First Birthday Photo Session. June Bug Photography, Snohomish Family Photography.

Monday, October 6, 2014

I had a fun (and busy!) Saturday session. Brothers came to celebrate little bro’s 1st Birthday. I have had A LOT of first birthday sessions lately, it is such a fun age.

The boys were good sports (including dad) despite the fact that taking pictures wasn’t their top choice for a Saturday. I love the energy that these guys have, and it was so fun to see there little personalities emerge in such a short time with them. Mom is gorgeous, and had a ton of really great ideas for the session.

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

One Year Session! Family photography, June Bug Photography.

Friday, October 3, 2014

My morning started off rough today. My husband has been out of town for a week, and my son decided that he wanted NOTHING to do with preschool this morning. I *finally* convinced him to stay, but only after he darted into the parking lot and was nearly hit by a car. Needless to say, I was in tears by 9:30.

Then, I met this little gem, and my day was instantly better! This sweetie is ONE, and she is just so sweet. She took a little bit before feeling comfortable letting go of mom, but we embraced it. She found some pearls, and her day was made. We even had time to fit in a few pictures with the family dog, Lucy. Mom, baby, and pup were all so much fun.

Newborn Photo Sessions! June Bug photography, Snohomish.

Wednesday, October 1, 2014

I love love love getting to snuggle newborns on a regular basis. My job is awesome. 🙂 I had TWO newborn sessions this past Sunday.

My first session was with a little girl who is *almost* 2 weeks old. She is sooo tiny, under 7 lbs and so sweet, relaxed and chill. Big brother got to join us for a few photos, and was REALLY interested in sister’s headband. I caught a few candids of him *almost* snapping it in her face. Luckily mom & dad were an arms length away and saved the day. Big bro had the best smile. Mom & Dad clearly have this whole parenthood thing down, as they didn’t break a sweat and were super calm and relaxed the whole time. These guys made my job EASY!!

My second session was with a brand new baby, only two days old! Mom and dad were amazingly chill, especially considering they were only on day two of being new parents!! I could tell that mom was still hurting, but she was such a trooper. It was so much fun to see how smitten these two are with their new little guy. Little Mr. had NO interest in being posed, and just wanted to be snuggly with mama…so that’s what we did (after getting a few great swaddle shots!)

Here are someof my favorites from the weekend:

Senior Photos: It’s that time of year! Senior portrait session in Bothell.

Friday, August 22, 2014

These few weeks before schedules are packed with school engagements are the perfect time to get your senior sessions done! The light is beyond beautiful, and the weather is still warm.

I totally lucked out with my senior session last night, as Emma was crazy photogenic and beautiful. She was so fun to work with, and was up for anything (I made her hop up on the rail of a bridge, the rail of a building, sit in duck poop and get her hands permanently covered in superfine glitter….sorry Emma!) Mom joined us, and I put her to work as our “reflector-positioner”.

It made me smile to see Emma and her mom laugh and have fun together. I hope that my relationship with my daughter (now 5 years old) is as strong and loving when she is a senior! This mom is doing it right!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session. I was SO hard to choose. Emma looks sunning in EVERY. SINGLE. FRAME. No joke.

Maternity Shoot, Snohomish Photographer June Bug Photography

Monday, July 28, 2014

Toni (mama to be) was such a dream to work with! She was just radiant, super relaxed, and easygoing. Dad was not as thrilled to be a participant in the photo shoot, but he sucked it up and rocked it. These guys are good friends, and I am just so excited to meet their little one (Due in September).

Aren’t they just beyond adorable?! We had planned to meet at Marymoor park, but a last minute change of plans meant that we met at our Snohomish studio instead. We shot the outdoor images in our field, and they turned out awesome (although, I am bummed that they aren’t Marymoor!)

Cake Smash! Snohomish Photography, June Bug photography

Monday, July 28, 2014

I got to work with this little cutie AGAIN for his first birthday cake smash! It was his first encounter with cake, and he wasn’t quite sure what to think!

I have never met a 1 year old who is so quick and nimble! We had to think fast to keep his frosting toes from running onto the carpet in the studio. I had so much fun working with this little Birthday Boy.

Outdoor Movie night: DIY screen

Tuesday, July 22, 2014

We hosted our first ever outdoor movie night, and it was a smashing success…if you don’t count the hoards of mosquitos! Luckily we were prepared for our needle-nosed friends, and had plenty of bug spray on hand.

We made our movie screen for under $40, and it was SUPER easy.

