The L Family | Olympia Family Portraits

I love meeting new friends!  Mr. & Mrs. L would be visiting family in the Olympia area during their kids' fall break and wanted some fall, Washington pictures for their visit.  Washington definitely delivered!  We had sun, rain, wind and colorful trees!  Only a few muddy knees and everyone stayed mostly clean.  Olympia isn't my usual stomping ground, so we picked our locations through aerial views on the maps.  I must say, Eastside Olympia is beautiful.  The parks we found, the lush grass and trees were perfect for the visual contrast we were creating.

So please welcome The L Family!

Everyone needs a picture with Dad!

 

And little brothers, do they add or distract?  Probably both. 

Little Miss L loved having her photo taken and was ready for anything I asked her to do.

 

 

At one point we had to run for cover from some sideways rain! 
Thank goodness for a beautiful city park!

 

 

Who would you rather meet in a park?  This handsome 4 year old (left) or a 4 year old being The Flash (right)?  I think either one would be fine with me.

 

 

Yes, we did manage to get all four together.  Even if the wind tried to take Mrs. L's hair a different direction and young Mr. L had another face in store for me.

Quick, cross the street and do something cute in the middle! 

And ending the hour with some sibling love...

Thank you for visiting with the L Family!  For more information on seasonal family portraits, please visit www.ndrobbs.com or leave a comment here.  Have a great day!

Shantel | Senior Class of 2014 | Graham Senior Portraits



 

I am so excited to finally share Shantel's senior pictures publicly!  Shantel requested senior portraits way back in August and was all set to do them a few weeks later in September.  But the threat of rain had us pretty nervous.  I can normally shoot portraits in light drizzle, but this was monsoon, rain an inch in an hour type of rain.  I'm so glad we were able to reschedule for the next sunbreak, because this was perfect weather for Shantel!

 This lovely Graham-Kapowsin senior just oozes sunshine anyway.  There was no way to have her portraits done in the rain.  Her dad accompanied and even assisted during our two hour session among my secret locations.

 If you know Shantel, she'll give you the story of one of our great locations and how we even got good lighting advice from a stranger!

 And if you know her, you know that this picture below is NOT her normal persona.  This girl can laugh like no other!  I don't think I've ever laughed this much or this hard with a client.

 

Graham is full of great locations for country girls, right Shantel?

Some new stores have moved into our area, which gives me the opportunity to find brick walls without leaving town, ha ha.  And do you love her shoes here??

 

 

 Thanks so much for visiting with Shantel's senior session and leaving her some encouraging words.  I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and her family over the last six weeks!
