Natural Light

Oct 17, 2020

It's been awhile since I've written a blog post, but I was inspired today after comparing photos I took yesterday, to photos I took today, all in the same spot in my yard. Why did the photos from yesterday seem more warm, and closer to the style I aspire towards? The only difference was the light. The position of the sun, and the amount of clouds made, to me, a huge difference in the quality of the photos. Cordelia, my little model. You can see the warm glow in this photo, taken on ...

New Year's Resolutions

Jan 05, 2020

It's a new year, and you know what that means? New Year's Resolutions! Most people have pretty similar resolutions: eat better, exercise more, be more organized. There is nothing wrong with these resolutions at all. If doing those things will make you happier, make you feel more fulfilled in your life, then go for them! My resolutions are much different.

It's pretty clear from my website that pet photography is where my passion lies. It's true, I want to become the go to pet photographer for Vancouver, and eventually all of Clark County! (I'm down to travel to Washougal, Ridgefield, and Woodland too.) However, it's also true that pets have human families, and I absolutely love capturing the bond that they share. I'm also always happy to capture special moments for families, couples, and high school seniors who do not have pets. My latest family ...

Then & Now

Dec 04, 2019

When I started photography over a decade ago as a hobby, I never imagined it would turn into a business. Now that I am the owner and photographer of Willow Bee Photography, I am humbled at how much progress I have made over the years. I had an eye for photography when I began, but when I got an awesome shot, it was mainly due to luck. Now when I get a great shot, it's due the years of practice and honing of my skills. Does that mean photography is easy for me now? Of course not! There are still ...
