A family's investment



We just met with yet another really great Humboldt County family. Melina and John stopped in with their gorgeous daughter Tabitha. We talked about the types of photography they like, where we're going to photograph them, what the end product will be, etc. About half way through our consultation it really hit me: Family portraits are SO important. In these days of digital photography overload it's really inspiring to know that there are families out there who are looking ahead. They understand that coming in and getting a professional family portrait is an investment in their future. They understand they are investing in a work of art for their walls, one that can be passed down to following generations, something to really cherish. It isn't a picture. It isn't a snapshot. It's a work of art. And you know what? They deserve it. Families are precious and to be able to look up at your wall and feel that warmth when you think "That's my family and I'm proud of it. I love them!" is tremendous.

Arts! Arcata-Friday, January 9th!!!

Come on down this Friday from 6-9pm and give a listen to our friend and local strummer Lila Nelson. Lila is much loved around these parts and we're honored to have her in the studio. Of course us gents from Arcata Photo will be around to chat about photography, art, computers, fine drink and a variety of other meaningless drivel. We've got some killer new work hanging on the walls, representative of some of the fun work we've been having over the last couple months. We'd love to show it all, but hey, it's not a big place. Just big fun.
