It FINALLY arrived, my studio lighting!! I had to research a bunch of stuff…then order it, then send some of the equipment back as it was missing pieces, but the last piece came today.  I’d have to say it was a little bit of an ordeal. I am super excited and I can’t wait to start using my new studio lighting setup! Bring on the babies, kids, and  headshots!

I had this idea of having a session with a bunch of babies in a tub with bubbles, I actually did a session like this when I first started out, I’ll have to find the pictures and post them.  But since my skills have improved I thought I’d try it again.  But working with three babies never turns out the way I planned…they always have their own little agendas!  It worked out as I was able to get some super cute images of these babies! This would be a perfect mini session for your kiddo, email me to book your session riojeanphotography@gmail.com

I’ve seen a lot of my photog friends doing composites and they look really cool!  So I thought I’d try something creative with an image of Rio I took earlier this year.  I think it turned out pretty cool and will definitely be playing around more with some creative ideas!  

I thought this place was pretty cool and I haven’t blogged in a while so I thought I’d share our adventure today!  I am always scoping out areas for potential sessions and this place would be PERFECT!  I don’t drink coffee, but I do love the smell and of course I love looking at all the sugary goodies. If you are looking for a place to relax this is the spot!  Check it out and if you want to have a session there contact me!  Of course my mini me model thought it would be a good idea to draw on her cute little face with a sharpie…I suppose this inevitably happens . . it’s cute though and I was cracking up with I first saw her!

Starbucks Reserve Tasting and Roastery

One of the things I love to do when I deliver client order is to also deliver something extra, in this case, its Seattle’s Chocolate!  I finally went to Seattle’s Chocolates in December of last year and bought a ton of chocolate for Christmas gifts and since then, I can’t get enough of this place! I’m not sure why it took me so long to go!?  Anyways, I am gearing up for the Taste Washington so I wanted to bring some gifts for my corporate clients and I think they will be happy!  This is just the beginning too! I have more client gifts to put together….stay tuned!
