King & Bell Family | Portraits

What can I say about this family? They're about some of the funnest (is that a word?) and funniest people to be with. Logan is a friend of mine that I graduated high school with and a few weeks ago, I was able to photograph his family in their element. We had a blast just walking around their neighborhood, capturing them as they joked with one another and what not. Logan's two sisters, Sarah and Kaitlyn, had their boyfriends come along as well so it made everything twice as fun. Thanks to all of you for inviting me into your home and letting me photograph your family! It was so fun!

Marci & the Girls | Portraits

Who remembers Mandie?! Everyone should be raising their hands, because I've mentioned her plenty a-times in my blogs ;) Mandie is a wonderful friend through school as well as a crazy, talented photographer. I've had the privilege of having her as a second-shooter and in a few weeks, I'll be doing the same for her. Back in the Fall, she mentioned wanting some family portraits done and a few weeks ago, we finally made it happen.

I really had a great time photographing her mom and sisters. They're a fun, sassy bunch of ladies. They had these great polka-dotted dresses for the second half of our session and they looked b-e-a-utiful, don't you think? Mandie's oldest sister, Stephanie, is getting married in a few weeks so these girls will be in front of my camera again soon :)

Love love love from me!

Zelenak Siblings | Portraits

I've known Megan ever since like Kindergarten or something... anyway, she asked me I'd take some portraits of her and her siblings for their mom's upcoming 50th birthday. I also know her twin brothers, Kevin and Ryan, just from doing Cross Country (I know, crazy right?) freshman year of high school. The two of them graduated in 2006, two years before Megan and I. Her sister, Breanne, is an upcoming sophomore in high school. Anywayss, we just walked around and took some shots. Kevin wanted to do an imitation of the Beatles' Abbey Road photo. Haha, it looked pretty cool. Here are some previews:

My favorite shot!!

Jouanneteau Sisters | Portraits

Today I got the opportunity to shoot another portrait session of two sisters, Daphne and Charlotte. I first met Daphne when I went to see a show at Capital Playhouse through Bailey. You might recognize her from an earlier session I did last month (Krazy 8). She told me that she had really liked my photos and wanted some done. She is from France and they don't do senior portraits there and even though Daphne is only going to be a Junior this year, she still wanted some 'senior' portraits done. Daphne and her sister are dual citizens and live in France during the school year and come here to the States to participate in KAP, a program through Capital Playhouse. This last school year though, Daphne got the chance to go to school here in Olympia for the year.

Their parents dropped them off and we took a few shots with them before they left. These two are so photogenic! Seriously, don't you think they are gorgeous? AND, the two of them had the cutest outfits. Perfect. The weather didn't really cooperate with us, so we actually took a break in-between our session 'cause it was so hot and we were tired from walking around downtown. Bailey also came along just to spend some time with Daphne, since she's headed back to France this Thursday.

Anyway, I honestly love these photos because the sisters are SO pretty. It was also SO cool that the two of them broke out in French throughout our session. It's awesome that they're fluent in both languages. Charlotte, who just graduated high school this past year, will be majoring in Spanish... so she's going to be trilingual! How sweet is that! Thanks for the opportunity to photograph you two :D I hope you have a safe flight back!

PS: This is my 50th post! Yay :D

The three of them accidentally kind of matched!

I think Daphne could be a model. She's so cute.

The two of them had similar dresses but from different stores!

The Obama shirts... Awesome.

I always save my favorite for last...
