I loved this session. My goal for family portraits is to capture natural interaction and emotion whether they are looking at me or each other. I try to create a space with beautiful light, simple flattering clothing and details, a fun relaxed playful mood and then capture it from a few different angles. Sometimes it takes a little bit of patience but I just love when it all comes together.
The weathermen have had a very challenging month predicting the forecast but I have had a lot of lucky days and many where we juggled our schedules to make a new time work. This day happened to be one of the few great blue sky days. We were so happy to be at the market bright and early as the vendors set up and before the crowds stepped in the way of our picture perfect moments!
We had so much fun running around the studio and I am so thankful my lights are on wheels! I was so lucky to get such big happy hugs from this little guy. Of course, I had to walk over with them and take a couple more while they enjoyed their "thank you for the big smiles" ice cream cones.
This is another one of the families I have been photographing since they were born. We had a wonderful morning exploring Kirkland. I loved how Chance wanted to hold every bug we could find for him!
I have about 65 favorites. I just love how bright, clean and simple the beach background is.
A simple thank you, I love you, or a big hug are all we really need on Mother's Day to feel appreciated. But what we want is to forever remember the feeling of looking into those innocent little eyes or wrapping our arms all the way around that little body. One of my favorite things about capturing these moments is that the moms always looks so natural and radiant when they are simply just enjoying their children. This was taken on Saturday afternoon at Golden Gardens in Ballard.
Gift Certificates available in any amount if you are still looking for a perfect gift.
Yesterday afternoon my favorite little australian cuties stopped by the studio for some fun after school pictures. The sky was perfectly blue north of us and grey to the south. It felt great to be outside, inside and then out for an ice cream... Can't wait for the Kirkland Wednesday Market next week!
Two days into our trip, Ally asked if we could stay in San Diego forever. Last night before bed, she asked why we came back. I could live there but I don't think everyday would be quite this much fun. We filled the mornings with parks and zoos and the afternoons exploring the beach areas. Carolyn was most thrilled to find bean burritos everywhere. Charlotte was amazed at the ocean and all the different birds we saw. Ally carried her backpack everywhere and collected little rocks, sticks and a pencil from Torrey Pines Golf Course. There were so many moments I loved. Here are a few...
Happy 2nd Birthday, Silly Goose! Here is Charlotte in downtown Seattle on a gray day with a mouth full of yummy croissant and crumbs on her lips. She was so happy to finally sing "happy birthday to me."
