Engaged. Happy. Lovely. Check out these two, Jennifer and Byung, with a small cameo from Rocco, your friendly neighborhood chihuahua.

Aaaaand we’re back with Cori and Matt, except this time the focus was baby Layla Trahan. If you recall, it was only a few short months ago that I was taking photos of Layla in the form of a belly. She was so cooperative and calm for the majority of the session, which I think we were all grateful for, making the whole process a breeze. We made it through three different outfits, with only one casualty by spit. Enjoy the monkeys and tutu!

It’s early morning and we were hanging out at Hotel Max in downtown Seattle. The sun was hitting the side of the building just right giving us a couple hours to use the natural lighting. My friend slash international super model, Jessica, was happy and willing to help out with this boudoir project. The collaboration was set up to show off a softer side of sexy and beauty – at least for my part. There were a few key themes that I wanted to deliver: softer / warmer lighting, relaxed nature, strong postures and some close up comps.

Taking on this project was an incredibly educational process and my main take aways were this: 1) sexy doesn’t have to be explicit, 2) women and all their being are beautiful, 3) oh, and my friends are pretty awesome. Thanks to Jessica and Billy for being a part of the learning process. If you have questions or are interested in having your portrait taken, please contact me by email: hello [at] kvwphoto.com.

If you made it this far, here’s a small image of the board I made that inspired the work above:

Time certainly flies. It didn’t seem like too long ago that I was taking photos of Avi when he was a little peanut with tiny little toes. To my delight, it was a warm welcome back into their (new!) home back in December with the smell of homemade pancakes topped with homemade jam. It was a casual Saturday morning with the kids running around and the family gathering around the table to enjoy a little breakfast. Let me tell you this, if you dig pancakes, you will have to try the ones Ed makes. If there was a Facebook page for it, I’d be a fan already. Check out the photos from our morning together playing around the house and hanging out with the chickens. Yes, chickens!

It only took three passes to get to Treehouse Point, and it was worth every U-turn. Located in Issaquah (east of Seattle), Treehouse Point makes a great spot for deep woodsy exploration with a hint of magic. If you’re looking for something adventurous – you know, Lord of the Rings meets Tarzan sort of thing. =) Never fear, we kept it classy too. I definitely recommend it not only as a place for photos, but also as a place for the weekend if you want to get away from all the busy urban noise without having to drive out too far.

So thank you Sara for finding this amazing place for us to hang out and take photos. A special thank you for braving the weather and all the steep paths we walked through to get to all the special little places!

While you might think that Seattle is a gloomy city with rain clouds just moments away from ruining a perfectly nice walk around town, well, you’re right. It’s October! BUT! I did get to squeeze out the last bit of Summer on the last weekend of September to do my first senior portrait session. We started off at the Arboretum next to the University of Washington (Go Huskies!) and made our way around the park before heading out to Alki Beach in West Seattle.

To all the residents of Alki, thank you for letting us borrow the side of your homes, your garage doors and outdoor sheds. They’re great backgrounds!

Below are just a few samples from our adventures across town. If you’re interested in senior portraits, let me know! Also, these photos are property of KVW Photo. I trust everyone understands what that means Thanks!
