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. While they pertain to my photography specifically, they also have the power to change my life in many ways, and for the better. I want to use ...

Small Business Saturday Sale!

Nov 29, 2019

Willow Bee Photography is the definition of a small business: an independently owned and operated company, by me, the photographer! My only employees are my little mascots, Willow and Cordelia- they get paid in belly rubs, treats, and kisses. Aren't they adorable in their matching Christmas sweaters? My goal for Willow Bee Photography is to become the go to pet photographer in Vancouver, Washington, Clark County, and even Cowlitz and Skamania Counties. I photograph people too, but pets are ...
