Deja View: Port Townsend Dogs

Best of the Best in Jefferson County

The Peninsula Daily News started its Best of Jefferson County a few days ago and voting ends on July 11. What an honor to be nominated with other talented People-Photographers. https://vote.bestofthepeninsula.com/people/photographer I think every business owner in Jefferson County who has won, or has been a runner up, has appreciated being recognized by their community. Many businesses have their certificates near their cash register and proudly display them for patrons to see. I have several certificates displayed in my office. Thank you to the PDN and to anyone who takes the time to register and vote.

Wooden Boat Fun

I've had a wonderful time walking around the festival this year. Bumped into old friends, made some news friends. Getting up earlier than normal I was able to appreciate that lovely early morning light shining on boats and buildings downtown. Yesterday morning bumped into my friend Bob Triggs. As we talked I saw a window pane I wanted to use to frame a portrait of him. Bob has a wonderful Blog he writes sharing his adventures as a guide and fly fisherman. http://www.searuns.com/ #dejasphotos.com #porttownsendphotographer

Port Townsend Wearable Art Show

Running out of time to share unique wearable art from last years Port Townsend Wearable Art Show.This piece is called Mollusk Rouge. The artist is Libby Wennstrom and the model Drea DiPrete. The piece was inspired by Can Can girls at the historic Moulin Rouge and made possible by a pile of prom dresses and a fascination with octopus legs. I loved the way this piece came alive as the model danced on the runway. Can't wait to see creations at this years show on Saturday. #porttownsendwearableartshow #dejasphotos.com

Available for Adoption

This handsome Anatolian Shepherd Mix is available for adoption at the Humane Society of Jefferson County. Buck is about a year old & weighs about 90 pounds but needs to gain some additional weight. He was brought up from a shelter in Modesto, CA & came to the shelter a bit underweight. I captured several different images of him out at the shelter & purposely included photos with people in them so one gets a bit of an idea of the size of the dog. You can visit Buck Tuesday-Sunday 12-5 or call the shelter at 385-3292. #humanesocietyofjeffersoncounty #dejasphotos.com

Jefferson HealthCare

This year I had the opportunity to photograph several events for Jefferson Healthcare. I photographed a JHC Foundation fundraiser in February, their ribbon cutting ceremony for the new wing of the hospital, plus several publicity pieces they did during the year. This is my second year to photograph new employees needing professional head shots including the new Doctors staffing in the new Orthopedic wing. I love photographing professional head shots and in addition to hospital employees I also photographed several local authors, Port Townsend Real Estate agents and business owners.

Testimonial on Hiring Deja View Photography

Thanks Dallas for writing this great recommendation.

The Senior images Dallas is referring to are posted here on my Blog on February 9th.

Deja Webster was terrific to work with. I called her 12 hours before I had to submit senior photos to the school, and she took charge immediately booking the studio photos for that evening, editing them while we were there, and then submitting them directly to the school. Then, when we had a little more time, Deja took outdoor photos which turned out beautifully. I highly recommend her work.

Wedding Testimonial On Using Deja View Photography

Deja, you were amazing. All our wedding pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined! You caught so many special, little moments that if not photographed would have been lost in the shuffle of the day. We just were looking through our... wedding album last night and you captured photos of so many of our family and friends that will now be cherished forever. Every photo had a unique style that just wouldnt be there if we had hired anyone else. You went above and beyond for us, everything from being there for our rehearsal to helping us put together the picture frame that holds the whole story of the day. We were so blessed to have you photograph our wedding, we will definitely recommend you to anyone with an upcoming wedding or event, anyone who has children they want photos of and we will definitely be back with our little family someday!

Port Townsend Pet Session-Remembering A Special Pet-Sweet Rita

Family Session Recommendation

Thanks Judy and Mac for your comments on booking a family session with Deja View Photography.

When our family was all here for a birthday celebration last year we wanted to take the opportunity of having all of us together to take family pictures. There were 10 of us plus two dogs and we not only wanted a photo of all of us together but several photos of different combinations of people and dogs. Deja made it easy! She came to the house before everyone arrived to be sure that the time of day we had scheduled was right for light as we were hoping to take some inside and some outside. We were impressed with how Deja worked well with everyone (from ages 9 to 70 plus two canines)! Everyone had a good time and the pictures turned out great!

Deja View Photography-More Than Just a Pretty Picture-More Than a Pet Photographer

Often I bump into people who are surprized to learn I take portraits of people not just cats and dogs. Many people see my images every week in the Leader as part of the weekly Animal Angel Ad and assume I only photograph animals. I have been part of the Port Townsend Farmer's Market for six years and find that visitors to my vendor's booth think I only offer cards and prints of Port Townsend scenes. I have a studio here in Port Townsend and Deja View Photography offers on location and studio sessions that include photographing children, babies, families, High School Seniors, art, real estate and weddings. Give me a call today to discuss setting up a portrait session to fit you or your family's specific needs. (360) 385-2662

No Deja View at Port Townsend Farmer's Market on 11-6

I will not be doing the Farmer's Market this Saturday. I will be home editing photographs from recent portrait sessions I done. If you have missed me at the Market and are interested in getting some cards or setting up a session please give me a call at 385-2662.

I still plan on doing a couple more Markets before the last one in December if the weather holds. I will be at the Port Townsend Arts Guild Show at the PT Community Center November 26 and 27th. I should have several new products on display at that show. Hope to see you there.

No Deja View Photography at 8-21 Market or Uptown Fair This Week. See you 8-28

I won't be at the market again this week as I'm attending the funeral of a dear friend Alice Hinkley on Saturday.

