I can’t began to tell you how excited I am. I just launched my new website. www.juliewaitesphotography.com Ashley and I have been working on it on it for weeks in between Senior sessions and MLHS winter sports photos. This has been a major project and I’m so relieved its over, but it was well worth the time. I loved the website I’ve had for the past couple of years. www.juliewaitesphotography.com/oldsite It was designed by a very talented graphic artist from Tri-Cities, Jared Bates. I was going to contact him again and have him create something new for me, but at the last minute Ashley talked me into trying our hand at web design. I was up for the challenge and the work began. It was through trial and error, like everything else I’ve had to learn in the last 9 years of business. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m a hands on learner and lucky for me art is very hands on. I want to publicly thank my daughter Ashley for all of her hard work and talent that she has put into the business for the last year and a half. I know she’s had her hands full with a husband, two babies and going to school full time. I appreciate her willingness not only to work with me but help me to make Julie Waites Photography even better.

2009 New Year, New Look!
January 24, 2009Happy New Year!
January 2, 2009I haven’t been very good about updating my blog this month so I’ve decided that one of my many New Years resolutions will be to update my blog more often. December was a whirlwind of family and fun. Christmas was especially fun this year watching my grandchildren and seeing things through their eyes.
Ashley and I have been busy working on my new website and hope to launch it in the next couple of weeks. It will be great to have a new look for the new year. I thought I would post images from my last session of 2008 and my first session of 2009. I have to say as much as I hate the cold I love to be out shooting in the snow. There is something so refreshing and magical about winter and I love to try and capture that in my winter portraits. The light reflected off of the snow can be a little tricky to work with but when you get it just right it’s so beautiful. Of course it really helps to have beautiful subjects to work with!
Here is Christina, my last photo session of 2008.



The first photo shoot of 2009……. Aimee!
