Seattle Family Portraits - by M. Larson Photography

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing a Seattle family with a beautiful 13 year old daughter.  I loved her outfit and the cute flower in her hair.  This family was a ton of fun to photograph and we did the session in their rather magical green and woody backyard, and also down the street in their neighborhood. 

Miss S here is at that great age - thirteen - and she's going into the 8th grade.  She is an amazingly talented fiddle player and we took time in the middle of the session for her and her Dad to jam a bit for me.  She played recently at Folk Life and has her first CD out!  How cool is that?! 

I hope to photograph the very pretty Miss S as she becomes a teenager.  Shooting something a little different from my maternity and newborn portraits really got my creative energy flowing!  It was kind of nice to have a subject old enough to listen and sit still, though I'll still happily chase after 2-year-olds any day.
