Just yesterday, the Peninsula Daily News published their Best of the Peninsula supplement, and we are proud to announce that we received the honor of Best Photographer for Jefferson County! We wanted to say a special thank you to all the Peninsula Daily News readers who voted for us, and thanks to all our clients for their continued support as we start our 10th year in business this fall!

Tami and Nick recently came up for their engagement session, and we had a great time shooting around downtown Port Townsend for their wedding guestbook. We photographed with just Tami & Nick for the first half of the session, and their new dog Izzy came along for the second half, completely stealing the show!

Here are a couple of shots of the finished book - with cover imprint and brand new hinged pages designed to lay flat for easy guest signing.

Just wanted to post a quick note to say thanks to Ivey for working with me the last 14 years or so!

I’ve sent them countless rolls of slide film over the years, and they never damaged or lost a single roll. Ivey closed down with almost no notice at the end of June. By the time I found out, they were already closed and I had more film in the mail on the way to them for processing! I’m somehow not surprised that they have closed - it’s obvious that we’re in a digital world these days, and even Kodak is already discontinuing some film formats. I still shoot slides for artists that need slides for show entries and gallery submission, and also photograph paintings with 4x5 film. With the closing of Ivey, my 4x5 film is now going out of state for processing!

Here is an article in the Seattle PI about Ivey’s closing.

Thanks to Ivey and the Ivey Staff for all the years of great service and for helping support the Northwest’s professional photo community!

Don Tiller is a local painter we’ve been working with for the past couple of years. He’s been working really hard and it’s great to see that he’s featured in the July/August issue of Artist’s Magazine! He’s got a painting on the cover,

and a full six page spread including a step by step painting demo. We're proud to say we've photographed all the art published in the article and did the portrait of Don too! You can check out Don's Site here, or the Artist’s Magazine site here, or download a PDF of the article from Don here. If you’re in Port Townsend, you can get a copy at QFC here in town.

Tonight is graduation night for PTHS class of 2008, and CHS graduation is this weekend! I wanted to say congratulations and a big thank you to all the seniors we had the pleasure of working with this year! 2008 was a great class! This year we photographed Seniors from Port Townsend, Chimacum, Sequim, Neah Bay, and even a senior from Colorado and one from Arizona! We just last night uploaded a new seniors portfolio, full of many of our seniors from this year. Good luck class of 08 - we wish you the best!