You will need the following:

Materials:

4 of 1x3x8 Spruce/Pine Furring strips ($2/each)

4 of THESE brackets, ($4.50 for a 4 pack)

1 of 108″x72″ “frosted” shower curtain. (For a rear projection screen, you will need a frosted shower curtain. For front projection, use a WHITE shower curtain.) ($17/each. You can find these MUCH cheaper at the dollar store, but not in the larger size. You can always adjust your screen size a bit to save some $$)

2 eye bolts ($.88/each)

4 tent stakes ($5 if you don’t have them squirreled around in your garage somewhere)

Black Duct Tape (it doesn’t actually need to be black…I just like the look better in black). ($3)

Tools:

Measuring Tape

Drill

Staple gun with staples

We laid the boards out on the ground, and measured a 60×96″ rectangle in the center. The would be our screen space/size. We were feeling lazy, and didn’t want to make any cuts to the wood. Bonus.

Next, we placed a bracket in each of the 4 inside corners. and attached using the screws that came with the brackets. We decided to reinforce the corners by screwing a block of scrap wood to the back of the frame at the corners. This helped to keep the frame square. Sorry, this part happened so fast, I forgot to snap a pic. Here is a super technical drawing (the blue things in the corners are the brackets. obvs.)

Screw the eyebolts in along the top, side edges (see photo). This will be where your ropes attach and hold it all up.

Now use the duct tape to loosely attach the shower curtain at each corner. Don’t pull tight, but lay it flat over the frame. Trim off excess shower curtain.

Starting on a long edge, reinforce the shower curtain along the edges with duct tape. This layer will keep the shower curtain from ripping when we add staples.

Once the edges are reinforced with duct tape, you can staple the curtain in place. The trick is to start in the middle of any side. Place one staple, and move to the middle of another side. Pull the curtain tight, and pin the curtain down with a staple. Keep moving around the frame, working out from the middle of each side, and pulling taught. Soon you will have a million staples, all the way up the corners of the frame. Your curtain should be nice and tight. It will likely have some wrinkles from folding, but we didn’t notice these AT ALL when it is in use.

After all the staples are in place, use the duct tape to cover the staples. This will give your screen a nice, clean look.

To set up your screen, have an assistant hold the screen up while you stake it down by inserting a rope into the eye bolts, and tying the rope to the stakes. (See photo). Those black rectangles at the legs of the screen are the speakers we used.

We set up our projector about 12′ behind our screen, and it worked great! We leaned the screen up against our shed to store it until our next movie!

Prop Junkie?

Tuesday, May 13, 2014

We recently moved, and I FINALLY have the space for an amazing studio! I am rapidly filling my shelves with some adorable props, chairs, backgrounds, and more. I figured it might be helpful to show clients what I have to offer BEFORE they show up for a session. Here are are few of my favorites (I just realized that I forgot to take some pics of my hat collection. So there’s that, too.)

I am just so in love with all of these tiny chairs. I *just* found the gray one while antique shopping, and it is my new favorite!

Fluffy bean bag chairs, and a HUGE baby poser. Great for all ages!

“Jelly” the horse, and a bike made by my father-in-law (and used my my husband MANY years ago!)

Our adorable “newborn nest”.

I made this moon while everyone else in Seattle was watching the Superbowl this year. I LOVE it. It has a white side, and a yellow side, and is perfect for newborns through preschool aged kids.

I am in love with these beds. I made these, and 5 more for all my kids, nieces, and nephews this xmas!

More traditional teen, adult, older kid seating.

So. Many. Bows.

Wraps in all colors, textures, etc. We use these as wraps, blankets, basket filler, back drops…

The perfect chair. This chair is amazing. Just the right size for a cozy shot of a family, AND perfect for littles. Looks AMAZING outside and inside!

Owls. Babies. ‘Nuff said.

I made this ruffle bum the other night, and when I finished, I showed it to my husband and declared it so adorable it *almost* made me want to have another baby to put it on. 😉

Immaculate Lynnwood Home

Friday, May 2, 2014

I had the opportunity to photograph an amazing home on Thursday, AND I found out that the sellers are the family who purchased our home just a few weeks ago. I know in some states it is customary to MEET the people you are selling to, but it is not the case here in Washington. I am so happy I had the chance to meet them!

This. House. Is. Gorgeous. Seriously. The details are simply amazing. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath with beautiful updates and details throughout. Here are some of my favorite photos:
