Winter Mini Sessions, Mill Creek Christmas Minis

Monday, October 23, 2017

Mini sessions are such a fun way to update your family portraits! Winter Mini Sessions are BOOKING NOW, and will be held on November 19th in my gorgeous Mill Creek Studio.

We will have two different sets for minis this year. One side will have a swing, wrapped with greenery and red berry floral garlands. The swing side of the set will be ideal for kiddos, and beautiful individual images of each kid. We will be placing blocks under the swings for tiny clients, so it won’t swing out from under them, but the bigger kiddos will be able to swing away.

The other side of the studio will have a beautiful white queen sized bed nestled into the giant studio window. The white headboard wil be wrapped with beautiful white magnolia and greenery garlands. The entire family will be able to snuggle up on the bed. This set will look adorable with winter pjs, or dressed in your best, both will be adorable!

Sessions will be 15 minutes long, and include your choice of 3 digital files from your online gallery. You will also recieve THREE accordion mini albums, which make great gifts! The accordion mini albums have a soft leather cover, and the images will be selected by Melissa to best fit the sizes/layout of the album. Keep one for yourself, and gift the other two to grandparents! Mini sessions are $175, plus tax. Sign up for your mini session HERE These spots tend to fill SUPER fast, so snag your spot now.

Dreamy session, gorgeous gowns, beautiful princess!

Tuesday, June 13, 2017

Mama brought along some GORGEOUS gowns for this precious 3 year old, and now I want them both! The gowns are from Anna Truant and Dollcake, and simply stunning.

Little miss had a different idea for what she wanted to wear, and was definitely not pleased when mom had her put on her gowns..but she warmed up to them..eventually!

I just love Northcreek Park for outdoor sessions, there are so many different gorgeous spots! We started near the woods, and ended our session on the boardwalk. I can’t wait to share more, this little one has a HUGE gallery…some with big brother, and some with their puppy too!

Midsummer Night’s Dream Styled Photo Session, Mill Creek

Sunday, May 14, 2017

Many months ago, I had a wild idea to do a styled “Midsummer Night’s Dream” photo session with my kids. It was the dead of winter, which meant I had MONTHS to collect strange ideas.

In the months to follow, I made a Moss Chair HERE Ordered three pairs of elf ears, bought a wooden flute, and rounded up a pair of goat paints, and had a dress custom made by JH Gowns. You know, typical day in the life.

My friend Tami, of Lorene Photography brought over her girls and crafted up some gorgeous dresses and crowns for the ladies. The kids had a blast playing in the field, and I couldn’t stop giggling over all their adorable antics. Rex (our little Puck) ended up eating a dandelion..which is fitting.

Shot at golden hour in the field just outside my house in Mill Creek, I just love how this session turned out. My original inspiration came from an illustration THIS ONE and I think rex captured Puck’s spirit!

I’m already trying to come up with my next styled session idea! I just love getting creative, and creating magic with my kiddos.

DIY Moss Chair, woodland inspired photography prop tutorial.

Tuesday, April 18, 2017

Sometimes I get hairbrained ideas. Then I make messes. Sometimes, my ideas work. Usually they don’t. Meet my moss chair.

This one worked. And I love it. I plan to head out this week to photograph my own kiddos on the chair..in the woods. If we’re being totally honest, I plan to dress my 6 year old son up as Puck (Midsummer Nights Dream)…told you I had weird ideas.

Anyway, I’ll show you how I made mine, just in case you want to make a moss chair of your own! I did use these for my spring mini sessions this year..and the moss was MESSY in studio. I had a vaccum handy, and it all worked out..but, fair warning.

Materials:
Chair. Don’t worry about the color/condition of the fabric. Find a chair with a SHAPE you like, and legs you like (unless you want to cover those too). I found mine on craigslist for $10 because a cat had scratched up the fabric.

Moss. I bought preserved moss from amazon (I used one of these boxes and filled in any space with moss I collected myself). MOSS

Adhesive/Glue. I used locktite construction adhesive. You chould use LOTS of hot glue, or another brand. (here’s a link to the brand I used…but I bought mine for much cheaper at a hardware store ADHESIVE

Paint/Fabric Medium. If your chair is red (like mine), you might want to paint it green first. I didn’t want red peeking through the moss. I mixed come cheap green acrylic paint with some fabric medium. Worked like a charm.

All said and done, I spent about $90 (and 2 hours of my life) to make this little guy.

To start, I pulled off the seat cushion, painted the entire chair (and cushion) with green paint mixed with a fabric medium. I didn’t want the chair to be too stiff…although I don’t know if it would have mattered after layering on so much glue and moss.

After the paint had dried, I used a caulking gun to apply/smear adhesive on the chair. I worked in small sections and layed out chunks of moss that I planned on sticking to the char. This was fun, and didn’t take as long as you might think. The moss can be easily torn and or smooshed to fit into the spaces you need. I pushed the moss into the adhesive, and moved to the next area.

I worked around the chair, in small sections until the chair was covered. I left the space where the cushion goes empty, and covered only the TOP and front of the cushion. I could have just tossed the cushion and covered the entire chair…but I wanted the height of the cushion.

Any small gaps, holes, etc. I filled in with small bits of moss. I ended up going outside a collecting a bit more moss to add some variety to the color of the chair. I didn’t preserve the moss I found…so it may end up turning brown..but for now it looks great.

I’ll post photos of my chair in the woods if the rain ever stops, and I get a chance to photograph my kiddos this week!

Winter Mini Sessions, 2016. Mill creek photographer June Bug Photography.

Thursday, December 1, 2016

I had SO MUCH FUN with this year’s mini sessions! We had two very different set ups, which was perfect! We had a snowy, mountain top, tree filled set up (complete with snowballs!) and a very neutral couch set up as well.

My mini sessions always book before I actually go public with them, as I send out a newsletter to all my wonderful clients. This year, both my fall minis and winter minis booked solid before I had a chance to open them up to everyone else. I might need to add a few days of minis next year, and I had MANY people who weren’t able to snag a spot…and I hate turing people away!

My clients are seriously the best, and I had a total blast seeing everyone and how much your kiddos have grown!

Outdoor family photography, Mill Creek. Snohomish County family photographer June Bug Photography

Thursday, December 1, 2016

These two adorable kiddos are my neighbors, and their mama is one of my very best friends. We have learned that her kiddos are AMAZING for me…when mom isn’t around. So, I picked them up one day after school and whisked them away for a quick photoshoot at my favorite park. The sun was setting as we pulled into the parking lot…but we made the best of the little bit of light left for the day. These two are seriously little models, and are so so so good to me. We had so much fun, and even got dinner afterward.

Fall mileston session, 7 month old baby girl.

Sunday, October 23, 2016

This little lady totally rocked her session! I had so much fun with her, and she braved the chilly fall air..in nothing but a tutu! 🙂 She was a total trooper, and was all smiles and full of cuteness!

I just love sessions with babies who are sitting, but not yet walking/crawling! They are so easy, and such an adorable age! Mom, dad, baby and the family dog are all adorable, and I had so much fun working with them!

Don’t you just love the pumpkins? She thought they were AWESOME. Here are a few of my favorites from her session

Fall Family Mini Session Marathon!!

Sunday, October 23, 2016

In an effort to spend more time with my own family, I’ve decided to limit the number of weekend days I work…which is super difficult, because fall/winter is definitely BUSY SEASON for photographers! In order to fit in all of my wonderful clients, I ran a special family mini session day…and it was a total blast! I ended up photographing 11 different families, and it was so fun to see so many of my favorite families. I was definitely tired at the end of the day, but it was such a great day!!

Here are some of my favorites!
