East of the Mountains, there was sun and no clouds! Bits of snow here and there, but a beautiful model and radiant light! We love to capture your son or daughter in a unique, natural setting! This rock was so big, we shot through the middle of it! It's that time of year again! I know it seems early, but the best time for Senior portraits is the spring or summer BEFORE your senior year begins! The year book photos are due in October in our area and it takes time to take the portraits and have our slideshow presentation. I know there is so much to think about Fall of Senior Year as well, so getting them done when the weather is nice and stress is low, is the PERFECT plan! We also have free wallets for everyone who either schedules their session in March/April or refers a friend! What could be better? You would want to choose us for your portraits if your son or daughter wants an outdoor, natural feel to their portraits, if they are either shy or outgoing, and if they wa...

We planned to meet Wes in Fall City at an old barn Joe had spotted last summer while driving around. This barn was up on blocks and looked like it would be soon torn down. It was a sunny, warm evening. We had about an hour of good sunlight left before the radiant sunshine went behind the hillside. We had a great time with Wes, laughing and walking around the property. I figured it wasn't his favorite thing to do, but he wanted to make his mom happy and I think he had a pretty good time in the end. At least I will flatter myself in thinking so;-) We got some amazing shots. Just as we were walking through the barn to go towards the trees, the sun shone under the roof and I said, "hold it right there, it's amazing and perfect light!" In fact, his Dad told me it looked like it would have been added with photoshop. Rest assured, it was real. Wes will even vouch for me on that one! Enjoy, Gretchen

I got an email from a mom asking about senior pictures a few days ago. How much and when those are the basic questions. Well, if you live here in Snoqualmie and it's raining, that is not the best day. But I like to start thinking about them the spring or summer before the senior year. You really want to have them in time for the yearbook picture submission which is in early fall. Please do begin thinking and budgeting now. You will have soooo sooo many things you are thinking about and doing at the beginning of senior year. Last year I was called on a Sunday morning, "Is there any way you can shoot some senior pictures today? Our deadline is Monday! We can't find a photographer. We had a friend of a friend cancel on us who was going to do us a favor..." Yikes. That is not how you want to get your senior pictures done. It would be much nicer to schedule in the spring or summer. Have a leisurely photo shoot where your kid looks amazing and then you get a week or two t...
