Little Spencer comes in every year for Santa photos, but this is the first time she's come in for a portrait shoot. And what a joy she is to work with!! We all had a great time!
If you have been following my blog recently then you already know that I've rekindle my love affair with my old flame Film. For the past several months, every photo I've taken of my own family has been taken in film and I've loved the results! So much so, that I decided that I wanted to try it in studio, with other people's children. So I sent out a newsletter, and asked my clients for volunteers. These photos are from one of those experimental photos session. I shot with three different types of film. I love the results (but the Acros 100 is definitely my favorite!) I'll share more photos from my day of film portraits soon, but for now, here is the charming Ms. Sylvia.

We have the best parks here in Seattle! A new favorite of mine is the Olympic Sculpture Park!
It's so cool!
I had the loveliest morning working with these adorable children! Just had to share.
What a beautiful morning out at Carkeek Park! And could these two be any cuter?
I love my job!
This little guy sure loves his chicken. Sadly, I don't think the chicken feels the same way.
Last night was spectacular! And I'm happy to say that I was out in it, photographing one of my favorite families!
I had such a great vacation last week. It was relaxing and fun and everything a family vacation should be. I'll be sharing some of the photos from our trip soon! I came home to a busy weekend! These images are from a shoot I had yesterday out a Golden Garden's park. It was a gorgeous evening! The mountains were out, the light was perfect... it was a Seattle summer evening at it's best!
....The truth is fall is just around the corner. And yes my friend, that means it’s time to start thinking about your holiday photos. I know that I sound like a crazy person talking about holiday photos on August 1st, but as you know, August, September and October are usually our best months, weather wise. So lets take advantage of the pretty light while we have it! And, by booking your fall session now, you’ll be able sit back and relax knowing that you’re one step ahead of the holiday rush!
Here are a few tips on how to make this years portrait session, the best ever!!
- Schedule early. Everyone wants those prime weekend spots. But remember, there are only four 10:00 am Saturday morning appointments on my calendar every month. If a morning appointment is going to work best for your little ones, then get it on the books now!
- Think outside the nap box. If you need to work around naps when planning your photo session, think about booking something in the late afternoon, or early evening. That "Golden Hour" is absolutely stunning in the fall, and you'll get beautiful, dreamy photos out of it.
- Pick a family friendly location. Parents often want to meet at a playground or favorite park for their photo session. But, sadly, choosing a beloved playground or park usually results in a very unhappy kids. Most toddlers would much rather play at their favorite spot than get their picture taken. Instead, ask me for a suggestions. I know a ton of great spots around Seattle, and then stop off at the park on the way home. That way everybody wins!
have a great day, and I look forward to seeing you soon!
