Sweet Backyard Wedding

We will travel for work! This sweet backyard wedding, in Seattle, had lots of sass and personality. As photographers, we like to get a variety of pictures from your big day, including some smaller details. So, in addition to group photos and candid photos from the ceremony, we will get those often overlooked details that make your day perfect!

Happy Special Day, Samantha!

Samantha has not been perusing photography as much as Meredith lately. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t been shooting away, though! Her family has been traveling a lot, so stay tuned for pictures from her travels. One thing she likes to capture is cool trees and their close up details. As you can tell, she’s a sucker for some Spanish moss and driftwood. Check out these beauties from south Georgia all the way to Wyoming!

Extending the love in Longview Park

This family was all smiles, as well as colorfully coordinated. What’s better – they included the international student they’re hosting in their photos. What better way to make sure they feel as though they’re part of the family! This crew even took it to the next level with a joyful jump!

Senior Celebrates with Family

This is also a great time of year to think about getting senior portraits taken! There are so many gorgeous parks to offer a beautiful backdrop. This senior decided to let her family join in on the photo fun! It’s a fun way to sneak in a family session with a photo or two.

Family Fun in the Fall

The fall is a perfect time for family photos. It’s not too hot. It’s not too cold. But most importantly, the colors are changing! Botanical gardens make wonderful locations to capture these sweet moments. Morning sessions may start out chilly, so bring coordinating jackets like this family!

We’re back!

Hello, world! Sorry about that really long blog post hiatus. I’m sure you can understand that life gets in the way and things get put on the backburner. (Even though you never intended them to be.) But, we’re back! You can expect posts much more frequently now. Thanks for sticking with us.

Senior in the Square

This was another fun senior portrait session in the Marietta Square. This girl enjoyed walking around, seeing the sights, and posing with her dog. It was quite a hot day, and she soldiered through. She even took the time to change outfits in her hot car!

Congrats to all those who recently graduated and are enjoying their first summer out of high school!!

Senior Fever

Schools are really stepping it up these days. I remember that my brother and I had to get our senior portraits taken during our senior year. I’m finding more and more nowadays that schools want the pictures submitted by the end of the students’ junior year!

I love shooting senior portraits because you really get to learn a lot about the subject’s personality in such a short time. This cutie met me in the Marietta Square a few weeks ago. She even brought her old headband she wore in her first ever school picture and put it on for a few pictures. Her mom joined us on the shoot, and you could see how proud she was of her little girl.senior_park

Double Trouble from Days Past

The Marietta Square is quickly becoming my favorite location for a photo shoot. The park in the center of the square is great, but there are so many awesome alley ways and hidden areas that are great backdrops. Sometimes it’s necessary to find those hidden spots because of all the events that happen in the park.

That’s exactly what happened this day. Little did we know that morning that there would be the Farmer’s Market, and a fundraiser event. Needless to say, the area was packed! We had to depend on the secret spots for our shoot. And what a great shoot it was! I was delighted to photograph a family I knew from an old job of mine. I hadn’t seen the twins in a year and it was nice to see what sweet young ladies they’re becoming. Their parents decided to join us at the end for a few family pictures. Who can resist a funny face picture, especially with three youngsters?!

These Love Birds Love to Laugh

After 2 engagement shoots, we knew we would have a blast shooting this wedding. I have never met people who were more happy, goofy, and care-free ALL of the time. It’s wonderful when a wedding has that much joy to share throughout the entire day.

The bride and groom did a lot of work themselves to make sure their space looked picture perfect. One of our favorite touches was their cake topper – a sweet pair of love birds! They even included a photobooth with fun props and encouraged their guests to show their quirky sides, too.
