Gretchen Fawn Photo - part of the Snoqualmie Moms Support Collective

A dear elementary school friend, Marquelle, called me up out of the blue the other day to ask us a big favor. Would we be able to squeeze in a photo shoot while her nephew was still here from out of town? And, her son had gotten hurt on the pavement the other day and required some stitches, so would we be able to retouch those out? I wasn't sure at first of the timing and if we would be able to make it work with all of our schedules, but I am so glad we did because the boys were so fun and cooperative and smiley that it made our job a total breeze. The light and set up was amazing and we got tons of fun images of all the boys together and separate. As a bonus, we got to catch up a little more and eat afterward at Sno Thai, the recently changed owners place by our house in Snoqualmie Ridge. It was great food and great fellowship!

We caught the light moments before it went behind the hills. Serafina is 15. We wanted to capture her love of horses, her beauty and her spark. I think we did! We had about 20 minutes to photograph the kids (her sisters were there too). When we walked in the pasture, the horses all walked right on over to us. We were unable to use our reflector, because it was spooking the horses. Well, except one who came over and sneezed on it. Gross! That same one just kept standing by Joe and looking and sniffing the reflector. Not what we thought would happen. I was wearing sandals and I was more worried I would get my feet stepped on. Becka was gracious to allow us to photograph in her fields and the results were well worth the effort. Serafina is a beautiful young lady and a pleasure to photograph! Enjoy, Gretchen
