I recently photographed Lauren's brother's wedding in Anaheim and now it's Lauren's turn to be wed in July. They have a destination wedding but I was more than happy to shoot than engagement photos while they are here in Washington. There was not a dull moment between these two. They were supper playful and made it easy for me to capture the zaniness that occureed.

Hanna+Sam Family Portraits - I've got a treat for you

Hanna+Sam
Family Portraits
Golden Garden
Seattle
4-8-12

Sometimes doing family photography with young kids can be the most challenging type of shoots. But at the end of the day, it's also some of the most rewarding. Most kids have the attention span of puppies. So your best hopes of getting THE SHOT means you have to put the camera in AI Servo and shoot as if you are shooting the action in a sporting event. This means you will burn through memory cards real fast. I almost filled up two 16GB cards in less than 2 hours.

As a side note, from my conversations with large studios with many contracted photographers. I learned that some places will limit their photographers to 21 shots for any family portrait session!! I'm not sure how they manage to get any good shots in just 21 frames. Kids run around everywhere and their eyes are focused on the camera about 5% of the time.

The reward would be the youthful innocence and expressions a child can give you to make the photo a very memorable one.

Sam and Hanna have your typically American family with 2.5 lovely kids. Watching them control their kids puts a smile on my face because the task of getting a little one to sit pose and smile in the camera is like wrangling cats. =)

Justin+June E-Session - I'm so into you!

Justin+June E-Session
4-7-12
Museum of Glass
Tacoma, WA

As a wedding photographer, I have the privilege of meeting so many great couples. And from what I've seen no one relationship is the same. Each one is as unique as a fingerprint.

Being behind the lens I also witness a wide array of relationships types. Some tend to bicker more than other, some are very quiet, and then there are some where you see the unjaded kind of love. Justin and June definitely have the kind of love that emanates.

Most of the time I'm posing the couple and say things like, "pretend you like each other."

With Justin and June it was pretty much "stand here" and all I have to do is capture the affection that came naturally to them.

This genuine love makes my job easy. I become more of an observer than a person directing every move.
