Preview - Crystal & Justin Olsen


Crystal and Justin were former customers of mine at the corporate portrait studio I worked for before Optimistic Photography was a true reality. They had a super-fun 1920's theme to their wedding. They were married at the local Yacht Club so we were able to take a trip to the beach to get some extra shots.







Congrats again, you two. I think you'll love the memories we captured together...

Preview - Kelly & Joe McCants Wedding

Kelly & Joe are so in love - and it shows! They were both so excited to be joining their lives together. I had the honor of consulting with them in their new home they just purchased together.
They were married out at Sunland (In Sequim). I feel very fortunate to have been a part of their special day.







I can't wait for you to see all of your photos - we caught a lot of great moments!

Event Announcement!

I just can't wait any longer!I've been losing sleep over how excited I am to present this event to the world!
I've been planning an Enchanted Fairy Day!


I'll be announcing the details soon!
My VIPs will get the first chance at booking one of the VERY limited appointments I have available for this ONE DAY ONLY event.
Not a VIP? Become one here: http://www.optimisticphotograp​hy.com/#!vip

I have the set and the costumes... you just bring the magic! After the session, you will get the opportunity to schedule an ordering appointment one week later to view and order your portraits.

FAQ:

How many costumes do you have?
LOTS! I have at least 2 sets of three matching costume sets, and a few other styles as well. I have costumes in sizes 4-12 to fit most little girls!

What if I have my own costume I want to use?
Awesome! Bring it in!

Can you photograph boys?
Sure I can! If you can get your hands on a Peter Pan outfit, it would look ah-mazing in this setting!

Will you photograph adults?
I do not have any adult costumes available, but I am willing if you provide one!

How much will it cost?
It will be a flat rate that includes the session and ONE 5x7 picture. This session fee will be PER child. If you have more than one child, you will have to schedule more than one appointment, but I will throw in a group* pose with a free 5x7.
*no more than 3 children at a time

When will I be able to schedule an appointment?
I will be announcing the final details to my VIPs (ie: you) at the end of this month, and opening appointments up for everyone else on September 1st.

What if I want more than just a 5x7?
I have great packages set up at lower-than-normal rates. These make great gifts, so make sure you get enough to share the love!
(pssst! Christmas is only 19 weeks away!)

Look for THIS photo at the Clallam County Fair

this weekend in the photo barn! I just had to put it on display to show everyone how awesome these are!
... And don't forget you can always vote for it for Viewer's Choice ;)


Stay tuned for all the awesome details coming your way soon!

Event under way...

I've been spending a lot of my spare time prepping for this awesome event I have planned for October. While October seems far away, I have this month to gather all the stuff and take promo shots, and next month to advertise.

I'm so excited about the event that I'm having trouble not spilling the beans to everyone! But the element of surprise is also one of my favorites... I can't wait! It's going to be super fun!

Preview - Johanna and Bo Pinnell Family Photos

Johanna and Bo are the cutest couple! They got married in Georgia and wanted some post-wedding family photos before they moved to Italy. The family was a lot of fun and we caught some great moments.
We shot these on a very sunny day. They picked a GORGEOUS spot - Collette's Bed and Breakfast. I could have just cozied in the building by the huge windows or wandered around the gardens forever. Here's a quick preview of some of the pictures we shot...


Congrats to you both and I can't wait to show you everything we captured!

Preview - Tiosha Senior Portraits

I had a lot of fun with this session - Tiosha is a very sweet and down to earth girl and she's awesome in front of the camera!
Tiosha came all the way out from Eastern Washington to have her photos shot (she has family in this area, so it wasn't unusual for her to come out our way) but she wanted something different than what the rest of her classmates would have so she decided on Hollywood Beach.
We shot these on a very sunny day. We got to shoot around the families playing in the water and the concert-at-the-pier, but it wasn't all that difficult. :) Here's a quick preview of some of the pictures we shot...


Thank you, Tiosha, for your patience! You were awesome to photograph and very fun to spend time with!
