Valerie, Class of 2012 Seattle Lutheran High School, Senior Portraits

Location: Downtown Seattle, Pioneer Square

So much fun photographing Valerie for her senior portraits session! One thing Val definitely has is ‘spunk’ and always makes for a great senior pictures session when we have some great attire to choose from, including an awesome striped shirt, scarf and hat that were my favorites. We made sure to capture a variety of images so it’s easy to know the best senior pictures in her session. Val is a referral from her Dad whom I photographed several months ago for his real estate company business and uses for marketing purposes.

Katie, Class of 2012 Redmond High School | Senior Pictures

Location: Marymoor Park, Redmond and Kirkland Waterfront

Another fun senior portrait session today as we explored Marymoor Park in Redmond and Kirkand for Katie’s Senior Portrait session. She brought several great senior pictures outfits and we had some great attire to choose from, including an awesome pink top with skinny jeans and a turquoise top with matching skirt that were fun to work with. We even headed over to the dog park at Marymoor park for one of her senior pictures outfits that reminded me of a session in Bellevue from last year.

Professional Corporate Headshots @ Tila Mortgage | Headshot Photographer

On Wednesday I received a call from Tila’s parent company Marketing Manager to see if I was available on Friday or the following Monday to get some new professional headshots for their professionals and luckily I had an open slot and we made it work! We’ve been doing business for over two years and have photographed about 35-40 of their associates at their corporate headquarters and other locations.

Evan @ Woodinville | Senior Portraits Session

by Julian Michael, Senior Portrait Photographer serving Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Kirkland, Everett and Surrounding Areas

Evan is the second of five siblings that I’ve had the opportunity to photograph for his senior pictures in Kirkland. Both he and his older brother (and their family) are very much into Soccer and it’s always fun to work with laid back high school seniors that are pretty excited for their session. We used the Juanita Beach and Towncenter area in North Kirkland for his session backgrounds – one of my favorite spots to photograph as their is such a variety all within about two to three blocks walking distance. it always helps when it’s August and about 80-degrees (as opposed to February and 38 when I also photographed someone there)!

A couple of my favorite samples – enjoy!

Nick’s Senior Portrait Session | Woodinville, Kirkland

Senior Portraits | August 2011

Another bright day in the world of senior pictures in beautiful downtown Kirkland! There are so many varieties of lighting when visiting any Seattle or Bellevue area city during the summer photography months, it’s always fun to explore! This week I had the opportunity to work with Nick, who brought his mom along as they are friends with another client of mine. We all enjoyed walking the streets of Kirkland for Nick’s senior portrait session and time flew by (as it always done), and viola, an hour and a half had expired already!

A couple portrait samples from his session:

Composition, lighting, style, wardrobe, symmetry, emotions, and of course some technical ability…these are all the things that go into every portrait session and every photo shoot with Julian. There is nothing more powerful than ‘real’ emotions, ‘real’ personalities, and ‘really’ knowing that photography is much more than just owning a camera, but knowing people and having experience with amazing teachers. My difference I extend to all my clients is about my overall finished product, but is really highlighted by my process working with any client from the first contact, through session and selection, to ordering and delivery, and following up to make sure everything worked out well and everyone was happy.

What a great day of action and even more fun was seeing everyone out in their golf best with lots of great energy all over the course. We had photographers stations around the course and at the 1st tee box ready to capture each foursome just before starting their annual round for this SMBA feature event.

Summer Family Portrait Specials on the Horizon

Family Portrait and Family Picture Photographer | Julian Michael

My oh my has this year flown by and we’re now into the summer family portraits timeframe! There are so many great locations in the greater Seattle, Bellevue, Woodinville, Lynnwood and Everett areas that I can pretty much just get a phone call about family pictures or childrens pictures and before I know it we’ve settled on a fun location for a great session.

Some of my favorite locations are Snoqualmie Valley, Alki Beach, Juanita Beach in Kirkland, and the beautiful countryside just behind Redmond Ridge, all producing fantastic family portrait sessions. Last summer I had the opportunity to take a drive into Snoqualmie with the family and produced some really funny pictures as you will see below.

– 25% off family portrait sessions for new customers
(must be on-location within 30-minutes of Woodinville/Bothell)

Professional Business Headshots | Annette

Business Headshots Photographer | Wardrobe Stylist Consultant | Annette Bond

“I’ve never been good with getting my picture taken,” said Annette before we started her business headshot session in Woodinville at my studio.

Rest assured I let her know that many Bellevue and Seattle business professionals come to me specifically because their last professional headshot studio session or headshots photographer could not capture their true personality, and thus they were left wondering if anyone could…until they come to see me!

We wound up with some great new professional headshots for Annette to use in all her marketing materials, her new website for her business, and for anything else to attract new clients in the greater Bellevue and Seattle areas.

“I would definitely refer you to anyone,” said Annette after her professional business headshots session. “This was relaxing, fun, and I enjoyed my experience with you.” I was all smiles after hearing this.

Bellevue Senior Portraits | Brian Class of 2011

Bellevue Senior Portrait Photographer

Class of 2011 | Bellevue High School | Brian

What a great time we had photographing Brian in downtown Bellevue for his senior portrait session that has been long overdue. We had about two hours to photograph Brian, similar to his brother’s senior pictures session in Bellevue two years ago. Utilizing his longboard and other skateboard, Brian’s senior pictures session wound up being pretty cool, especially trying to capture ‘motion’! Two years ago I worked with his brother Mateo, Bellevue High School Class of 2009 who insisted he have his senior pictures photographed on the train tracks that are above I-90, which wound up being a super cool session with some amazing colors to photograph
