Four Legged Friends, June Bug Photography

November 19, 2014

I met this adorable family at Tambark Creek Park. We were hoping that we would get a chance to get some candid shots at the dog park, but unfortunately…the fence was too low (these guys are jumpers!). Instead, we explored the park…with leashes attached. Both of the beautiful pups are rescues, and believe it or not, they are not related. I had fun exploring the park with Bella & Mosley with their human friend, who had trained these guys so well. Another fantastic family!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Family Session In (and around) the Studio

November 19, 2014

This family of 4 just might be the most relaxed family I have worked with to date! I discovered during the session that mom is a teacher at my daughter’s school…and now I am HOPING that Riley gets her for a teacher next year! She was so calm & patient with the kids during the session, skills any teacher of Riley’s definitely needs. Dad was also super chill, and I didn’t catch him looking bored/annoyed the ENTIRE session (super impressive for a dad..at a photoshoot…on a Saturday!)

Big sister had fun exploring the field outside the studio, and was especially impressed with the frost on the grass & trees. My favorite picture from the session is of big sister grinning while riding on dad’s shoulders.

Little sister was so cute, sweet, and didn’t fuss the entire session. Such a fantastic family to work with!! Here are some of my favorites from the session:

Baby’s First Year: 10 Months, photo session with June Bug Photography

November 14, 2014

This little darling may look familiar. She has been in studio before, and always charms me senseless. She is so adorable, and it has been so fun to see her grow! She is sitting, standing (a little), and crawling around like crazy. We had to put her in a box to keep her in the studio!

Family Photography Session At Country Village

November 14, 2014

This little nugget was such a trooper! First, I have to admit that I think I might have magical powers over the weather. I have not yet had to reschedule an outdoor session due to weather, and the clouds seem to part moments before I am scheduled to shoot. Awesome (also, I am knocking on wood right now).

Ok, so we met at country village, and it was raining up to just moments before out session. We walked around the Village, finding tons of great spots to stop and get photos. Some of my favorite images are of mom & dad playing with baby on the “stage”. So cute. This little guy was a total angel. No fussing. The entire time. No joke.

Mini Sessions to the EXTREME! Bothell Landing Mini Sessions, by june bug photography.

November 14, 2014

I booked ONE mini session for two weeks ago. I though to myself…”self, if you are going to be at Bothell Landing anyway…you should just put the word out and book a few more session…” Two days later, I had 5 sessions booked. For one day. It was so fun, but SO EXHAUSTING.

There are some really great things about mini sessions, like:

-They are short, and better suited for short attention spans (read: dads, and toddlers)

-They are less expensive (which is AWESOME, obviously)

-The are a great way to see if you like a photographer’s style without investing a ton of $ and time.

These are all the reasons I like to do mini sessions, and will continue to do them. I did, however, realize that 30 minutes is not enough time to get to know a family. Getting to meet new families is one of my favorite parts about my job, and 30 minutes just flies by. I didn’t feel like I got to know some of the families I met on Saturday as well as I would have liked to…but hopefully, I will get to work with them again, and get to know them even better!

I really lucked out with ALL of my families from this round of mini sessions. All were super sweet, easy going, and gorgeous!

Here are a few of my favorites from my extreme mini-session marathon!

Bothell Landing + Studio Family Session

November 14, 2014

I met this adorable family a few weekends ago, and we planned on doing a family session at Bothell Landing. Their little guy was suuuuper sleepy, and rallied for as long as he could…but finally zonked about in the middle of the session. We snapped a few sleepy baby pictures…and then changed up our plan (after all, baby is ALWAYS in charge!!

Baby got some rest, and mom brought him back to my studio for some happy AWAKE baby shots. I am so glad mom & dad were so chill about the change of plans…because we got some fantastic pictures of the little guy in the studio.

Bothell Landing Family Session

November 14, 2014

Bothell Landing is an amazing spot for family photos. There are few other outdoor locations with so many beautiful backdrops! I met this family a few weekends ago for a mini-session, and they were so much fun. Their little guy was ready to rock as soon as we got there, and we got some great photos. He got a bit squirrel-y for our last shot, and I may or may not have had to do a bit of head swapping in photoshop for the final shot (*hint…i did. Despite sounding awful with a cold, dad rallied, and mom was awesome.

First Birthday Party + photobooth Family photography June Bug Photography Snohomish

November 14, 2014

I worked with this family for an awesome in studio session about a month ago, and was THRILLED when mom asked me to be the photographer at her son’s 1st Birthday party. It was an AMAZING party, complete with a custom cake, a flower arrangement in the shape of a whale, an incredible face painter, and a photobooth!

Mom & Dad did an amazing job, and the party was a smashing success.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day!

Pumpkin Carving Party, Photobooth by June Bug photography.

October 28, 2014

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I have, what I like to call, “Good Neighbor Luck”. Not even joking. We have been blessed with fantastic neighbors both in our “old” house, and in our new neighborhood. I’m talking, kids the same age, who get along AND a mom and dad that I would be BFFs with even if we didn’t live 10 feet from each other. Anyway, enough sappy stuff. But for reals. My neighbors are the best.

Our new neighbors, Erin and Quinn are insanely awesome. Erin and I have become fast friends, despite the fact that we are complete opposites in many ways. For example, Erin knows when her Parent-Teacher Conference is. I did not, and I nearly missed it. Another example is Erin’s parties. You guys, she is insane. She has a special plate for every occasion, and decorates her home so beautifully for every event/holiday. She throws an awesome party. Sunday, Erin & Quinn hosted a pumpkin carving party, and it was a total blast. I set up a little photo booth out back, and we got some amazing pictures. Here are a few of my favorites:

Fall Fun

October 28, 2014

I had so much fun working with this family this past Sunday! Mom & I spoke back and forth before the session, and had a plan for some AWESOME shots. Their little guy is 6 months old, and a total gem. He was SUCH a great sport, even when we put him inside a pumpkin. We spend some time in studio, and I broke out my white paper background. I just LOVE how these studio shots turned out. After the studio, we headed off to Canyon Park to get some family shots with the beautiful fall leaves as a backdrop. Dad was a pro at keeping baby happy, and getting some great smiles. Big sister looks so adorable in her Elsa costume, doesn’t she!? We ended up with so many fantastic shots, too many to post…but here are a few of my favorites:
