4th of July – Bicentennial Park

Happy Birthday Day America! As a photographer I feel like I was actually able to capture a firework in a photo. What do you think? These were taken at Bicentennial Park in downtown Joliet. All the photos we shot in manual and had varying settings from 30 seconds to 6 seconds for the shutter speed. I personally shoot with my ISO on auto and then my F-stop was either at F-22 or F-8.

2018 Clients – A look back ….

Here are a few of MY favorite client photos from 2018!

Happy New Year

These 6 photos were taken on 6 different days in 2018. The first photo is very special to me because it is of me but it was taken with my camera during a photo shoot by a very dear friend of mine. The second was somewhere in the Olympic National Forest. I say somewhere because we were camping for 3 days and didn’t have cell service for at least 2 of them. The third was taken while I was working for a client in Arizona last month. The fourth was taken during our adventure for Kingston’s 4th birthday. The fifth photo was taken at Illahee State Park in Bremerton, WA. The sixth photo was taken at the Hubert Christmas tree farm in Seabeck, WA.

Exploring Lake Pend Oreille

I had so much fun exploring Lake Pend Oreille again while I was in Idaho this summer! We are extremely lucky that Scott’s grandparents have a house on the water and we can just jump onto the boat and go! Grandpa John takes us on his famous Jungle Cruises! I am always on the lookout for moose, elk and deer. They like to take a swim in the water during those hot summer days. Lake Pend Oreille in the northern Idaho Panhandle is the largest lake in the U.S. state of Idaho and the 38th-largest lake by area in the United States, with a surface area of 148 square miles. They also say that since the lake is so deep they do submarine testing too. My favorite fun fact that I discovered this summer was that Matthew Mcconaughey bought a house right on the lake! I can’t wait to come back and maybe run into him at the local grocery store … the town is very small it could happen!
