I feel that pictures capture memories forever and that is why everyone should have Family pictures taken regularly; and by "family" I mean  I think you should include the family pet. I am so happy my family has had pictures taken over the years. I make my kids have their pictures taken almost every year, with me in the picture! It doesn't matter if you think you aren't photogenic that isn't  what other people are looking for; they want the memories. We all live on forever in our photographs.

                                                  Hi my name is Kathy Tugwell and I am the Photographer for Kathy's Photo Impressions.

                                    Our Studio is in our converted garage, which means there is NO hurry. We take our time and make you comfortable. It's a very relaxed environment. We take as many brakes as necessary. So the kids can settle down (the furry ones too!). No one wants to be rushed, especially when it is for something so special as memories.

                                    We have a lot of backdrops in different colors and textures so, prior to our session I like to know what you will be wearing; how many will be in the photo; and if there are kids and their ages. I encourage you to bring any props you want in the picture. I am not a big one for props, I feel that the prop takes away from the subject, but a favorite blanket, teddy bear, car, horse, dog......whatever, is fine. It is your decision. You and your family need to feel comfortable. We also have a backyard with a corner that is just for pictures, so we can photograph outside, weather permitting. We can also go to your favorite location, if that is what you want.

                                    I love taking pictures, love people and animals. I grew up in a beautiful part of the Northwest, Port Angeles, so photography was something that just happened. It started with my dad buying me my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic 100. I have since gotten a much better camera and a lot more experience.

                                                                 If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me or e-mail me.

                                                                                      Hope you enjoy our website and gallery.
