A look back at 2017

As I am looking at all of the photos that I took during 2017 I wonder what I didn’t shoot! This was the year that my photography business really took off and I ended the year doing it full time. As my husband says … “Go and follow your dreams!” when really I know he is freaking out and doing the math about how much I was making working for the Mariners and I was only making about half of that when I decided to do this full time. I think that 2018 is already off to a BANG! Since I have already had 2 new bookings and 4 others asking for more information.

I couldn’t choose one to go on top … I love them all in their own way!

Welcome home to the USS Nimitz

So many of my friends spouses were deployed with this girl for 193 days … or something like that! Obviously this means that I am also taking photos for them. Well I took a few more too! About 30Gb worth actually … I think that might be the most I have ever taken in a day.

Welcome to Canada Eh?!?

Welcome to Canada Eh?!? Yep that’s right! Scott and I are in Canada for a week. He needed a vacation … I will never say no to that! We chose Canada since we live so close already! We took the ferry from Bremerton over to Seattle and drove north to Vancouver. We spent the night in a cute little town outside of Vancouver called Delta before we boarded the ferry to Vancouver island! It was raining …. surprise surprise here in the Pacific Northwest. We got up super early and  we were able to see the sunrise on the beach! That was pretty cool! And I’m talking temperature wise and on the awesome scale! After the ferry we drove to our little cabin in the woods. It is located in a small town outside of Victoria, BC called Sooke.

We will be here for 3 days and then moving to another cabin for the remainder of our trip. So far on our wildlife bingo card we have seen birds … and an OTTER! Yep I was WAY to excited and didn’t get the settings right on my camera to actually get a picture. Guess I will have to see another on right!

We did talk to a really nice local and she told us of a place called Potholes Park here in Sooke. She said she was up there a few weeks ago and she was able to see the local bear population feasting on the salmon run! We took a drive up there …. no bears …. but I did get some amazing photos of the Sooke river and the waterfalls in the park. According to the locals this is the off season and things have calmed down quite a bit here in their small little town. More to report soon!
