Westfall Family

The Westfalls wanted a family photo taken as a gift to their grandmother who is celebrating her 80th birthday next month. A very nice gift idea - especially for grandparents. We were going to do the shot outside in front of their ocean view in Bandon, but due to weather, we decided to do it inside:)

Name Change

So as I get my ducks in a row with my business, I've realized that not having my WHOLE name in my company name means that I need to register it - duhhh!! So instead of spending my money and time doing that every year - decided it would be a lot simpler to just change my business name - hee hee!!! I'm so sneaky - LOL!
So my photography business is now officially called Anna Aasen Photography. I've pondered changing my domain name as well - but for now it will stay the same - aasenavenues.com

Studio test

I went to a 6 hour private workshop with Steve Anchell at the beginning of the month. Learned a lot and am starting to experiment with a simple studio setup to use on location for babies especially. Just got my background yesterday and was playing with it in the living room with Arlie. She wasn't that into it so we only "played" for a few minutes and I was just using on camera flash - I think it is going to work out well though - can't wait to set up my umbrellas and practice with some REAL light. Which reminds me that I will be going to another seminar at the end of February called Captivated by the Light - I'm excited to see what that's all about!

Tillamook Wrestling Invitational

Ventured into the world of sports photography yesterday. Thought it would be fun to take some pictures of some mook wrestlers in action. Pretty sure this was their last home tournament. Congrats on a great year! Here are a few of my favorites:

Drive

Went for a drive in the hills with the fam to see a little snow - "little" is the key word - but still just makes everything beautiful.
