What 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!  :)

Portrait Photography at Bellevue Botanical Gardens

 

I met the mom of these stunning girls about 7 or 8 years ago, when we first moved here.  Our kids were in playgroup together and it’s been so long since we caught up now that our daughters are in school and so busy.  WOW. I’m so stunned by how beautiful they have become and so big too!   I loved seeing you again, K!  Thanks for bringing them in for a portrait session!

 

I loved seeing you again, K!  Thanks for bringing them in for a portrait session at the studio!

We had a gooooorgeous day, which is a rare one this spring and early summer.   When we showed up at Bellevue Botanical Gardens, it was like the paparazzi were out, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many photographers in one place.  But luckily most had their sites on the flowers.  But I was sure there were a few that would have preferred to follow us around and get some of these cuties!  I was the lucky one!  :)

check out how freaking adorable Miss R is, AKA Daphne from scooby doo.  She got to wear this cute little outfit at her birthday party!

I recently hosted a fun ladies night out at my studio that included headshots.  Everyone needs a headshot at one point or another, and it’s much easier to be prepared to have one to send out.   (can you tell how often I get calls for “emergency” headshots needed asap?  LOL).

{And for a good cause too}

We raised $500.00 for the  Noel House Programs of Seattle.  WHOOHOO!   In 2009, they helped almost 1500 women with their services.   If you are looking for volunteer work, take a look at their page here:  http://www.ccsww.org/site/PageServer?pagename=volunteer_postings  There are many opportunities to give to our community here and make an impact on someones life.

And what a fun night it was!   The best part was that I got to catch up with everyone one-on-one while I took their headshot.  :)       Thank you all for coming out to my studio for a fun night!

 

6 months! What a great age to photograph!   All he needs was a round of Wheel’s on the Bus and his face brightened right up!

 

I LOVE spring.   I love everything about it except the allergies.  But those I can deal with.  I enjoy all the new fresh color that pops up, sometimes in unexpected places.  Like this place I discovered  and had to take my kids there and take photos.  It’s just a little alley way and an undeveloped field. Lot’s of blooming dandelions, a few grape hyacinths and a large blooming tree.   Thank goodness my kids were able to cooperate as it’s usually quite a challenge for me to be behind the lens with them in front of it.  But thankfully a bit of bribery went a long way.  That, and my youngest was completely excited that I let her pick all the dandelions she wanted.

 

So, a little share of my own kids.  *heart*

 

And I thought this was a little funny snapshot of what my mom’s a photographer syndrome looks like!  ;)

I feel like I’ve been so busy lately, too busy to keep my blog up to date.  It’s time to start posting some recent work!   I’ll start with a sneak peek of Miss H!  Always such a joy to photograph this family!  Love that she brings her Grandman and Tutu (grandparents) along with her too!  :)  

Valentines day is quickly approaching and after working with this sweet family I can see just how much love this family has for each other…… all the way to the moon and back!  (and more, of course!)

Little {J} and {M} laughed together and had a good time during the session!  Isn’t this sooo sweet?

Thank you Julie and Aaron!  It was fun seeing you again!  :)  ~Holli

I have photographed a bunch of really adorable little ones this fall!  They have such amazing little personalities and I enjoy every minute with them and their families!!  A little sneak peek while I work on getting the November sessions completed!

I had a lovely time photographing {A} at the Sammamish Commons park!   It turned out to be a really neat location and a gorgeous (but chilly!) day!
