Watkins Photography Is Moving to Bloomington, Indiana!
We’ve got some huge news — and trust us, this isn’t your average “we moved and got a new couch” type of announcement. Nope, this is bigger. This is bolder. This is Watkins Photography taking a major step forward.
After years of proudly serving our incredible clients in Washington state, Watkins Photography is officially moving to Bloomfield, Indiana, proudly serving the Bloomington, Indiana area and beyond. Yep, we’re packing up the lights, lenses, and (way too many) camera batteries and heading to the heart of Indiana.
This move isn’t just a change of scenery. It’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter — one that means even more opportunities to tell your stories, capture your moments, and create unforgettable images.
🎯 Why Bloomington?
Bloomington isn’t just a city — it’s a vibrant community full of energy, creativity, and growth. Home to Indiana University Bloomington, bustling businesses, and thriving local restaurants, the area is brimming with people and stories worth capturing.
This city checks every box for what Watkins Photography stands for:
Community: A supportive and creative local scene.
Opportunity: A growing demand for professional photography in personal, corporate, and creative spaces.
Inspiration: From fall colors to historic architecture, there’s no shortage of beauty to work with.
Whether you’re an IU student preparing for internship interviews, a local business owner looking to elevate your online presence, or a family ready to capture timeless moments, we’re ready to make your vision a reality.
📸 What’s Not Changing
