City chic Family Portraits - Inspiration for those of us that are not outdoorsy
Awe, the great outdoors! Living in Seattle people are always talking about their hikes and getting outside under the stars. What is that quote that says it so perfectly? “The only stars I want to be under are the five at the Four Seasons Hotel.” Nope, our family is not outdoorsy but in the spirit of enjoying our amazing Northwest, we decided to do our holiday family portrait with a “city chic” inspiration on a roof top downtown and we had the best time.
Some of our favorite portraits are often the result of moments that happen off camera. Love a well posed yet candid capture that reminds everyone just how much fun the family had together. Pro Tip: Consider bringing your own hype person/ jester to help everyone relax (we bring extended family or friends and make them work as photo assistants)
Hopeful that people are looking at faces but my guess is all eyes are on his hand fully on the booty :D
Love that everyone gets a moment to shine and a time to play. This idea is often part of choosing outfits that allow for good movement, color coordination and variety. Yes… squatting in heals is a bit easier when Mom’s pants are stretchy.
Remember that time when the kids all got along (for like 45 solid minutes!)
Ready for her close up. Adding a little on-trend hat had her feeling like supermodel in the making…and the pre-session blow-out for her hair didn’t hurt either. Cheers to professional camera ready style for feeling like our best in front of the camera!
Pretty sure this one doesn’t need any explaining at all. He’s often the center of our laughter and our joy. (The video below kind of shows you why). Shout out and so much love to our own Studio B lead photographer Makayla who is magic with a camera and love to photographers assistant Ava for her skills on behind the scenes video capture + making us all crack up with commentary.
