Emily Brooker Photography- Senior Photos- Seattle Public Library

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy at the Seattle Public Library to capture some senior photos. The location ended up being a perfect fit since Jeremy is really into books and science- he wants to be a chemical engineer! Jeremy was awesome to work with and after calling him handsome and making a couple Simpson references he was able to relax and we got some great shots. We explored and got lost in the library but found some great nooks and crannies- which are perfect for photo sessions like this!

Senior photo sessions are awesome... it reminds me of my youth and all the promise life has to offer!

Alisha and Casey- Tacoma- Engagement Photo Session

Emily Brooker Photography- Engagement and Wedding Photography- Tacoma, Washington

On this gorgeous evening, I was able to work as a second shooter for an engagement session for the soon-to-be married Alisha and Casey.

We met at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma at the rose gardens and worked all around the park. It was a beautiful and calm evening and you could tell that love was in the air! To see more of their session, check out their gallery!

The Roeder Family- Allentown, Pennsylvania- Family Photography

Emily Brooker Photography- Family Photography- Based out of the Greater Seattle Area

I took a two week vacation to see my parents in Pennsylvania and while I was there I set up a family session at the beautiful Rose Gardens in Allentown. This garden is very serene and the ideal spot for wedding photos. 

Surprisingly when I had mentioned this location, Julie had said that her and Mike were supposed to have their wedding photos taken there but it had rained on their Big Day- so she felt it was the perfect place for her family photos. To see more pictures from their session, click here!

Aspen & Kyler- Top Pot Doughnuts in Bellevue- Children's Photography

Emily Brooker Photography- Children's Portraits- Bellevue, Washington

I have been trying to find some indoor locations for photo shoots if the weather is temperamental which Seattle is known for...

so I took the kids to Top Pot Doughnuts in Bellevue and used it as an experimental session. 

What I liked about this location is how bright it was even on a not so great day and how yummy our doughnuts were! Having them chow on something gave the kids something to do while they were getting their pictures taken which is sometimes half the battle when it comes to photographing children- distraction!

( And yes... Kyler really does eat as fiercely as depicted! )

Overall, this was a really good place for an indoor photo shoot and if i wasn't cleaning up a bottle of spilled water and kissing boo-boos from Aspen falling out of his chair, I probably would have had more pictures to share. But life with kids is unpredictable and not always picture perfect!

Hope you had a wonderful Friday!

Christen - Renton- Maternity Photo Shoot

Emily Brooker Photography- Maternity Photography- Renton, Washington

I had the pleasure of photographing my first maternity session with my sister in law, Christen. She is only 5 months along with her first child. Later in her pregnancy we are going to do another session right before the baby is due in November.

This session was very spontaneous and I loved that we just picked up and went to Gene Cuolon Park in Renton and captured some great shots.

Her bump is just the right size for people to start noticing she is pregnant and you can tell how excited she truly is! More pictures are on the site so check out her gallery here!

Photography Workshop by Candice from Project Thursday

I was inspired to start my business from this lovely lady, Candice Hackett. She was the photographer we hired for our family photos and I loved her style and artistic eyes. 

So when Candice started offering workshops, I jumped on the chance! We met at a coffee shop in Tacoma and she went over a great presentation she uses as a guideline that was filled with her tips. It was great being able to sit around with our cameras and fiddle around while she talked about manipulating different things like ISO, aperature and shutter speed. 

 To add to the overall greatness of the workshop, Candice brought a model with her for us to practice shooting. We were able to practice posing, composition and shifting perspective. It was a great beginners course and was a great refresher on a lot of concepts I had known a bit about.

 If you are in the Seattle or Tacoma area and are interested in learning in an introductory photography course, check out Candice's site at Project Thursday.

Fike Family- Renton- Family Photography

Emily Brooker Photography- Family Portraits- Renton, Washington

I met a wonderful family who wanted to get some photos taken before they move to Montana.

Having worked with the little girl before, I was prepared for wrangling a two year old during a photo session. 

This family session was taken at Gene Cuolon Park in Renton. I love this park because of all the little areas you can hang out in along the water. Mom came prepared with some wooden letters and it made for some great shots.

Overall, I had a great time during this family session and am really happy with their gallery!
