The first part of their engagement session has already debuted but due to some cranky weather on the day of their shoot, we completed a supplemental sunset beach session last night. Thankfully, mother nature decided to cooperate for us. I’m sure you will agree, it was worth the wait. Peek below!
Engagement sessions are a great opportunity for the bride and groom to connect with their photographer before the BIG day and all of it’s stress, anxiety and general madness. The soon-to-be bride and groom for this engagment session are Lisa and Brendan. They are totally fun. I asked them to jump, they jumped. I asked them to runway walk, they did. I don’t think there was much they weren’t game for. Besides the stinkin’ wind!
It was so.so.so windy. To the point where my eyes were watering and my fingers were freeeeeeeeeeeezing. Lisa and Brendan were champs though and we did half of their e-session. We will complete the other half of their session at the beach, probably a sunset session, sometime soon when Mother Nature is a little less testy. But for now, enjoy this sneak peek!
Well, if you are a sweet little punkin’ named Katie then I would suggest a rubber chicken! I took cue from the amazing Sandy Puc and brought along a plastic, yellow, bumpy chicken for Katie’s first birthday pictures and let me tell you, that chicken will never leave my prop bag.
Well… as long as I can pry it out of the hands of any kiddos within a 5 mile radius of where I’m shooting! They LOVE the chicken. Now, this is great for me! If tears start coming on or a meltdown seems imminent, I can count on that chicken to produce an instant smile. The only catch is getting the chicken away from them because I think about 99% of parents don’t want their lovely smiling angel posing with a semi-hideous, obnoxiously yellow, plastic chicken.
Katie was an absolute doll, with and without the chicken and brother Ben was a fabulous assistant for the day (check is in the mail, bud). Check out baby girl’s amazing blue-green eyes… and enjoy the sneak peek!
Meet Annamarie and Luke. You may recognize them from back in October when CYE Photography was running fall mini session sales. Anyway, they got ENGAGED over the holidays! Congratulations!
We three had such fun last weekend. We spent the early afternoon downtown in Seattle’s Pike Place Market and did some engagement pictures for these lovebirds. Let me tell you, these two were incredible sports! They were more than happy to meet my every wild request despite the incredibly public location and the breezy weather.
This is where I was considering mentioning the fact that Luke ended up having to wear one of Annamarie’s teeny t-shirts as an undershirt because he forgot his own but I don’t want to embarrass anyone… 
The future Mr. & Mrs. T, enjoy your sneak peek!
Thanks for the fun!
