Design Transition | Bellevue Portrait Photographer

Changes are coming!

My website is being redesigned (yes, once again!)  This time on an entirely new platform that will be offer a much better experience for the visitor.  Unfortunately, there is a quite a learning curve and it's taking a bit longer than expected.

Along with this process my blog will be redesigned and ported over to the new platform, which will take some time--possibly weeks--ouch!  In the meantime, I have been posting on my social media as I do not want to further delay the time frame by creating blog posts on the old platform.

I've provided the links below where you will be taken to my personal and professional posts until this transition is complete.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Bellevue Boudoir | Beautiful boudoir session

This beautiful mother of two came in last week for a boudoir session, along some gorgeous lingerie and her Jimmy Choo's.  She has a smile lights up a room and it was a pleasure working with her.

Into The Forest | Beauty

This image is from a session I photographed back in February that I recently re-edited with a technique that works aesthetically on a very few images.  I thought this technique was a perfect fit for this image.  

I know it's cold outside this time of year, but my boudoir clients are courageous!  I hope one of my upcoming boudoir clients will brave the cold before the fall colors are gone.  (I'll have a heated towel waiting for you and it doesn't take long for me to capture a few frames.)

Beautiful Boudoir | Bellevue Boudoir Photographer

This was a fun session.  I knew Mrs. B. was nervous, but her willingness to make her upcoming 35th anniversary special for her husband who has wanted her to do this for years was the catalyst and when the session ended, she let out a giggle, I think she couldn't believe she did it, but she did and it was a real pleasure working with her.

"Really...Thanks again, you made the experience fun & empowering for me.  My husband is going to be so surprised, I wish I could get a picture of his face when he sees this."  Mrs. B.

Bellevue Portrait Photographer | Studio Session

This stylized photo session was planned weeks in advance.  I made three tulle skirts, a floral and tulle shoulder piece and all the individual flowers by hand.  I visualized the session in my head and hoped everything would come together as planned. and it did!  What a fun session and a good time we had shooting it in my studio.

I wasn't able to fit anything to Emma prior to the session, but as you can see below, she was beautiful.  I encourage clients to make their own tulle skirts, or vintage dresses and I'm happy to collaborate ideas and think outside of the box to create beautiful portraiture.

If you are interested in booking a beautiful portrait session like you see below, please feel free to contact me.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner!  If you are interested in booking a boudoir session you can visit my boudoir gallery here.

Bellevue Photographer | January 2012 - Photo of the Month

During the snow days of January, I had 10-inches of snow up here!  I wasn't able to get out for about four days, so what does a photographer to do that was waiting for snow sessions and then couldn't get out?

Get on Pinterest of course!  I love Pinterest for inspiration and ideas, it's a great place for me to work with a client and collaborate on concepts.   One night I found this little DIY project for a fun and creative window treatment and since I have so many windows in my home I decided to try it, because I think it would make a fun backdrop for boudoir or seniors. 

I must admit, as I was making these snow strings, I thought, this project is for someone with a lot of time on their hands... but in the end it was worth it and I can't wait to try these with a client!

Bellevue Photographer | Resiliency: The follow up

Here's the follow up to last night's post.  I was quite concerned about this tree, but look at the difference a day makes!  I was ready to cut this tree down yesterday!  I'm so glad I didn't, I learned so much through this experience,which is a metaphor for life; patience, resilience and a hope.  I will always think about this tree the next time I'm struggling, it will be a good reminder for me that with a little patience and hope, things will be just fine.  I'm resilient too.

Bellevue Photographer | Resilience

This is quite a departure from shooting seniors, boudoir, families or children.  My goodness, initially I thought that the news was going overboard, but as it's worked out, this has turned into quite a snow and ice storm.  I have a tree in my backyard that was causing me a fair amount of worry yesterday.  As you can see in the first image, well...  you can't see it, which is how it's supposed to be, but as the day progressed I noticed this large blob blocking my otherwise pretty view to the forest on the back of my property.  As the day went on, it dropped a few feet and another few feet until this morning it was on the ground!

If this tree were to snap, it was not is not in danger of hitting my home or shed, but it would be a very big mess for me to clean up!  I've learned that it's very hard to imagine how heavy a "seemingly" small limb weighs and this is a cedar tree!

I try to find the lessons in everything that comes my way, but today I was grateful that I had a the experience of watching every stage of this tree in it's descent to the snowy ground below.  It reminded me how we all need a soft place to land and with family and good friends, we are all resilient and can bounce back just as this tree is going to bounce back (I hope.)   It hasn't broken yet!  It may have a permanent bend and be crippled for a while, but over time, I believe it will bounce back.
