evidence of life photography

“It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines." - L.M. Montgomery  For us, the transmission gave up the ghost. Hubby changed careers. What was that bill I forgot to pay? Comcast? Doh! (Sorry, Hun, I guess that means no Sons of Anarchy for you tonight.)  So now you know a little about how our November has been. How 'bout yours? Did you put off scheduling your annual photos for holiday cards and gifts until the last minute?  Yeah… us, too.  And if you’re like us, you may be fretting over gift-giving and penny-pinching, as well. Ugh. Sometimes life gets in the way of…. well.... life!  Not everybody can afford the full custom photography experience every year and so we offer mini sessions every now and again for a little portrait or family photo update that’s easier on the budget. So in the spirit of giving, we are holding our first ever Holiday-themed Mini Sessions this Blac...

Happy Summer Solstice!  I hope you have great plans for the longest day of 2014. Like many proud Seattle-ites, we’ll be letting our hair down at the Center of the Universe !  I can’t think of a better way to kick off the season of bonfires, festivals, beaches, and camping.  To celebrate the long days of the season, we are offering a limited number of “Summer Nights” mini sessions at $99 each during the month of August. Each mini session will take place during “golden hour” that last hour of the evening before sunset when Mother Nature graces us with the most stunningly beautiful light for photography. Summer Nights Mini Sessions 30 minute golden hour session (scheduled during the hour before sunset) Limited to the month of August 2014 On location in a Seattle park or beach 10 digital images A private online gallery to share and order prints $99 Mini sessions can be an affordable alternative to our full session experience but cannot accommodate...

 Springtime, the only pretty ring time, birds sing-a-ding-a-ding-a-ding-ding... sweet lovers love the spring! If you're like me, those lyrics conjure up pictures of Willy Wonka singing while pedaling the bicycle contraption in his inventing room rather than green grass and budding flowers, nonetheless, it is officially spring! And as all good Seattle-ites know, that means finding the delicate balance of rainshine and sunshowers! So let's break out our rainboots and find those lost sunglasses to celebrate! Our clients are what makes our job completely amazing. Getting to know each one of you and then telling your story through beautiful images is so rewarding. We truly treasure the time we spend with you before, during, and after our photo session, and consider many of you good friends long after the shutter snaps. We love every minute of what we do, and it’s because you, our clients, are such amazing people to work with. Thank you for continuing to be completely awesom...

I like to joke that if you flip through the many, many photo albums of our childhood, you’d have a movie of our lives. Our mother captured every lovely memory of us, yet there are only a handful of photos of her among what must be thousands of Rachael and I.  We first got the idea to do our next round of mini sessions as a day of “Mommy and Me” – a time for moms like ours to get out from behind the camera and take photos with their wee ones. While I still love that idea, it kind of turned into something bigger. It’s not just moms who hide from cameras, sometimes it’s dads, partners, spouses, teenagers, grandparents, furbabies... okay, okay, I admit it- me.  So we decided to have a day of what we’re calling "The Nostalgia Sessions".  Shorter than our traditional portrait sessions, each nostalgia session will last 30 minutes in our top-secret, vintage-themed location. You will receive 15 digital images and an 8x10 lustre fine art print with the op...
