Molly :: HS Senior

Can I just say that I LOVE having this week off to catch up on all the things I'm too busy to do during the work week?!  Seriously, even though I've been sick, I'm getting laundry, cooking and cleaning done, along with making sure our puppy gets enough exercise!  It's been fabulous!  Anyways, to the pictures.  I was able to take some photos of my sister a while back and (thanks to all this time off) I just finished them a few days ago!  She's a Senior in High School (ahh!!)!! :)

Christmas Picture Round Up!

WOW!  Can you believe it's already December 28th and Christmas is OVER??!  It's crazy to me!  I feel like this year went by SO FAST!  Especially the last couple of months...I have been so busy with pictures lately that it's nice to finally catch my breath!  This is a little summary of all the photo shoots I did leading up to Christmas.  Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas!  OH and Happy New Year! :)

Scarry Family

Back in the Fall, the Scarry family needed some photos taken for Christmas cards.  We wanted to get them done while the fall colors were at their peak.  These were taken at Lake Wilderness Park in Maple Valley on a beautiful day!

I LOVE FALL!

Ok, so now that Thanksgiving is over and we're getting into the Christmas season, I figured I would do a little recap of some of the fall photos I've taken this year.  I absolutely LOVE fall!!  Especially when it's not raining!

Kessler Family

Meet the Kessler Family!  I met Tammy through a Norwex Party, and when I hosted my own party, of course I called her to do the showing.  (If you don't know what Norwex is, click here.  AMAZING products!!!)  Anyways, she learned that I did photography, we did a little bartering (Norwex products for photography services), and here is the result!  I am so NOT above bartering, by the way. ;)

Kaylee :: 19 Months

This is our friend's daughter, Kaylee.  She was not quite two when I took these earlier this summer.  For being such a little girl, she has quite the personality!

Jerrud & Amy :: Married

Jerrud and Amy were married on a gorgeous summer day in Downtown Seattle!  These two had SO MUCH fun on this day, and that's how I think every wedding should be!  Enjoy! :)

Keefe Family

I was so excited to do these family pictures!!  Drew was my 100th Fan on Facebook ("Like my page here) so he got 50% off a photo shoot!  The only way to stay up on random deals like that one is to BECOME A FAN! :)  Come on, you know you want to!  

Anyways, I used to work with Drew and have known his family for a few years now.  And I've watched his family grow and grow in those couple years!  I did their family pictures last year before I even officially had a business going.  Well, this year, they have a new addition and I was very excited to document this time in their lives!!

This is how it started out... hahahaha!  This didn't last long though! :)

Policani Family

This photo shoot was so much fun!  I met the Policani's at the Ballard Locks on a BEAUTIFUL summer day!  The flowers were blooming, the sun was shining and the Policani kids were having a blast running around while I took their pictures!  These are definitely some of my favorite family pictures to date!! :)

Jayce :: Newborn

Woohoo!  Post #2 of the day! :)

Meet Jayce!  This sweet little guy was only 9 days old when I took his pictures.  

Jason & Liz :: Married

Ok, so based on my blogger absence, you probably all think I haven't taken very many pictures this summer...  The truth is that I've been SO BUSY taking pictures that I haven't gotten around to blogging about them!!  If you're a fan of Megan Michaelis Photography on Facebook, however, you'd be up to date on all my recent photo shoots.  So if you're not a fan already, what are you waiting for?!  "Like" My Facebook page HERE. :)

This post documents the marriage of Jason and Liz.  They were married up in Lynnwood on a beautiful summer day...well at least it turned into a beautiful day after the rain quit!  Enjoy!!

Austin James :: Newborn

Little Austin was only 5 days old when I took these pictures.  Back in June I did Amy's maternity pictures, which you can see here.  These pictures just make you want to squeeze and snuggle this adorable baby!!

    

  

The theme of Brad and Amy's nursery is Owls.  So I found this ADORABLE hat on Etsy and surprised Amy with it.  I wish I had a picture of her face when she saw this!  She was SO surprised!

  

One of my friends said that in the picture on the right, it looks like Austin is playing air guitar and rockin out! Hahaha! :)

 

 One of my favorites!!

LOVE this one of Turbo, protecting little Austin!

 

If anyone is interested, here is the Etsy store I ordered the owl hat from:  JoJosBootique

Matt & Amanda :: Married

Wow, I have some catching up to do!!  The last 6 weeks have been SO BUSY!!  After Matt & Amanda got married, my sister was in town for two weeks and I've since had 3 other weddings, two newborn photo shoots and two family shoots.  Add all this to my regular day job and it's no wonder I'm just getting around to posting this!!  :)  But stay tuned, there will be more soon as I catch up!

So, here we are!  After taking pictures at virtually every milestone throughout Matt & Amanda's engagement (see previous post here), the wedding finally happened and the photos show what a fabulous day it was!  Enjoy!!

Matt & Emily :: Engaged

This was probably one of the most fun photos shoots I've ever done!  The week before my friends Matt & Amanda got married (See some photos from their engagement here), they wanted some more engagement pictures done.  Amanda's friend and bridesmaid, Emily, came along with her fiance (also named Matt).  So we decided to do some engagement photos for them too!

 

 

We got on this awesome bridge and found some very appropriate graffiti for an engagement session.  LOVE THIS PICTURE!

 

 

 

 

Ok this last picture needs some explaining...Emily and Matt had never seen slugs like what we have here in good 'ol Washington...they're from WI and PA.  Being from WI and IL myself, I can attest--these gross things do not live out there.  So they thought it would be funny to take a picture of the ring next to this slug.  Eewww. :)

Handmade "Boutique" Packaging

Ok, not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about this!  I've decided that I want wedding CD's going out with a little extra special packaging...but since I needed to mail a CD TODAY, I didn't have time to order any fancy schmancy supplies online.  So...I made my OWN!  Right down to the envelope!  I'm so happy with how this CD package turned out!  This is going to be a standard on all outgoing Wedding CD's! :)

Wade & Sabina :: Married

Here are some photos from my very first wedding!!  Wade and Sabina were married at the Belle Chapel in Snohomish on June 18, 2011.  These two were totally in love--and I think you can see that in these pictures!
