Chapman Family | Issaquah Portrait Photographer for the Modern Family

Meet the Chapman Family.  You may remember seeing their photos from last year.  I've had the pleasure of working with them for 3 years now, and I adore them!  They have 2 girls who just loved getting their photos taken this session.  We met at the beach just before sunset after a hot, sunny day.  It was packed!  A hot, sunny day in Seattle is just hard to come by, so the entire city flocks to the water on days like this.  I'd say the biggest obstacle for this shoot was composing the photos without any beach combers in the background!  Emma and Lauren loved playing in the sand, going on a long walk, jumping off old logs, finding dandelions, running through the grassy maze-like paths, and cuddling all together on my grandmother's soft quilt.  This is one of those sessions that just came all together.  They are a sweet, happy, loving family who had a lot of fun together that evening despite all the people!

Asher - Seattle Child Photographer for the Modern Family

This is Asher.  He's the same age as Isaac, so I felt like we were comfortable and had a lot of fun together - even bonded a little!  He was a trooper as well.  We took many photos inside then went to a nearby park and did more of the same thing.  He hardly needed any bribing at all! :)

I took photos of his little sister, Lily and posted a few of my favorites last week here.  They are both sweet, wonderful kids and I can't wait to see how they grow and change!

Miss Lily - 1 year - Seattle Child Photographer

This is Lily - one of the sweetest 1-year-olds I've had the pleasure of photographing.  You can just tell how sweet and fun she is by looking at the photos below.  I'll post some photos of her big brother soon.

Happy Birthday Lily!!

Colorful Candid Portrait Session of a Seattle Child

You may remember Rachel.  In her short first year of life, we've met a few times for photo sessions.  This session was to celebrate her first birthday.  We decided to do a combo session- half in my studio, and half at a nearby park.  As you will see  below, we decided to have a summer-inspired theme, incorporate balloons, and use a plain-white background for the studio shots (called high-key so it doesn't end up looking gray).  Rachel didn't disappoint by bringing her stellar personality!  This ended up being one of those shoots where everything just came together.  We were all being silly and she had so much fun.  It shows in the photos.  Besides ending up with beautiful keepsake portraits, we really captured Rachel.  You can just tell who she is, can't you??  I love my job. :)  

Happy Birthday Rachel!  I can't wait to see how you'll change in the years to come!
