Join us for Teddy Bear Mini Sessions, March 11th and 13th
February 11, 2012Come out and help us raise some money for Loving Hugs, Inc with special edition mini sessions in the studio loft, located in Bellevue. Up to two kids, 20 minutes for each session. Additional children are 10.00 each. My kids love their stuffed animals – love what they are doing to help the children around the world. (bio posted below). Money from the session fee will be donated to the organization. Session fee includes a 5×7 print and 10% off your order too! Special packages will be available.
Who is Loving Hugs?
We collect your donations of stuffed animals (new or very ‘gently used’)- we call them “hugs”, to send to children in war zones, orphanages, refugee and IDP (internally displaced persons) camps, and medical/hospital facilities around the world. We also send your donations of stuffed animals for emergencies from natural disasters around the world, such as the 2009 flood in Manila, Philippines, and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, to bring some comfort and hope to those children.
Contact me to arrange your time! Hope to see you!
Happy New Year! A year in review….
January 10, 2012Wow, I can’t believe all the beautiful families and children I see here. 2011 has been a great year for Holli Dunn Photography! Celebrated a year in the Bellevue studio, expanded it by double towards the end of 2011 and met many new wonderful people which makes my job very rewarding! I also took some time to work on personal goals which I’m very proud of too. Here’s to another great year! See you all soon!
Happy Holidays!!
December 24, 2011Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Mini Sessions in the Garden – A sneak peek
October 19, 2011What an amazingly gorgeous day we had for the first round of outdoor mini sessions offered this fall! We met at Bellevue Botanical Gardens for these and I was very pleased with the amount of color, lots and lots of flowers still in bloom and a peak of fall color just coming out. Now that fall color is pretty much in full swing, round 2 should be just as nice! Fingers crossed for good weather. I always get a little nervous about that.
So here is a peek at some of images we created that day! What stunning families and children! :)

10 Simple Steps for Making your Halloween EEK-O-FRIENDLY!
September 17, 2011Kermit was wrong. It is easy being green [on Halloween]!
Just make choices that are people-healthy, animal-friendly and Earth-conscious.
We‘ll show you how with these 10 simple steps:
- Plan ahead to avoid last-minute shopping which often limits your choices.
- When it comes to costumes and décor—reuse, borrow, swap, purchase used or do-it-yourself.
- Treat bags can be anything! For extra fun, match the bag to the costume using something you already own. Here are some ideas: purses, flower pots (cover the hole), cloth sacks, backpacks, lunchboxes.
- Choose healthier treats. Take baby steps with organic candy and honey sticks, two child-favored choices. (Honey is not for children under two years of two).
- Choose fun treasures instead of conventional sweets. Think of the treasures your child collects in her pockets—pretty rocks, coins, etc.
- If you‘re giving a party, avoid disposables including napkins, plates, cups, tablecloths and other décor.
- Walk from house to house instead of driving.
- Compost pumpkins and any other food, including leftover candy.
- Collect candy wrappers and help your kids turn them into gift items like purses, bracelets and picture frames. Find directions on the internet.
- Avoid purchasing any treats made with palm oil.
