Meet 11 day old baby Desmond. Â He was such a wide awake and alert newborn, probably the most calm and awake infant I have ever photographed! Â Usually awake and calm don’t go together in the studio, but Desmond was a breeze to photograph. Â We got so many great shots, it was hard to choose which ones to post.
When we do studio sessions, at the end, when the little ones are pretty much done with me, I like to go outside and try to get a few more. Â The change of scenery and fresh air always perk them up, and I can eke a few more shots out of them before they tell me “no more!” Â And that’s what we did here. Â These ended up being some of my favorites from the session (and the client’s).
Always fun to have these two little ones in the studio. Â Here’s two of my favorites from their session.
I try not to get too “proppy” Â (is that even a word?) with my Holiday Portraits, but a few of my favorite props I can’t resist using are the giant Christmas tree ornament that never seems to break no matter how many little hands toss it on the ground, a favorite holiday cap, and the angel wings I rarely break out of the prop closet. Â
We’ve been having fun in the studio with family portraits. Â Here’s just a few of my favorites!
This is it! Â That very last, only one available spot left for a Saturday session before Christmas. Â Seriously…the only slot! Â There are no more. Â None. Â Zip. Â Nadda. Â
THIS SATURDAY, November 22nd, at 10 am. Â Studio or local Olympia area.
Digital Session only. Â
We are making your family’s portraits quick and easy this year!  For a limited time only, we are offering Digital Only Sessions.  By doing Digital Image Sessions with no paperwork or prints, we will be able to shoot well into December, when our studio would normally be closed.  What does that mean for you?
Just want to come in for a really quick session with one subject? Â We can do that too. Â Â A 20 minute session for one subject only, one backdrop, one outfit, includes 3 digital images on flash drive for $375. Â You can choose your favorite three immediately following the session, and we’ll have your images ready in a few days.
Its that time of year again…..everyone is coming in for family portraits to give as gifts for the holiday season and for greeting cards. Â I got the chance to photograph this fun family two weeks ago in the studio and I was amazed how well their little ones worked with me! 
I’ve gotten the chance to photograph these two children separately over the last year or so, and was thrilled when I got the call to photograph them altogether for family portraits. Â I always love it when everyone matches so beautifully together too. Â
Â
We had the best time! Â Fighting gloomy overcast skies that threatened to pour forth with rain (they did after their session was over) we took advantage of the beautiful fall foliage. Â This spirited 10 year old definitely showed me his full-of-life personality. Â He was a blast to photograph…and his mom was pretty “cool” too. Â :-) Â You can see the love they share for each other, and that’s the whole point of what I do–being able to capture that bond between family members.
