Haws Family July Update

Adventures, In the Mountains, Personal, Travel

July 22, 2020

We photographed an (absolutely beautiful) wedding this month. I LOVED the succulent/floral mix of colors. Delicate Dusty Pink and Muted Sage Green are my brand colors so how can I not? Side-note: I just came up with those names. They should probably hire me to create crayon color names.

The rest of this month we have been out of town adventuring. I’m actually currently writing this looking out the cabin back porch at the Kenai River as I type this! …So maybe what I always say about going out of town so I’ll stop working is not completely true, haha- but sometimes I need a vacation from vacation. What a beautiful world we live in.

This month I had an engagement session reschedule due to the couple testing positive for COVID-19. What a strange time we are in.

Trent upgraded his camera to a Mark IV for some capabilities we needed for a wedding this month. It was fun welcoming him to the club (for those that don’t know this is the main camera I use) and I feel like he is starting to recognize what a truly gifted photographer he really is. He also planned and executed a trip to Alaska for us (I may have to share a post of just this trip in the future because it included A LOT of amazing photos).

Brighten got to pet lots of salmon, spend the Fourth with her cousins and Grandma on her first without-mom-and-dad trip out of town and got a haircut with bangs that I may have done just a little too short.

I got a Macro lens that I am loving. I’m perfecting flash every chance I get and watching my business blossom before my eyes!!!! <3 <3 <3 I have upgraded some of my client management system, gallery display, printing company and a few other aspects of my business that are sooooo exciting for me. I’m also getting back in the groove of engagement shoots and a flood of delayed weddings as people are re-planning- most for this fall and next spring. I’ve been overwhelmed with pride and happiness with the amount of people reaching out for weddings and other sessions. This season of business has been such a fun time for me despite the unique challenges.

Scouting for locations for date night. Trent had just got his camera this day and hadn’t set up many of the customizations he uses. The equivalent for you would be like driving a car with all the mirrors not adjusted and the seat too far forward haha.
I love it when she asks me to take pictures of her ^^).
since we were shooting a wedding on the 4th of July we had a little party with Brighty the night before. My mom and niece came too :).
Just out for a drive no big deal… and then these moose walk up. The fact that they just keep walking towards us and were not scared was a little weird to me. I actually pulled backward so I was further away and then took these.
…then I decided it would be easier to be ahead of them if momma got defensive so I pulled forward.
In case you were wondering what golden hour in Alaska looks like (11:30pm).
^both of these were also taken at 11:30pm the night before^
King Boletes and Salmon. A true Alaskan meal.
View from our deck towards the Kenai River. <3 The water is glacier melt and that is what makes it that beautiful color
TBH I grateful for the kindle because when I’m done trying to keep her from jumping into the river, we’ve eaten all the snacks and she has had enough of coloring and other games I have some down time while she watches Daniel Tiger PHEW!
The OG fisherman came along. We couldn’t have made this trip without him. The skill, the knowledge, the grandpa-ness.
My dad is also slowly becoming a photographer by default haha. We are still working on focus… :).
