I LOVE the Bellevue Botanical Garden. The variation in backdrops is truly stunning — from the alpine rock garden on one end, to the Japanese garden on the other, and so many varieties of trees and flowers in between. Benches, stairs, pathways, and trails — this place really has it all.

It’s bittersweet to come to the last of my California seniors! I had such a great time with these girls last month as part of Gina Petersen Photography’s senior rep shoot.

Our little Grecian goddess! Miss R and I were paired together to kick off Gina Petersen Photography’s fabulous senior day.

Miss G is the third in the series of fabulous seniors I photographed alongside Gina Petersen Photography in Petaluma, California. I loved the carefree, impeccable style of her outfits, with most of the pieces pulled from her own closet. This girl has style, not to mention a sweet personality!

My weekend with Gina Petersen Photography was filled with so many wonderful experiences. Among them was my time with Miss S, one of Gina’s six lovely high school seniors. As you can tell from her photos, Miss S is just the sweetest girl. She is quick to smile, and her expression travels all the way up to those big blue eyes.
Read moreMISS K SENIOR PORTRAITS
I was so fortunate to spend last weekend with Gina Petersen Photography in Petaluma, California. I met Gina at a photography workshop in Seattle last year, and loved her immediately! Maybe it was her boundless energy or our shared association with the legal field, but we had a great connection. She was kind enough to let me shadow her for a weekend full of photo shoots. On Saturday, we spent the day shooting SIX senior girls! These girls were so beautiful, and such fun to be around. Take Miss K below — she was so comfortable in front of the camera, and her spirit just shines through.

My good friend Kellie, of Kellie Pecoraro Photography, is eagerly awaiting the arrival of baby #2. As a fellow photographer, she knew this was the perfect opportunity to do something creative.

We first met Mrs. B during the B Family Photos. After our family photo session, Mrs. B and I snuck away for some special solo portraits. As before, Mrs. B was not afraid of a little rain. She bought a brand new, bright red umbrella for our session, and had some great ideas for prop photos.

What a fun time I had with the B Family on a rainy day in December! Mrs. B wanted to get some photos in before the holidays, and she wasn’t phased by the rain. We captured both classic and out-of-the-way Market locations, while sneaking in to some warm nooks and crannies to recharge.
