Sister Portraits, A Client Testimonial

Michelle Moore — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:25:44 +0000

Just this past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing three sisters on a sunny Saturday afternoon! This family has FIVE gorgeous daughters, all of whom we have now worked with! We first met Joy last year for her senior portraits, and then later on, Erica for her model portfolio. Their dad is a dentist and the family wanted portraits of the remaining three girls in order to have a photo of each daughter to be used on his business website (to show off their beautiful smiles of course!).

I wanted to share what their mother wrote to me yesterday after the shoot. Her words really touched me, and highlight in specific why I absolutely love my job. Her message made my day, and I’m really excited she allowed me to post here on the blog (along with images of ALL her daughters together!) Thank you Teresa and all the girls for choosing me to be your photographer!! It’s really been a pleasure to meet you all!

“…I wanted to share with you what happened on Saturday with the girls. Sonja was looking forward to getting her pictures taken, but Natalie and April really didn’t want to– I was pretty much making them do it for me, for the website. Anyway, while you were taking Sonja’s pictures and Natalie and me and April were waiting in the car, Natalie says, “Mama, I don’t feel good, and I have a really bad canker sore and I really don’t want to get my picture taken.” And then April said, “I don’t want to either. Don’t make me!” So anyway, Sonja comes back to the car and says, “That was fun!!!” So I thought, well at least Sonja is OK with it. Then Natalie goes out there with you and April is kind of moping in the back seat, and Natalie comes back in the car and says, “That was fun!!!” So I thought, well at least Natalie and Sonja enjoyed it. So then April goes out there with you, and the three of us waiting in the car are talking about how April is probably miserable right now, but when she comes back she gets in the car and says, “That was fun!!!” I was so pleased!

I asked Erica what it is about getting pictures taken by you and she says you do make it fun and really relaxing. You have a really good personality for it, as well, of course as great talent and skill. I’m so glad we have been able to hire you for pictures. There are so many photographers out there, but you are such a good fit for us….” Teresa – Mom

Seattle Portrait Photography, Trevor & Olivia Class of 2010

Michelle Moore — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:00:20 +0000

Trevor and Olivia are TWINS! This is the FIFTH set of twins I worked with in 2009. Pretty awesome! I’m breaking my own blog protocol by sharing these two sessions together, but I really feel that it tells their story the best when all the images from the day are shown in one HUGE post. Trevor & Olivia are totally awesome! We had fun doing their individual sessions, but since they overlapped we were able to snag a bunch of them together too :) It was a windy, chilly day, but they were troopers! I think the hot cocoa we enjoyed together at the end helped warm them up a little?!

Enjoy our BIGGEST Senior Portrait post EVER!!

So we’ve been live with our new blog for 2 FULL WEEKS now! Hooray!! We’ve been blogging every day (just about) and am curious to hear any thoughts about the new format.

Seattle Senior Portraits, Shelby Class of 2010

Michelle Moore — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:00:45 +0000

First Senior Session up on the new blog! We did Shelby’s session last fall, on a gorgeous sunny day. She took me to a really fabulous park that she loves, and it was amazing all the colors and textures we found as backdrops to the photos. Shelby has the CUTEST hair cut, smile, clothes, and it was a blast meeting her and hanging out with such a bright, bubbly personality. I hope you enjoy her images, especially since the new blog rocks them out bigger & bolder then ever before!!
