Commercial Lifestyle Photoshoot with Kelly Sievertson, Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW

Everybody gets stressed at times in their lives. Whether it be a divorce, job change, loss of family, or living in a Pandemic — life can stress you out!

Meet Kelly Sievertson, a licensed clinical social work and therapist practicing in Edmonds, Washington. Kelly came to me because she needed new images for her website and marketing materials. Our initial photoshoot took a couple of hours, both indoors in a studio setting with an office and lounge background, and outdoors, incorporating the Pacific Northwest’s nature, Kitsap Peninsula gardens, and waterfront. Here is a sampling of some of her new photos.

Our goal during this session was to capture Kelly in a approachable, likable way, while exploring the nature of joy and of trauma, which she helps people manage on a daily basis. Contact Kelly at: Crescent Wellness, Inc, 320 Dayton St, Suite 127, Edmonds, WA., 98020 / Tel: 206-202-9974 / E: kdsievertson@gmail.com, and her website at: https://www.crescentwellnessinc.com

Americana Quilt Barn Trails and Grist Mills are Picture Perfect

Quilt barn trails are a slice of Americana. They are dotted across the United States from Washington and Oregon, following the settlers of the west to America’s farms and bread basket in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and in the southern states too. Per Wikipedia 43 states have quilt barn trails. Below are quilt patch barns located in Washington State; along the Quilt Barn Ellensburg Trail, unique barns on the East Coast and a iconic Mabry Grist Mill. Images by Jolly Sienda Photography.

Happy Earth Day 2020! Earth Photos Too Make You Smile!!

Our Earth is 4.54 billions years old! The earth is precious. It’s the air we breath, the land we walk on, the land we want our children and their children to have, and as Climate Change shows temperatures are rising on land and on the high seas, drought, changing weather patterns, forest fires, pollution…all of these things put our Earth at risk. So, it’s up to us to do everything we can. Jolly Sienda Photography, based in the greater Puget Sound area (Bremerton, Washington), captures moments in time. Here are some images to celebrate our Earth!

Capturing Autumn's Foliage over 24 Hours in the Puget Sound

It’s late October and time to get outside and enjoy the golden sunshine and the cool days — where wearing your favorite sweater is about all you need! Take a refreshing ride on a bike along a forest path covered with autumn leaves or walk in a park and just listen to the beautiful silence of nature. Enjoy, brilliant fall colors: crimson, amber, golden yellow, taupe, and orange —eye candy. And…it’s all here in the Pacific Northwest. The following photos were taken in 24-hours on the Kitsap Peninsula (my home base), and on Bainbridge Island at Fort Ward and Bloedel Reserve.

Lavender, Eagles, the Coast, and Day Tripping Photography

The wonders of having a day to yourself is FANTASTIC! On these days, I love to do a day trip with my camera and rediscover favorite places while seeing new and wonderful scenes and nature. On this excursion, I chose to drive up to Sequim, Washington known as the Provence of Washington. I saw and photographed Red Winged Blackbirds, juvenile fledgling eagles in their nest, scenic coastal stops with bright yellow daisies, and purple lavender fields!!! Such a special day! And, I squeezed in a little shopping (lavender lotion) and stopped for lunch at a cute garden restaurant. Here are some of my photos from July 6, 2019 on the Olympic Peninsula!

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.

Skagit Valley Eagles and Nature Photography!

When winter arrives at the Skagit Valley, Bald and Golden Eagles, Canadian Snow Geese, Hawks, and other bird of prey feast on fish, worms, mice, and more at the barren fields that lay in waiting for spring planting. For many nature photographers seeing so many varieties of birds gather in one area is special.
