Northern Lights | Redmond, WA Portrait Photographer

The aurora showed up this morning, later than expected and a bit weak, but that's how it goes sometimes...  sit and wait... and if you're lucky you see the colors on the horizon and maybe some pillars of light.

This was taken from Duvall, WA

This one was taken from the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal 

Connor | Sammamish High School Senior

What a wonderful afternoon I spent with Connor finishing out my 2016 senior portrait season. We photographed Connor's session at a Redmond park.  It started to rain a bit near the end, but he didn't let a few drops of rain stop him.  We were able to get all the images we wanted.  He was great to talk to and photograph.  He's a very good student and I look forward to hearing which college he will choose to attend next fall.

Jackson | Sammamish High School Senior

I recently had the pleasure of taking Jackson's senior portraits.  I could go on and on about him!  He is such a gentleman, fun to talk to and a genuinely nice person (and helpful.)  He was very open to trying any pose I suggested.  He has beautiful eyes and a smile that lights up the room.

He is taking a course to become a fire fighter and I told him how interesting this is to me, as he is the second senior I've photographed this year wanting to be a fire fighter.  He shared how rigorous the training is and how few are actually chosen in the end.  I really enjoyed Jackson and the good conversation we had during his session.

Location scouting for Fall sessions | Bellevue Portrait Photographer

I've been location scouting this week for upcoming Fall sessions.  These photo sessions are magical, especially for children.  After I've captured a few posed family images, the kids play, toss the leaves, roll around and just have fun while I take several images, many in succession which tell a story and make beautiful canvas wall displays in your home.

Many families choose their holiday photos from their fall sessions, or snow sessions from the previous year.  If you are interested in booking a fall session before the leaves are gone, please contact me here.

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.
