Just finished a commercial project with a stunning model in downtown Bellevue. Loved working with the downtown city/urban elements at this building. Here are a few of my favorites from this shoot.

Environmental Portraits | Bellevue Business Photographer
January 26, 2012Happy 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!
Sweet Family in the studio! | Bellevue Family Photographer
December 10, 2011Ahhh, it’s that crazy busy time that I can barely breath some days – for which I’m very thankful for I must say! I want to thank my super sweet and patient client Amanda, whom I’m posting this sneak peek for. She’s been waiting for awhile now… knowing that I have been working on getting out cards for everyone who needs them. Almost all of which will be ready for pick up tomorrow or Sunday, whoooo!
It’s also nice to update my very neglected blog and facebook page with some fresh images. More to come soon…. I’m nearly done with editing holiday sessions and orders and am looking forward to spending some time with my family and enjoy the holidays. :) Hopefully more time to post a few of the recent sessions I’ve been busy with. Every one of my clients has been great this year!
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! :)
Portrait Photography at Bellevue Botanical Gardens
A was laid back and so fun to photograph!! We walked around downtown Kirkland, onto the dock and into the gorgeous garden I love so much. Really works well with senior portraits! Thanks A!
H.S. Senior Sessions | Eastlake High School Senior Portraits
October 7, 2011Had a few High School Senior sessions recently, we had great weather for these (yay!) and I really enjoyed working with both of these kids!
First a senior boy session at the studio. We did the senior “super” mini, so we took a few just outside my studio and headed inside for a few more. I love how my building has that industrial look to it, which lends itself well to senior portraits, especially boys. But there is some greenery around too… we just didn’t use it much.
Love the simple and modern look in this!
Fall is here, and the recent weather is lending to me getting used to the idea. :)
And so for what it’s worth, it’s time for a few things to mention. First, something I’m not ready to even TALK ABOUT being that it’s still September, LOL (except I did post one thing below, much shame, but I have to get us ready for this and I’d much rather see a blog post than Halloween candy in the supermarket during September) But one must plan ahead! It’s National Costume Swap Day! I have registered at www.NationalCostumeSwapDay.com – my swap to be held at the studio from 10:30 – 1:30pm on October 8th. It’s coming right up actually, so please come and join us and swap out last years costume for a “new” one this year. Everyone who participates in my swap AND the one at Orange Blossom Society in Redmond WA, will get a free portrait in his or her new costume! Yay! Last year was super fun, and I looooved taking the kids portraits in their costumes. They really enjoyed it. I’ll be sending out e-cards and a portrait of each child will be available free of charge. I’ll have some activities planned too!
Take a moment to RSVP by emailing Holli at holli@hollidunn.com – or on facebook, I have an invite going – https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=205283836202868 Costume drop off will be the week prior (Oct 1st-7th) to the event at Holli Dunn’s studio in Bellevue.
Studio Session with 3 stunning girls! | Bellevue Children and Family Photographer
September 20, 2011I 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!

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.
