Bainbridge Island Family Portraits and Paddle Boarding = Summer FUN!!!

Rich and I had the pleasure of doing annual family portraits for the EBaugh family with the beautiful, coastal landscape around Bainbridge Island and the Puget Sound. The family loves to paddle board and is enjoying the summer months outside, on the water, as much as possible. We had fun with them capturing these moments.

Here are some highlights from the OMalley EBaugh family photo shoot.

Jolly Sienda Photography took the photographs from a safe distance, using a 70 x 200 mm lens; and, we wore PPE so everyone at the photo shoot felt comfortable and safe to have fun at the photoshoot. Jolly Sienda Photography is based in Bremerton, Washington, at 240-899-5295, info@jollysiendaphotography.com, and on social media JollySiendaPhotography. Jolly Sienda Photography follows Washington State guidelines for COVID19 health and safety.

A Day at the Beach at Fripp Island and Exploring Savannah

There’s nothing like having your toes in the sand, the sound of the surf, finding seashell treasures on the beach, and exploring the antebellum architecture and historic squares of Savannah, Georgia, and Fripp Island, South Carolina. Our family has roots in both areas so every other year or so, we travel there to enjoy some family time and southern hospitality. Here are some favorite pictures of the trip featuring cultural photography and landscape photography of the Spanish Moss and the easy island lifestyle.

Got Engaged in 2019! YAY!!! Sweet Engagement and Wedding Photography Ideas for You!

One of the things I love about being a Puget Sound wedding photographer is I get to work with couples on their engagement photos and their wedding photos. It’s great to get to know each other before the wedding. Building a fun and trusted relationship with your photographer guarantees that you will have pictures that really show the love you have for each other and your pictures will be naturally beautiful.

Stupendous Ring of Fire Mountains in Patagonia's Chilean and Argentina Fjords

Have you ever dreamed of seeing the ‘End of the World’? Or, checking off those ‘1001 Things to See and Do Before You Die’? Our recent trip to South America and Patagonia provided us some of the world’s most dramatic scenery; unveiling places few ever see. The weather too, in this area, can change so quickly; from calm to ferocious gale force winds preventing ships from traveling around the Cape Horn or arriving safely in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands. Boy, did we luck out! In fact, the captain of our cruise ship said, “This is the calmest it has ever been, on my watch, sailing around the Cape Horn” The following images were taken on our journey. Happy Holidays!
