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.
Welcome to my blog!
"A great photo happens when a photographer sees a situation unfolding in front of them that evokes an emotion that the photographer feels deep down, in the middle of their chest. And in a split second, they then make a conscience choice of exporsure, lens, depth of field, lighting, body language, composition, etc., and releases the shutter. An even greater photo is when the subject(s) in the image gets the same feeling deep down in the middle of their chest when looking at the image that the photographer did when they viewed the situation in the first place."
I'm celebrating my tenth year of business and now share my passion with my daughter, and assistant Ashley.
Please follow me on twitter so you can follow all of the fun we are having on our photo sessions.
Ready for another day working on the blog!! Getting excited for our fans to see it!! #
