Emma + Session Favorites

Emma was kind enough to be the first to let me photograph her with the floral headpieces I made this summer.

The girl's seem to really enjoy wearing them and tell me, "They make me feel so pretty."  I photographed a sisters session recently and extended my hand to take the headpieces from them after several shots and they both grabbed their heads and said in unison, "No!  We love them" and that just makes my heart all warm and fuzzy.

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.

If you are interested in scheduling a summer session, please contact me here.

Another favorite from my session with sister's, Ryan and Taylor.  There's so many favorites it's hard to choose just one for photo of the month, but this image tells a story of the closeness they share.  It was evident during their session, the interaction between them is so genuine and loving.

Sisters | Ryan and Taylor + Session Favorites

These beautiful sisters were a dream to photograph.  When they arrived it was snowing, but they were "all in" and willing to go forward with our photo session.  We were not able to use all of our planned wardrobe changes due to the weather, but this is just a lucky break for me, because this means I'll be photographing them again this spring!  

Bellevue Portrait Photographer | Miss M. Session Favorites

Four locations and a pretty young lady up for anything!  We wanted to take in some of the gorgeous fall colors, a water backdrop and even a little retail and vintage fun.  She likes Justin Bieber (Shhhh...so do I!) We talk about our favorite colors, YouTube videos, clothes, school and sports. I really enjoyed our afternoon together talking and laughing.  I shared a hair trick from my old hairdressing days (eons ago,) which we practiced no less than thirty times and by the end of our session, she became a hair trick pro too!
