During this past school year I was trying to put together a fundraiser to help out our high school…read morebooster club and I came up with the idea of a Family Photo Fundraiser. I immediately started looking online for photographers and began to feel overwhelmed so I went to the high school office and started asking anyone who came in while I was there. I finally decided to contact Dan @ Contempo because of the rave reviews that one of the secretaries gave me. She said that she loved her Senior portraits so much that she called him when she got married a few years later to do her wedding pictures as well. At first I e-mailed Dan and told him about my idea and he was very quick to respond and tell me how excited he was to help out. He then wrote me a few of his ideas on options we could offer the families and told me to give him a call. When I did I was so excited to find a photographer who had done fundraisers in the past and knew exactly what I needed to do, since I have never done one. He even told me that he would come to my location, which several other photographers I had called did not offer. We came up with a perfect option for a town that is mostly low income and he even helped me to create the order forms that were passed out to the entire community. During this whole process I never once felt overwhelmed or worried that things weren't going right. Dan is amazingly organized and knows what he is doing. When the day of pictures came he was 30 minutes early and already setting up in the school cafeteria when I got there. As I observed him interacting with the families for the next few hours I was blown away. The first group was huge. It was a husband and wife with their daughter as well as both of the extended families (it was twelve people total). I would have gone crazy, but he was very patient with the toddlers and just went with the flow. He gave them as much time as they needed to get settled and worked with the little ones to get them smiling. I was also surprised to see him taking pictures of not only the family all together but separate ones of husband and wives, siblings, cousins, etc. Overall I just have to say that Dan was amazing and I will definitely be calling him for any photography needs I may have in the future. If you are getting married, have Senior portraits, or just want some pictures with your favorite people make sure to give him a call or e-mail.

After exchanging a few emails with Anne I knew she was the one I wanted to photograph our major milestone. Even my husband was surprised with how kindly I spoke about her because he knows how much I struggle with trusting photographers. We had everything planned several weeks ahead of time so I could rest easy knowing everything would be perfect the day of. I was thrilled when we arrived at her easy-to-find cozy studio in Olympia. We were all wearing masks and her studio was so clean and comfortable. Having twins means you need A LOT of stuff and she wasn't phased in the slightest. Anne kept such a positive attitude throughout the whole photoshoot, even when one of my twins kept crawling away from the set. I regret not finding her sooner to do my maternity photos and newborn photos. We highly recommend Anne and her Fairies & Frogs Photography business and can't wait to work with her again in the future!
