A Print Comparison - Seattle Portrait Photographer

I did the dreaded test prints. I went to the local walmart and got two 5x7 prints one with the 1-hour photo option and one with the instant print option, then I ordered the same photo in 5x7 through my pro lab.

See the difference? Clearly there is a significant one.

I spend about 3-4 hours editing your photos after a session and even longer after a newborn. I edit them to appear a certain way and have a certain look to them. These are not photos meant to be quickly printed out at a local drug store and put into a box and shoved away in the back of a closet. These images I have worked hard to create for you are for printing with care and showing off proudly to friends and family in frames and on the walls of your home.

I'm hoping that by showing you this you will think twice before taking that expensive digital package you purchased and going to walmart(and other like places) to have it printed. Why waste so much money to have your photos done, buy the digital package, and then end up with the results pictured above? It's not worth it. I always encourage clients to order through me but if you purchase the digital package and want to print yourself please be sure to use a reputable printing company. The two I like to suggest are mpix.com and unitprints.com these printers offer quality prints at consumer prices.

Hope this was helpful to some! Breaks my heart to see my photos look this way.

Chloe - Seattle Maternity Photographer

Congratulations to Chloe and Justin!!! I have known this lovely lady since we were in the 3rd grade, I liked her so much in 4th grade I switched school so we could hang out more.

She asked when I was pregnant and did my own maternity photos if when she got pregnant someday would I please do hers and of course I said yes! A few short months later she was announcing and I was totally stoked to take her photos! It was a really lovely evening at Magneson Park and we got some great shots.

Due in August can't wait to meet the little guy or little lady, it's a surprise!

My first twins! - Seattle Child Photographer

This Friday I got to shoot my first set of twins. Amelie and Poppy! They are turning this 1 this month so they were very active and mobile! I think as a child photographer it's a very big step to get to do your first set of twins. It was a great challenge and I loved working with them.

Now all I need to do is my first set of newborn twins and all my dreams will have came true!

Gianni 7 days old - Seattle Newborn Photographer

Just photographed 7 day old baby Gianni yesterday! He was  the first newborn to poop on my set up so he get an award there! But really he was very sweet and so teeny tiny, working with such small babies makes me miss my tiny boy!

This was also one of my first apartment shoots and I got to break out the lights which worked wonderfully! It was a great shoot full of new exciting things. I hope to have some more little boys in the future, they can look just as adorable as the little girls!

Also This month is my grand opening June special! If you book a regular full priced maternity shoot you will get the newborn shoot completely free of charge!

Also I am starting a new rewards program for clients! It's a nice way for you to earn two free 5x7 prints! For the duration of your client gallery being up(1 month) you can leave a nice review on my facebook page for others to read and you'll get to pick out one free 5x7 of your choice from your gallery. if you'd like one more you can simply share my business page on your own facebook wall for an addition free 5x7 from your shoot! It's really easy and helps us all out, 5x7's are also great gifts for the grandparents or to have in a nice little frame on your office desk!

June is looking to be a great month for business so let's get it going!

Sarah - Seattle Newborn Photographer

Meet Sarah!!! She is my first "older" baby I have worked with to try and get some newborn photos out of. She's a month old and very active! Very alert, looking out the window, and always wanting her bink!

But with some patients I managed to get some great shots and it was a very good learning experience with a tad bit older "newborns".

She also had a very adorable little sister Mackenzie who loved to give her kisses and smile.

Had a great time with this family and was very honored to get to photograph the wonderful little Sarah!!!