Alice was 94 when she died last week. We volunteered together years ago at Kah Tai Care Center. Not long after Alice lost her husband Ottis she joined the grief support group, Tuesday Social Club, I started 7 1/2 years ago. Poor health made it difficult for her to attend the group the last couple years and we all missed seeing her.

Alice and I both grew up in Wisconsin so I had a great appreciation for the comfort food she brought to our Tuesday Social Club potlucks. She always had a tasty hotdish like the food I grew up on. She also made the best assortment of cookies and shared them with all of us at our yearly Christmas party. Alice always called me Kiddo whenever I talked to her and was always upbeat and had a smile to share. I know she will be missed by all her friends and family.

Don't Let A Little Rain Keep You Away

Father's Day Special

What a wonderful time we all had at the Port Townsend Farmer's Market last week, no wind, no rain and lots of customers. I sold several of my mini-books on Port Townsend and lots of cards. I visited with several prospective clients who were interested in having their family reunions photographed.
I also spoke to several people about my Father's Day special good until June 20th. I'm offering an in studio photo session and a gift 5x7 print for $50 which is over a $50 savings. Give me a call today to set up an appointment. 360 385-2662.

New Product-Scenic Port Townsend Images as CD Calendar

I'm really excited about this new product, a cd calendar. I had them for sale at the Art Show last weekend and have sold 25. It is a series of 12 colorful Port Townsend images that fold into and are displayed in a cd case. It is the size of a regular jeweled cd case nearly 6 inches tall and almost 5 inches wide. The calendar makes a perfect holiday gift and is just the right size for viewing on a desk but doesn't take up too much space. You simply change the photo each month, the quality of the print is so lovely you might even slip the image into a small frame.

I will have these for sale at the PT Farmer's Market on Saturday, December 5. The cost is $19.95 and if you are interesting in ordering one and you live outside of Port Townsend I can mail one to you for an additional $3.50. Just give me a call at 385-2662 if you are interested in ordering one in time for the holidays.

Visit My Vendor's Booth at the PT Farmer's Market Saturday 12-5

I plan to have a booth this Saturday at the PT Farmer's Market. The weather man has promised a sunny but cool day perfect for stopping by the market for a cup of coffee and strolling the market and doing your holiday shopping. I still have lots of cards available along with a new Port Townsend calendar, either would make a great stocking stuffer. If you are looking for something specific in the way of a card or print give me a call before Saturday and I'll make sure I have it with me that day. 385-2662

No Deja View at Farmer's Market on 9-19-2009

I will not be a vendor at the Saturday Farmer's Market this week. I'm at home working on editing lots of photos from recent portrait sessions for my clients and painting my new portrait studio. I have a 700 sq. foot portrait studio next to my home but have just expanded my space to include an additional 700 sq. feet for a viewing studio for my clients. I'm making space available for my clients to come to the viewing studio before the actual session to talk about the session and to view examples of my work. Not only will the finished photos be available on line but clients can return to the studio to view them, see different sized prints and canvas to help them with their final purchase. I hope to have the upstairs studio up and running by the first week in October. It is not too early to start thinking about a family portrait as a gift for family this holiday season. Give me a call (385-2662) to set up an appointment. I currently have some several open slots for a portrait session the last week in September.

See Deja View Photography at the Holiday Art Show 11-27 & 11-28 10-5 pm at the PT Community Center

If you have missed me at the PT Farmer's Market you can find me at the Holiday Art & Crafts Show Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. I'll have new cards from photos I took during the Wooden Boat Festival and several canvas prints. If you need a special gift for the holidays a gift certificate for a portrait session from Deja View might be just perfect for a family member or friend.

Look forward to seeing all my regular clients during this two day show. If you want to contact me before hand to make sure I have a specific card, pack of cards or a print, just give me a call at 385-2662.

Visit My Vendor Space at the Port Townsend Farmer's Market on 7-25

7-17 I had a wonderful day at the Farmer's Market today. Port Townsend and the market had lots of visitors here probably due in part to the Lavender Festival being held this weekend in Sequim, WA. The wind came up early this afternoon and many of us vendors were holding down our tents with one hand and making change with the other. I actually packed up several of my framed photographs a bit early just to prevent the possibility of breakage due to the wind gusts. I sold lots of note cards today especially those with dogs on them. My best seller is a image of a lab wearing Doggles (goggles) sitting in the back of a steel blue pick-up truck. It was a photograph I took a couple years ago when I spotted the dog in a truck in the parking lot of a Barnes and Noble in Redmond. The owner eventually came out and claimed the dog loved to wear the googles, they wouldn't last 2 seconds on either of my dogs.

I'll be back again next week as a vendor at the market. Stop by and see what new cards and prints I'll have avaliable.

I have several spaces available the week of July 20th if you are interested in a portrait session in my studio. Give me a call at 385-2662 to set up an appointment.

See You at the Port Townsend Farmer's Market on 7-4-2009

See You at the Port Townsend Farmer's Market on Saturday June 13th

I'll be at the Port Townsend Farmer's Market on Saturday. Stop by my vendor's booth and see my cards and prints along with my first 16x20 canvas print. I'm very excited about offering this new medium to my clients. The quality of this photograph actually printed on a canvas, stretched and ready to hang on a wall is very impressive. The image is of a young man I photographed recently in my studio. I plan to offer this type of print to my portrait clients who are interested in larger images along with printing several of my popular Port Townsend scenes on canvas.
