Hood River
CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF PEOPLE AND PLACE I believe that memories are important, and moments matter. Light can be fleeting and elusive, and so can life, if you don’t take the time to record and remember the things that matter most to you. Pairing technical proficiency with artistic vision, I produce timeless photographs which capture the essence of people and place by preserving natural beauty and authentic moments.
A Passion for Photography ~ Christi Thayer Photography As a photographer I have always enjoyed getting to know my clients and offer a genuine passion for capturing their true personalities in a fun and relaxed setting. I have dedicated my life to fine tuning my skills and take pride in offering my very best in all I do for my clients. Not only do I offer over 22 years of professional experience, but also the latest and best in equipment, editing tools, printing services and props. Photography defines me and every day I feel blessed to be doing what it is that I love the most - capturing beautiful images of you!
So many things go into creating great images. From the moment communications start with my clients, the creativity begins. It's in the getting to know people and in understanding what they are hoping to capture. It's in part cultivating an environment that allows my clients to feel comfortable so that they can truly open up and enjoy our session time. This is when true personalities shine through. And it is in the editing process. Ansel Adams in one of my mentors. He believed over half the magic happened in the dark room. This is still true today. There are so many wonderful ways a image can be transformed in post production. I love every aspect of creating amazing images for my clients, from start to finish! It's all in the details and in the moments and how they are all brought together!
First I like to ask how people found out about me. Many of my clients are referrals and I want to be sure to always say thank you! I then inquire as to the scope of work they are wanting services for. With over 18 years professionally in the business I offer a wide variety of services and want to first pin down what their needs are. After that we talk about dates, availability and scheduling details. Then the fun begins as we start planning all the details to bring their vision to life!
The people, my clients, whom I get to know pretty well. Over the years some have become friends, it's pretty wonderful. I just love people! Whether I find myself sitting on the floor of my studio talking with a toddler about silly jokes or in a corporate office planning a staff group photo, I so enjoy working with people and getting to know them. My number one goal in what I do is in understanding my clients objectives and exceeding them. Additionally, I simply have a lifelong love and passion for art and for me photography is art!
I have always held a deep rooted passion for photography, for details and for making things beautiful! When I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now 22, I scheduled a pregnancy session with a studio near my home and within her first week we returned her for her newborn session. There was so much emotion that went into those moments, and to this day I treasure and hold those images very dear to my heart! I had always had a camera and had done on location sessions for friends and family, as well as landscapes for myself. During my pregnancy I started taking professional photography classes as I wanted to make sure I captured every moment and every stage of my daughters life! And boy did I! Professionally I had been an Interior Designer. When my daughter started preschool rather than going back into my field full time, I decided to open my first studio. I wanted to give the same emotions of capturing special moments to my clients I had enjoyed in capturing my own. Initially I specialized in Pregnancy and Newborn Sessions as well as Children's Portraits and Wedding Photography. My work was very stylized, always in the studio and always with black and white film using a medium format camera. It wasn’t until moving to The Gorge, with all of it’s stunning scenery and landscapes, that I started offering my clients on location sessions, props and color. As with all things, my business has, and continues to, evolve. Two years ago after planning multiple weddings for family, friends and even my own, I began offering wedding planning services. This new addition to my business is deeply rooted in my love for Interior Design. I love the details, I love planning, and I love making everything as beautiful and as perfect as it can possibly be. My business allows me to enjoy all of the things I love the most, which includes making my clients happy!
With so many photographers to choose from, why choose me? I would suggest to anyone who is in the selection process to ask questions. How long has a photographer been in business? How much experience do they have? There are so many people claiming to be photographers these days who simply purchased a camera and started taking photos. There are also a lot of photographers out there who have paid their dues. They have taken the classes, they have extensive time in the field, they have fine tuned their editing process, they have truly professional equipment and are using a pro lab to render their products. These things define a true professional from a hobby photographer. This should be the first thing you define in your search. Secondly, do they hold a passion for their work and do they have great relationships with their clients. And finally, do you love their work? If you can answer yes to these questions you have found a professional photographer who is going to bring your vision to life and who is going to make you happy! I would like to believe I am all of these things for my clients.
