M's Senior Photos, Part 1 | Seattle Senior Photographer

Something that will most likely never get easier about being a photographer in the Northwest? Predicting the weather. We had great plans for M's senior photo session last week - a week of beautiful weather, I might add, even up to the hour before our scheduled afternoon together. But alas, for once, the forecasters got it right, and the sunny, blue sky completely clouded over, and the rain and wind arrived, literally as I was driving into town to meet M.

Nevertheless, we were able to dodge a few raindrops to have a mini-session that day - hence the "Part 1" in the title of this post. More to follow, I'm sure we'll see the sun again soon, right? Right?

Coming soon, I'll be posting photos from my awesome workshop last weekend!

Darling Baby F | Seattle Newborn Photographer

Oh, I so enjoyed meeting Miss F for the first time, she was sooo tiny and smelled sooo good! She was 11 days old when I photographed her, and was such a happy baby, as long as you weren't changing her diaper... We didn't have a lot of time together, but that just means we'll do it again soon, I hope! Here are several of my favorites...

I've really been enjoying these newborn sessions, so if you know any expectant mommies, please send them a link to my blog or suggest my Facebook page to them! 

And now for a few days of blog silence as I head off to MeRa Koh's CONFIDENCE Workshop.  I'm so excited to be attending this workshop, and hope to be back after the weekend with tons of new ideas and skills!

Baby S | Woodinville Newborn Photographer

I recently had the opportunity to be part of a newborn photography mentoring session, thanks again to my Soaring in Seattle group!  I was able to photograph this 2 week old little lady along with a couple other photog friends, while benefiting from some mentoring by Jamie Neilsen, another local photographer.  Baby S's mommy is also a member of Soaring in Seattle - what a great environment of growth and sharing this group has become!  And here are some of my favorites...

Also along for the windy outing at Discovery Park last month were some of the Soar children!  Here are some fun shots of the younger crowd...

Next up - more baby girls!

Soaring in Seattle | Discovery Park, pt 1

In April I had a chance to meet with fellow Soaring in Seattle photographers for a photo shoot at Discovery Park. What a great location!  With so many different backdrops, it was a great place for portraits.  We had some great models to work with, too, from pre-schoolers to high-schoolers. The day was SUPER windy, but we all just went for it. It was great to have a chance to learn from my peers, and have a blast doing it!  I ended up with quite a few favorites, so this will be a two-part post.  For today, check out some of my favorite shots of the two high school ladies who joined us.
