DAY 2: We will go out on location and shoot together as a group, applying  what we discussed the evening before. Toni & Joe will be there to work with each student as they apply what was learned the day before.
DAY 3: On the final day, we will meet back at Tonic Studio.  We’ll grab coffee and review the images taken the day before, looking at them with a critical eye, talking about what is good what could be improved and how to do things to make those improvements. Finally, we will also look at your images through the eyes of an artist, practice refining that “eye” and choose the best image from your shoot.
Course will be limited to 6 students in order to keep the focus on each student.

Taking the journey in life with Brandon, Tara & Ava : Family & Maternity Portraits Part 1

Filed under Babies, Lifestyle Portraits • Written by admin @ 4:33 pm

We were there when to witness the bond and the love between this family when we took their engagement and family portraits a few years ago.

We were there for her beautiful rockstar bridal portraits.

To view the whole blog post for Tara’s rockstar bride photo shoot, click here.

We were there for their wedding day as they vowed to spend forever together. Click here to view their beautiful La Conner wedding.

And so it was so exciting to get a phone call from her, asking us to photograph her maternity and family portraits. Their little girl is going to be a big sister and she is having TWINS. How exciting is that!

We spent a Sunday afternoon at Northern State Park in Sedro Wooley to capture this beautiful stage of their life.

Here are a few  favorites their maternity shoot. Will be posting more soon. Stay tuned for more next week!

Sneak Peek : A day in the life of this beautiful family {Skagit Valley Family Photographers}

Yesterday, we spent some time with this beautiful family documenting their family and maternity session. We’ve  watched this family grow as we photographed their engagement portraits and were their wedding photographers. It’s truly amazing to be with them again and document this beautiful stage in their lives.

Little Ava will soon be a big sister to not one but TWO siblings! How exciting is that. And Tara, she is even more radiant and beautiful now as a pregnant mom of twins.

I’m not quite done editing yet but couldn’t help but share these sneak pee images from their day. There are so many other gorgeous images but I will save those for the full blog post.

In the meantime, here are a few images I fell in love with.

Happy Monday!
