Contemporary Portraits: Mah Family

Meet the Mah Family! With the new addition of their baby girl, the Mah’s decided that it was time to update their family portraits.   And let me tell you — they were absolute perfection in every way — perfectly coordinated and so very lovely to photograph (…even making their way over from Redmond perfectly on time :-) ).  I really love when the affection that a family shares at home translates in the studio  (not an easy feat when you consider all of the potential madness that can go into a family of four getting ready for a professional portrait)  I adore a white on white portrait because it’s both contemporary and timeless at the same time.  No distraction, the clean, light ascetic just let’s us all focus on the feelings.

Mount Si Model Student 2011: Holly

Meet Holly, one of our new Model Students for the Class of 2011 from Mount Si High School.  (Yes, I said 2011!!!)  Studio B Seniors’ Models like Holly are high school students that partner with Studio B Seniors to promote the studio at their schools and within their community during the Spring of their Junior Year.  These fun and photogenic teens help us in preparing for the upcoming senior  season by modeling our new styles, sets and trends.  We’ll showcase the images from these photo shoots in our Senior Campaign advertising.  Our high profile Models Students learn valuable skills related to real world marketing, promotions and in the process  earn big time credit toward their own Senior pictures.

Decorating with Wall Portraits: Gaan Family

So excited to share this beautiful “portrait wall” from the Gaan Family.  Mom Lisa LOVES family portraits and she has such a gorgeous home that I wanted this installation to blend seamlessly with her existing interior design.  We designed this 5-piece Signature Print series for their main entry from their outdoor lifestyle portrait session this past winter.  Using digital renderings and samples, we created custom sized prints for this space (ranging from 18-30 inches) and finished each one with a  brushed-scroll molding that mirrored the metal work on the adjacent staircase.

Contemporary Children’s Portrait: Fischer Kids

Meet the Fischer kids that visited us for a romp at our studio in Issaquah. Just had to show you 1/10 of the energy that young  Zach brought to our Spring inspired kids photo shoot.  Big sister Mattie was the only one persuasive enough to stop this little boy in his tracks long enough for me to grab this sweet portrait.  Loved the outfit and wardrobe styling for this photo shoot (Mom, Noelle brought SO many cute clothes…a must for every photo shoot — choices, choices, choices).  I could totally see these images as a fun wall portrait series in any number of rooms in the home — play room, child’s room, family room.

Baby Birthday Portrait: Liam

So oh my goodness…if every baby made it as easy as birthday boy Liam!  Just seconds from being a real “walker”, happy little Liam was all smiles and love for his Mommy Lori (cooing at him just off camera) Usually, the grown-ups have to shamelessly perform like trained circus animals to get those amazing expressions from our kids but, Liam generously shared them without the usual acrobatics!  He’s the type that lures all of us into having more babies…and we all know what happens when the first baby is a dream right? :-)

Professional Headshot: Heather

Owner of Chic Ink Heather Hildebrant photographed at Studio B Portraits

As the owner of Chic Ink, Heather needed a professional photograph as creative and contemporary as the custom cards she designs for her bridal clients.  In today’s market, maintaining a fresh, current headshot is essential.  No matter what your industry, everyone is better positioned for success when putting their best face forward.  Like it or not, online communities — from Facebook to Linked In, E-Harmony to Monster — are here to stay and as more people are networking, socializing and doing business in the virtual space — it’s never been more important to look your best. (I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but the reality is…people will judge you for your 1980’s blue eyeliner and mall bangs…get thyself to a photographer :-)   In that spirit, we’re reminding everyone about Professionals Week! March 8-12….your perfect opportunity update your headshot.  We did this special last year and we booked out quickly so reserve your space ASAP.

Birthday Portrait: Hood Twins

I’m setting up in the camera room and I hear a little excited voice from the front lobby yell — “I’m at the studio!!!” ( If only every person that came to get their portraits made had as much enthusiasm as these little girls.)  We’ve been loving all of the birthday portraits we’ve been shooting as part of our friendship with Studio 3 Music.  Twins, Piper and Casey were at Studio B in celebration of their 4th birthday and they couldn’t have been more sweet and fun to photograph.

Maternity Portrait: Mazeika Family

Portrait Studio Maternity Pictures by Professional Photographer Brooke Clark

So WOW!  Could “Mom-to-Be” Ausra be anymore beautiful? (Click here to SEE THE SHOOT) She and husband Gandis walked through the door and I absolutely knew we were about to have a GREAT photo shoot.  We started the afternoon with Ausra getting glammed up — our make-up artist extraordinaire, Sarah enhanced Ausra’s porcelain skin and gorgeous blue eyes before we headed on to the set.  This was the second of three looks that we created..I love fresh flowers for photo shoots and with Valentines weekend just having passed…we had a ton of them around the studio.   Stay tuned for Mazeika Family Portraits Part II…arrival of their baby girl.
