How many times does a photographer hear these words?  If you're shooting Family, Engagement, Maternity,  any types of portraits using human beings, you're going to find that there are always those that 'hate the way the look' when they pose for photos!

The Seattle area provides so many places to photograph where people can be themselves, laugh, smile, jump, dance,  whatever they feel when they are out an about our wonderful city! 

I have recently discovered, after shooting many clients, that when they come to view their photos, they smile more when they see the fun shots from the shoot, and are more critical of their looks when they view their posed portraits. 

That should say something about our lives in general.  Have fun,  dance like nobody is watching, and don't try and pose for others they way you expect they would want to see you....  Capture what you love, love what you do... and do what you love!

It's that simple!
