I met the Odievich family at the amazing Gas Works Park on what has turned out to be the last sunny day we've had for a while.
This session couldn't have been more fun. The light was beautiful. It was warm out, despite the wind blowing off of Lake Union. And the Odievich family was a absolute joy to work with.
I hope you enjoy their photos as much as I do.

Part of the fun of being a film photographer is the delay between when I photograph a client and when I get to see the images. When my scans come in, it's like Christmas, every time.
Usually, I post an image or two from each session on Instagram. But, I thought I'd share them here as well.
Last week on Instagram was all about newborns, puppies and vintage cameras.
I love my job!

Okay my friends! It's that time of year again! Santa is coming to Seattle and will be in my studio on November 28th 2015 from 9:00 to 3:00!
These are by appointment sittings, so no standing in line! Just a ton of Holiday fun!
We have two packages: $50 includes the sitting and an online gallery for viewing and ordering prints. $80 includes the sitting, the online gallery and a complete set of (printable) digital files.
As always, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Right Care of Washington, an amazing non-profit that provides speech services to children with profound speech and language delays (like my son Harvey) . These children get quality, life changing treatment at no cost to their families (which is truly amazing!)
Remember, these appointments fill up quick, so send me an email and get on the books today! (sandra@sandracoan.com)
Photographing babies always brings a smile to my face, but this little baby made me laugh out loud. Such a cutie!!

I launched my business 15 years ago with a maternity photo of a dear friend. After all these years, photographing pregnant women is still brings me joy. It will always be my first love. :)


What is it about tiny newborn toes? They make me swoon.

Babies are always adorable! But this little baby is just straight-up hilarious! These images are the first eight photos I took on this roll of film. I lined them up in the exact order they were shot. And each photo was taken just seconds apart from the previous photo.
Happy. Sad. Happy. Sad. Happy. Yes! Happy. Wait, not sure. Okay... sad.
Too funny!
