{Candice Business Session} Seattle WA Business Portrait Photographer

Meet the fabulous and very fun Candice Caldwell of Brand Atelier, of Bellevue Washington. Candice specializes in building efficient brand strategies, relationship marketing plans, and new media strategies for start up and high growth companies.  I hired Candice to help me with my branding and in a few short hours she not only did that but also gave  me specific brand-centric strategies to grow my business.  She listens to your ideas and cheers you on, but she's not afraid to let you know if you are going in the wrong direction and she steers you back!    I was thrilled when she asked me to help her create amazing and fun images for her new company. Candice is also the Bellevue and Eastside Facilitator for Ladies Who Launch.   If you have a an exciting idea for a new business or just want to grow the business you are in now, I highly recommend the Incubator Workshop!  This program was a huge catalyst for change in my business and I still meet with the fabulous women from the incubator that I participated in over a year and a half ago!

{Chelsea Senior Portraits @ Kubota Garden} Seattle WA HS Senior Photographer

I remember Chelsea when she was just a little girl....about four.  Her Dad married Lisa, one of my best friends from High school. She is just as adorable and sweet as she was 14 years ago.   I've included a few of my favorite images from her senior photography session at Kubota Garden, Seattle.

{Ian Senior Session at Seattle Center} Seattle WA HS Senior Photographer

I photographed Ian and his friends at the very beginning of their senior year- they were so fun to work with!  My brother Ty, came along to film the photo session and put together the most amazing promotional video! I love Ty's style - he's classy and creative! Anyway - you can check out the video of their session here - or go right to my YouTube channel  "Aliensen". 

Here are Mom's favorite images from the day.....

{Lauren Senior Session} Seattle WA HS Senior Photographer

I met Lauren a few years ago - when my boys were on the Kentridge HS Golf Team.  She was (and is) an AMAZING golfer. We knew big things were ahead for her and sure enough, she is heading to Oregon State in the Fall with a golf scholarship! Way to go Lauren! 

Lauren chose to have her senior pictures taken at the beautiful grounds of Fairwood Golf & Country Club. 

This one is my favorite of the day - her eyes are gorgeous!

{Aaron Senior Session} Seattle WA HS Senior Photographer

My daughter Linda shared with one of her teachers that her Mom was a photographer. This teacher just happened to have a Senior in need of some new portraits, they wanted something different and gave me a call.  I was glad they did -we had a lot of fun.

This first one is for you Aaron - the captain of your ship....

We made a fabulous and fun custom grad/open house card too!

This one is for you Mom!

{Kayla Senior Session at GasWorks Park} Seattle WA HS Senior Photographer

I love photo sessions with Kayla - she was my "official" HS Senior Model for Kentridge High School and she did a fabulous job! Kayla is also is an excellent photographer with an artistic eye.  I am looking forward to seeing more of her work in the future!  All the best Kayla - and please stay in touch!

{Kelsey Senior Session at Kubota Garden} Seattle WA HS Senior Photographer

Kubota Garden is such a beautiful backdrop for portraits.  I have been there many, many times and I still find something new every single time I go.  Kelsey was fabulous to photograph and I was so impressed with all of her fabulous accessories - you go girl! :)  June and September are usually great months to visit Kubota Garden - I've noticed that this is when the garden seems to be in full bloom.  It's a good idea to book your sessions way in advance for these months.

{Robby & Heather Pre-Wedding Session} Seattle WA Wedding Photographer

So many wedding photographers talk about the "first look" of the wedding day. I think it is a great idea and a huge benefit to the photographer - but Heather and Robby  took the "First Look" to another level and decided to have their "First Look" four days before their wedding day. I think this is a fabulous idea and I highly recommend a pre-wedding photography session! When I talked with Heather about her vision for the photo session she expressed that she really wanted a beautiful park scene - Volunteer Park was the first park that came to my mind.  I love this park and have the best memories of bringing Ayden and Leo there when we lived on Capital Hill.  It was so fun to be back in this park with Robby and Heather and just like we hoped, it was a fabulous backdrop for their wedding images.  

{Alexis Senior Session} Seattle WA HS Senior Photographer

The most goregous weather of the week happened to arrive on the day that I had five photo sessions lined up.  Needless to say, I felt blessed and enjoyed every minute photographing my amazing clients. Here are a few of my favorites from my session at GasWorks Park, Seattle with Alexis.

We borrowed some bubbles from a family.  This is one the reasons I LOOOOOOVE outdoor and on location photography - you just never know what you are going to find - it is such a fun adventure!
