Out and about looking for cool new props and backgrounds for the studio, we stumbled across this little gem. Fleur De Lis has fountains, statues and other really cool things made out of rock/cement. I was on a mission to find some studio LIONS and I was happy to have found them! (Watch for an upcoming “Name the LIONS” post) …

If you’re in Seattle and looking for some things similar to the photos below, make sure you check them out. They have great customer service, great prices – all that makes for a great shopping experience! Thanks Fleur De Lis! I’ll definitely be back!

Erin was such an awesome senior to photograph. She brought her mom and her boyfriend to be assistants. Well, I think she brought them for her, but they definitely did a great job at assisting, too. We braved the wind and came up with some great images of Erin. I just love all the color.

And, Erin was the first official session IN-STUDIO! And, she rocked it! (As you can see below) … Thanks Erin! Enjoy the photos everyone!!

Aiko was so much fun to photograph. She is a great photographer herself and seems to have photographed a lot of her highschool classmates. Her session took place on a bright sunny day and was up to try anything I suggested. I asked her if we could climb up a 14 foot ladder and get on top of a roof. She was game, but sadly, we could not find any access on the side of the building. We still continued shooting and got some great images. This girl is stylish, fun and her personality really shines! She dropped off some super sweet chairs she picked up on the side of the road at the studio today, so be looking out for those in upcoming images. For now, enjoy the photos!

I have been photographing this family every year since I moved to Washington in 2008. Eleanor is a resident at Hearthstone in Green Lake. Her family comes every Christmas and gets together for a nice family dinner.

This year, September 11, 2010, Eleanor turned 100 years old. It was awesome to see all the family that showed up because of her! She had a very special day that included amazing cupcakes and fun balloons that the little guy just loved.

Enjoy these images. See you all in December!
