New Baby Announcement!

Congratulations to Anne and Rob from my Winter Babies Post, whose little girl Madeline was born on February 28th - just in the nick of time before leap day! Maybe mom and dad will even send along a photo for the blog. Best wishes Anne and Rob!

Mom and Baby

Look at this little monkey - isn't she so cute? This shoot wasn't my traditional baby shoot - this one was all about mother-daughter-bonding through nursing. I was able to capture some beautiful tender moments with mom nuturing daughter but during a little break (for all of us!) I snapped this quick shot of Shiloh looking full of personality!

Sneak Peek!

I had a really fun shoot today with a cute little redhead boy at Gas Works Park in Seattle. Gas Works can be a great place to photograph kids - especially little boys - who love to check out the metal, wheels, or "machines" as this little one called them.

He is almost two which is a great age to photograph - they're full of energy and interested in exploring the world. This is just a little sneak peek for his parents - I am sure more shots from this photo shoot will go up soon!

Best,
M. Larson

Women of All Ages and Stages

I love to photograph women - whether they are expecting a baby or just beginning to chart their paths in life.

Women are very often the ones behind the camera, making sure to be the historian of their partners, children, and family. Often, women only get their portraits made on their wedding day and when they're expecting a baby - but there is so much more to women's lives than just two major events!

You will want to look back on all different stages in your life; admire how young you looked, admire how strong you looked, or just marvel at how you've grown over time.

Woman are always looking for a little me-time and trying to find ways to celebrate themselves. Giving a woman you love (yes, even yourself!) a photoshoot devoted only to her can be an experience that will last far beyond the few hours we spend shooting together.

I am currently developing a portfolio devoted just to women. I would love to photograph you at any stage in your life. Watch my website at M. Larson Photography for a debut of this portfolio soon! And contact me if you'd like to be a part of it: info@mlarsonphoto.com



E - I had fun at our shoot!

p.s. Does the staircase from this shoot look familiar?

Winter Babies

You love the look of maternity photographs taken on the beach but your baby is due in February!?! Don't worry! I have plenty of Pacific Northwest babies born from October-March and their moms still get great beach and nature-inspired shots without having to hide inside the studio. Seattlites are hardy souls and there are plenty of gorgeous sunny days in winter even if it takes a little creative scheduling to get to them!

With some warm sweaters and jackets you can have outdoor maternity shots that are fashionable and have the right feel for a winter baby. You can stay wrapped up nice and warm (and wrap up baby too), we can bring a thermos of herbal tea, and hats and scarves give an unexpected twist to traditional maternity portraits.

There are lots of winter maternity shots on my website: M. Larson Photography.

New Toy!

That's right, I've bought myself another vintage camera (or two, or three). This one is nicknamed "Chubby" because he can't quite fit into the contraption I built especially for Margot. Maybe someday I will get around to building Chubby his own homemade lens contraption but for now he will just have to squeeze a bit. The look is a bit cleaner, and softer, with beautiful edges. I think it may be very well suited to babies, in fact! Stay tuned!
