Janey – Mukilteo

DianaJo — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 23:13:59 +0000

I had a great time out at Mukilteo last week working with Janey near the lighthouse. The “summer” weather, changed our plans slightly…the weather was a great deal cooler than we had originally anticipated, but when you’re working on location…that’s what you have to plan for and prepare for.

Be sure to take a look at the rest of the photos…

Choosing the Right Location

Choosing the right location for an outdoor photography session is so important. When photographing couples, children and families I want an environment that they can interact with and be themselves in. So when planning a session with my clients I ask them where their favorite spots are. I’m looking for places that have meaning to them or their families, something I find creates more memorable images.

This isn’t about getting the session done in 15 minutes, this is about making sure my clients get images they love, and the right location is a huge part of that. Taking a couple to the park where they spent part of their first date brings back all the memories and emotions from that first date, without the nervousness that went with it. My clients get to relax and reminisce while we work together to create special images for them.

Today, was one of those beautiful days in Seattle that makes living here such a joy. Hard to believe it’s February with the flowers blooming like April. I had a lovely time with Charles and Amanda at Gas Works Park, taking some photographs to celebrate their engagement

Kenzie on the Mukilteo Beach (Mukilteo, WA)

There are just some things that can’t be done indoors! The Lighting Essentials workshop hit the beach on an overcast, Seattle weekend with a handful of models in tow. The clouds had enough texture, that with some creative lighting techniques we were able to bring in the detail and create a nice mood.

Kenzie’s bright red jacket, created a great contrast against the gray sky. Her high fashion posing helped create this fun image.

The Pacific Northwest has some wacky weather, but if you’re brave enough you can get out and create some unique shots!

Jake – On Location in Mukilteo, Washington

DianaJo — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 06:20:28 +0000

Working on location is one of the joys of my work. I love going with clients out to sites that are special to them or unique sites to create images that just can’t be recreated in the studio. The Mukilteo Lighthouse is one of the most memorable spots for me as a child. I used to go there with my mom and brothers fairly regularly.

At the lighting workshop I attended we had the opportunity to brave the Pacific Northwest’s winter weather and create some unique images at the Mukilteo beach. Jake’s rugged good looks and rough jacket lent itself very well to the mariner theme.

I had the opportunity to attend a great workshop on photographic lighting last weekend in Seattle. Here is a shot of the lovely Isabella from the workshop. I take every opportunity I can to increase my skills to bring my clients the very best images I can.
