Sailing Through the Panama Canal by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

Did you know it takes nearly a day to pass through the Panama Canal with it’s three locks and Gatun Lake? Last March 2025, Rich and I with about 1,000 passengers including crew members sailed on the Holland America Zaandam ship entering the area and waiting our turn at about 6 am on the Atlantic Ocean and finishing on the Pacific Ocean after 7 pm. For us, it was an unforgettable journey to see and experience this master engineering feet. Below are photos of our day.

Antigua Guatemala Photojournalism by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

Oh my heart! Visiting Antigua, Guatemala was a dream to come. It was our favorite country stop during our 15-day Central America and Panama Canal cruise, March 2025. The ancient Spanish colonial old town of Antigua is rich with culture, history, old world charm and photojournalist opportunities. The people, the colors, beautiful handmade tapestries, cobblestone stone streets, cathedrals and public squares are enchanting. And, the views of the active volcano Volcán de Fuego, Volcano of Fire, is seen from the town. I will visit Guatemala again. We barely scratched the surface - but this trip gave us a beautiful taste of what there is there. I love it so much! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio.

Three People, Three Pups and a Whole Lot of Fun and LOVE! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio.

Once upon a time in the land of Poulsbo, Washington, a sweet family of three and their three cute pups decided to have their photos taken in their Zen garden, under the autumn colored trees decorated with pumpkins, and next to their favorite truck while looking marvelous in their black formal attire. To complete their fun-filled day they got comfy in their pajamas with a couple of good books, cups of coffee and their pooches. Cheers to a great family that plays well together — Chris, Allie and Gracie, and their adorable doggies! I loved helping you create some special new family photo memories!

Do you like seeing beautiful rows of multi-colored tulips that stretch for miles? Then, grab the kids, your phone and a camera and explore the gorgeous flower gardens at Roozengaarde in Mount Vernon, Washington. Spring sprung early this year, 2024, and the tulips are huge and so colorful! When I was there this week with photographer friends from the Kitsap Photography Guild, we entered the gardens at 10 am and spent two hours roaming around the tulip fields.

Eco-Therapist, Rose Vandenberghe, PhD, Environmental Branding Portraiture Session

Looking for a way to de-stress? Eco-Therapist, Rose Vandenberghe, PhD, provides thoughtful care by sharing her connection with the earth and ecotherapy: evergreens, forest, and green spaces which humans and well as creatures inhabit. Ecotherapy is an approach that rests on the idea that people have a deep connection to their environment and to the earth itself. In this same line of thinking, failing to nurture this connection can take a toll on your well-being, particularly your mental health. The following portraiture was done by Jolly Sienda Photography of Bremerton, Washington, for Ms. Vandenberghe’s website (presently under construction). You may contact her at rvandenberghepsychotherapy@gmail.com

Regain your Mental and Physical Strength by Enjoying Nature Through Social Distancing

In this time of change and worldwide awareness for our health and safety it's important to do our best to remain calm, take care of ourselves, and I believe get back to the basics of life. As you know, I recently lost Anabel, my mom, and I'm grateful she passed before the Pandemic. In honor of her life I took a few days last week to recharge my batteries and soul and to remember her legacy. I walked the beach, felt the wind on my face, collected agates and rocks, breathed fresh air, hiked, and enjoyed the comfort of natural surroundings. I'd like to share this now with you in the hope that it may brighten your day wherever you are - Jolly
