Every year I get a few requests to photograph families in the winter. I’m always a little weary as my experience with working with people in the cold often means running noses, cranky kids and bulky sweaters that are often unflattering. But I understand that around the holidays is often the only time extended families get together so I usually give in and say let’s go for it. I’m happy to say that this year my winter family sessions were great! Yes, it was cold and the kids were doing jumping jacks to stay warm, but everyone was game and no unruly sweaters too boot! The first family is below – on one of the coldest mornings of 2015!

The winter is always a busy time of year with holiday parties. It’s always fun to photograph these joyful events! This year I had the privilege to work with Coates Design and Holly Rohrbachler Events to capture there over the top Cirque Du Soleil themed holiday party!
Ellie had her senior photos photographed at her grandparents coastal home on Bainbridge Island, WA. We took her senior portraits at the beach there and also used the woods behind their Crystal Springs home as a backdrop. Ellie is charismatic and a joy to be around! She also brought the coolest prop with her, Taylor’s Swift’s black hat that she personally handed to Ellie at a concert. When Ellie had it on you can’t help but see a little resemblance to the pop star!
