Hi Everyone,

Big news this week! I am very excited that M. Larson Photography is now listed as one of Red Tricycle's Favorites for Baby, Children and Maternity Photography in Seattle! I am so pleased because I love Red Tricycle's website and email newsletters but also because I am on the list with a lot of other great photographers. Here's a copy of the review they wrote about me, but you can also click here to go directly to my page.

Thanks for all your help in making me a Seattle Favorite!
Martha

p.s. Don't forget about my great referral program for existing clients - send a friend my way for a sitting and get $50 off of your next session fee!

New Camera!

Hi Everyone,

Well, it only took me three weeks to find the time but I finally took the brand new Nikon D300 camera out of the box and took it out for a little test drive. This is picture #0001. I put over 30,000 images on my last camera so I am sure this little guy (or gal?!)and I have a great future together.

New for Mother's Day

mothersday_jewelry_650

Hi Everyone, brand new for Mother's Day (coming up May 11th!) I am introducing a new line of jewelry products that can be customized with your favorite image from our photo shoot. There is a special offer price for my existing customers only (hurry and you can become a new customer before the deadline!), just in time for the perfect Mother's Day present.

Call the studio for more information, or to place an order, but hurry - orders must be in by April 24th! Also, if you’d love to have some jewelry with your baby’s photo – I will arrange a special package and squeeze in a sitting in time for the big day!

Best,
M

New Business Cards

M. Larson Photo finally has brand new business cards! I wanted to create a series of cards that highlights the kind of photography I most love to do: maternity, kids (and babies too!), and women in all life stages. Below are three different cards, front and back pictures of each that show lots of images and highlight my vintage-inspired style as well. You can see all of these images larger on my website at M. Larson Photo. These themes will begin to appear soon on all of my printed materials including referral cards, gift certificates, and brochures - so let me know if you need any info to pass on to friends and family!

Playing with Texture

I love to play with textures. While making my new business cards, which I will post soon, I developed this shot of one of my favorite models. I like it - it's mysterious! She has kind of a modern Mona Lisa smile here. You can see her more classic portraits from our shoot back in February. I like to see the different styles you can create from the same shoot, even the same images. It's one of the trademarks of M. Larson Photography - pushing the boundaries of straight portraiture into the realm of art piece.

Model Search - Babies!

DSC_8514_blog_1

Hi Everyone, M. Larson Photography is working on a new ad campaign and I am doing a search for model babies! (though, not necessarily crying ones :) )

Who I need:
Babies under 6 weeks of age for newborn photo shoots (and their moms, too!)

Babies around 6 months of age who can sit up by themselves but aren't too mobile yet!

If you are, have, or know someone who has a baby that just fits this profile, please reach out to me about being a baby model. I will use your images in my ad campaigns and on the M. Larson photo blog and website, etc. Models will be compensated with a free sitting and a credit towards portrait artwork.
