Eastern WA Photographer | New Season = New STYLE!

Summer of 2013 can do down in the history books as one of our unforseen most-busiest summers ever!  Busy is good.  Busy teaches us where we need to streamline.  Busy teaches us what our strengths AND weaknesses are.  Busy teaches us the value of what we do, as well as the time we spend doing it.  Busy also teaches us the need for clearer communications.

One of those areas in need of streamlining & clear communications in with our Senior portraits.  So to help with that, we discovered a convenient method of getting crucial info to our Seniors and their parents.  LKP now offers a "What to Wear" guide when you click below:

And speaking of STYLE, since everyone wants to feel as stylish as possible to ensure they get the full rockstar or supermodel experience out of their LatchKey Photography session, we now have a stylist whose primping expertise is now part of our LKP Senior packages.  HOORRAY!  She is a doll and we're positive you'll love her as much as we do!  Each new package allows for easier customization, since each person & their portrait needs are different.  Senior pricing can be found when you click below:

So excited for the new ways we get to get creative together! ♥

Eastern WA Photographer | Getting Educated

Have been spending what little spare time we've had continuing our education.  Today's workshop involved making the best out of the worst lighting situations.  Eastern WA is known for the desert it is.  With that comes the high afternoon sun typically depicted in western cartoons...only no buzzards here.  Shooting in that kind of lighting is not the most ideal.  But we can't always hide out indoors until the perfect light comes.  Too much of life would pass us by!  This is why we've really loved this workshop -- many thanks to Lindsay Adler, Erik Valind for their book & the CL folks for bringing it altogether online.  

One of our favorite techniques from the workshop resulted in the adorable images below of our assistant. This was shot at 1:16 pm PST, with the sun directly hung high overhead.  Normally this would be an impossible task for us, until now. We're extremely grateful for those who share knowledge, like Lindsay & Erik, and help others grow in the process.

If you're on FB and wouldn't mind tossing a vote our direction for this image, we'd appreciate it!  http://woobox.com/pmjhwb/vote/for/1107992   

Thank you & make today a good one!

HEAD-SHOT PREVIEW: ms. n

We had the great privilege of photographing Ms. N, in preparation for an important nutritional conference where SHE was one of the headline speakers!  Therefore, it was only natural that we capture some very beautiful, while extremely professional, head-shots for the conference's program.  It's hard not to be a little envious of those nutritionists who attended her workshop, as her sparkling eyes and infectious smile make just about anything that much more worth learning!  All said & done, it was an honor to play a small part of her life's "big jumps."
