is www.TricitiesPhotography.com but don't bother going there right now. No links, old pics, ect. We have the goal of having it done by July 10th due to an event we will be a part of.

I hope to at least update this once a week, maybe more depending on how many shoots we do and how caught up I remain.

I'll start out with babies since we have been taking pics of them more than anything lately and I know the first person (and possible only) that will be reading this would love to see her adorable Soph as our first image posted. Plus, really, who doesn't like babies?
