Salish Sea Delivers T99 Orcas Killer Whales, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, and Sea Birds by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

June 22, 2025

Happy Summer 2025! We enjoyed a boat trip with friends sailing from Anacortes, Washington on the Salish Sea and the Strait of Juan de Fuca passing Whidbey Island, and several of the San Juan Islands in search of marine wildlife. Two days of exploring the beautiful open waters granted us many wildlife sighting gifts. We saw sea lions and harbor seals, the T99 pod of Orca’s killer whales, lots of seabirds: Cormorants, gulls, and an oyster catcher with an orange beak and orange eyes, and American Bald Eagles. Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat is pure joy that we appreciate and do not take for granted. Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio, East Bremerton, Washington.

The West Roadtrip with Friends, Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, Eastern Sierras, and Superstitious Mountains by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

June 10, 2025

Spring 2025 will be a lasting memory. I helped a friend drive her car from Washington State to Arizona. Along the way, we had overnight stops in Bend, OR., and Reno, NV., stayed a couple of days in Bishop CA., to visit friends, an overnight in very hot (107 degrees) Needles, CA., and lastly destination, Apache Junction, Arizona. I drove over 1,400 miles, and we saw dramatic and beautiful countryside with lakes, streams, the high country, the high desert, Cascade Mountains, Cascade Volcanic Arc, the Eastern Sierra Mountains, and the hot Mojave Desert and the Sonoran Deserts. We stopped along the route to take photos, stretching our legs, and during the drive had meaningful conversations. Here are some photo highlights of the trip.

April 1, 2025

Did you know it takes nearly a day to pass through the Panama Canal with it’s three locks and Gatun Lake? Last March 2025, Rich and I with about 1,000 passengers including crew members sailed on the Holland America Zaandam ship entering the area and waiting our turn at about 6 am on the Atlantic Ocean and finishing on the Pacific Ocean after 7 pm. For us, it was an unforgettable journey to see and experience this master engineering feet. Below are photos of our day.

Antigua Guatemala Photojournalism by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

April 1, 2025

Oh my heart! Visiting Antigua, Guatemala was a dream to come. It was our favorite country stop during our 15-day Central America and Panama Canal cruise, March 2025. The ancient Spanish colonial old town of Antigua is rich with culture, history, old world charm and photojournalist opportunities. The people, the colors, beautiful handmade tapestries, cobblestone stone streets, cathedrals and public squares are enchanting. And, the views of the active volcano Volcán de Fuego, Volcano of Fire, is seen from the town. I will visit Guatemala again. We barely scratched the surface - but this trip gave us a beautiful taste of what there is there. I love it so much! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio.

A Pacific Northwest Autumn Has Great Color - Just Look For It! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography.com

October 27, 2024

Visiting the town of Port Gamble, Washington does not disappoint when it comes to vibrant orange, red, and yellow colors. Maple Trees planted along the main street add a pretty line to the white picket fences and historic homes of Port Gamble, founded in 1853. Visit the Buena Vista Cemetery too, circa 1956. Can be a little spooky with foggy weather. Two weeks later, we took a trip up to Lake Crescent and were delighted to see yellow and orange Larch trees spotted throughout the evergreens, entwined with some whisper fog. Lake Crescent was spectacular at at sunrise with brilliant color, some fog, and such crystal clear water. Lastly, the Norwegian town of Poulsbo, Washington with autumn foliage. Happy Autumn! Photos taken on October 12, 2024 and October 21, 2024 by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio, Kitsap Peninsula, Bremerton, Washington.

Autumn Sweet Family Fairy Tales do Come True for the Tibbetts Family by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

October 25, 2024

Once upon a time in an autumn leaf forested land there was a sweet family: Megan, Joshua, Natalie and Mikey — the Tibbetts. They had dreamed and hoped for a crisp, sunshine-filled fall day where they could play together, lay down in the leaves, and share the natural beauty of nature together. Their dream came true at Manchester State Park where their friend and photographer, Jolly with her life-partner and assistant, Rich, helped the family create some new autumn memories…dreams do come true! Photos by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio located in Bremerton, Washington.

Once upon a time in the land of Poulsbo, Washington, a sweet family of three and their three cute pups decided to have their photos taken in their Zen garden, under the autumn colored trees decorated with pumpkins, and next to their favorite truck while looking marvelous in their black formal attire.

Organizing and getting together five kids, mom and dad, and stuffed animal kitty with coordinating fall outfits for a photoshoot is just another family day for Andrea and her hubby Matt, as they live life to the fullest with their children: Nyla, Elizabeth (Lizzy), Christopher, Henry, and Amelia (Mimi). We had a lot of laughs taking pictures and the time together flew by. Thanks so much Andrea, Matt, Nyla, Lizzy, Christopher, Henry, and Mimi — I enjoyed taking your family photos! Here are some highlights of the Hayden 2023 family photo session by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio in Bremerton, Washington.

Meet Kennedy Selby, 2024 H.S. Senior, and Her Frenchton Doggy Chloe by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

October 6, 2023

I had a super time this week taking senior photos of Kennedy with her sweet 14-week old Frenchton puppy named Chloe. Kennedy is a senior high school student at Central Kitsap High School and is a member of the 2024 graduating class. She loves dogs, the Selby family has three, and she does volunteer work for Toys for Tots in her spare time. After graduation, Kennedy aspires to enter the field of cosmetology. At Kennedy’s photoshoot we took advantage of a beautiful autumn afternoon, and also had photos done in my photography studio. Here are some photo highlights from her photo shoot. Thank you Kennedy — you are a beautiful young woman. Wishing Kennedy great success as she finishes up high school and gets ready for a new chapter in her life!
