My Property | Relaxed Photo Sessions

Lately I've been photographing clients on my property in Redmond, WA.  It offers the ability to shoot sessions without worrying about the weather on these rainy/sunny combination days, because I can invite clients inside to wait out a quick shower and warm up with a cup of hot chocolate.

What both my clients and I like the most about shooting sessions here is the privacy.  We don't have to worry about people watching, which leads to a more relaxed session with no interruptions.

In the examples below, it was snowing off and on this day and we took several breaks and were able to finish our session without rescheduling.

The images on the left were not taken on the same day as the session images on the right, but they show the beautiful end result.

Bellevue Family Photographer | Sneak Peek

I captured this sweet moment where Little D. wanted his parents to kiss and he was going to go to any lengths to see it happen, even if it meant grabbing mom by the hair to bring her in closer to dad.  

 

It's Fall and mushrooms are sprouting up everywhere!

Three days ago, I stumbled upon what I thought was a unique looking mushroom.  I hadn't seen a mushroom in MY yard with such a long stem (Image on the left is from day one.)

The next day I'd forgotten about the mushroom, was back in the equipment room, turned around and couldn't believe my eyes!  The cap of the mushroom had doubled in size!  (Image in the middle is from day two.) 

This morning, back out there again (yes, there's a never-ending list of duties to do around here ;)  This time I couldn't miss the mushroom, in less than 24-hours the cap opened up flat.  All this took place in just under 72-hours! 

I didn't see the little bug on the first day until I saw the images on the computer--a nice little bonus!

Eagle and turtles

Yesterday was such a beautiful day and while we can't always choose the perfect "light" for our subjects, I was able to capture a few nice images.  This pair of eagles lives on my mom's property, they also have five tutles that I saw sitting on a log sunning themselves. There's so much cotton wood in the air right now, which on the surface of the pond, but the reflections of the turtles were still visible.

I don't often get a chance to shoot much nature and wildlife anymore, but it's where my roots are and where my passion for photography began... 

It was a perfect day!
