Portrait Sidewalk Sale September 18

The Historic Fairhaven Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, September 18 is a huge one-day event throughout Bellingham’s Fairhaven district. Look for tents in front of businesses throughout the neighborhood where there will be bargains on books, clothes, portraits, pottery, shoes, and much more.

I’ll be out on the street in front of Finnegan’s Alley at 1106 Harris Avenue, where my studio is located, with an outdoor portrait studio. Stop by for a quick portrait of you, your kids, your family, or your pet. Bring your friends, bring your funny hat, dress wild or dress mild. It’ll be fun and it’ll be quick. Packages begin at just $20.

Fall is Perfect Portrait Time

This is my favorite time of the year to photograph familes and seniors outdoors. The weather is still nice, the light is flattering, and we’re starting to get a little color in the maples and shrubs. Soon the rainy season will be upon us again and we’ll all want to curl up with a good book by the fireplace.

Fall is also a time when families are starting to think about Christmas and other holiday gifts, as well as Christmas cards. With a fall portrait you’re a step ahead of the game and can avoid the holiday rush.
For high school seniors, yearbook deadlines are coming up fast in October. If you haven’t had your portrait made yet, there’s still time but you shouldn’t delay any longer.
Call 360-671-6851 today to schedule your session.

That’s across the street from Dos Padres restaurant and above Wild Blueberries children’s boutique. The elevator is to your right as you enter the building from Harris. Continue Reading »

Herndon-Schepper Family

Planning Your Portrait

Everyone takes snapshots of their family. We want to preserve the memories of good times together, vacations in exotic locations, and goofy things our kids do. We don’t put a lot of thought into these pictures. Just grab the camera, line everybody up, and snap away.

When it comes to investing in a professional portrait it pays to spend a little time planning. What you wear, where your portrait is made, and where you will display it in your home are all important.
