Ashley March Photo Shoot
I need to start coming up with better names for shoots :)
Ashley and I took pictures for about half an hour on Friday, mostly so I could practice some manual techniques on my camera. Things went pretty well — although there has to be a more streamlined and time effective way to achieve what [...]
Tommy & Ashley Engagement Session
Tommy Ashley Engagement from Elyse Ku Felts on Vimeo.
Tommy and Ashley are getting married August 28, 2010. I was more than happy to have the opportunity to take their engagement photos for them (a) because they’re super cute and (b) because Tommy is my brother-in-law and Ashley is my soon to be sister-in-law, and I [...]
Toni Maternity Session
Toni Maternity from Elyse Ku Felts on Vimeo.
Casey and Toni are Randy’s cousin and cousin-in-law, respectively. Way back on August 7 when we got married, before the ceremony, Toni and Casey went to the doctors to see if their suspicions were correct and they were pregnant … the results were positive, and later, they discovered [...]
Planning for your portraiture session
I get a lot of clients who have never had their photo taken professionally before and they are quite overwhelmed as far as what to do or where to begin. It hit me today that it would prove quite useful to put together a nice guide that can work as a sort of worksheet to [...]
Courtney & Trevor Sibling Shoot
A little less than a week before Christmas, Courtney messaged me about getting photos of her and her brother done for Christmas. I told her we could certainly take them before Christmas, but that there was no guarantee they would be ready by then. Luckily for all of us, she agreed regardless and we ran [...]
Leanna & Michael Engagement Session
Leanna and Michael are getting married July 26, 2010 at the Lairmont Manor (coincidentally, the same location where Randy and I got hitched this past August!), and Leanna contacted me to do their wedding photos. We went to high school together way back in the day and I hadn’t heard from her or seen her [...]
Family P Children
An old family friend contacted me about a month ago to do some portraits of her little girl and her nieces and nephews for a Christmas present for their grandma. I happily accepted and met them at their grandmother’s house. The kids were a little wild and weren’t exceptionally keen on getting their photos taken, [...]
Baby G
While I was in Vegas shooting Kristi & Jeremy’s wedding festivities, Megan contacted me out of the blue to do photos of her new baby girl, Genevieve. Thanks Google for somehow making me one of the top results for “baby photography Seattle”! haha. In any case, I dragged my mom along with me last weekend [...]
Kiley & Ross Sibling Shoot
I graduated from high school with Kiley back in 2007, and have not seen her since then at all. She contacted me to do photos of her and her brother, Ross for a Christmas present for her parents, and we set off to Gas Works Park and the Fremont area to get some photos done [...]
Hayley Fall Fifteen
Hayley was the only non-volunteer who showed up for Fall Fifteen photos last weekend, and I’m so glad she came! Every so often I get a batch of photos I am extremely happy with and this is one of them! :) And I just have to share this funny story, haha, don’t get upset with [...]
Kyle Fall Fifteen
Kyle came out last weekend to help with my second Free Fifteen Minute Fall Sessions and I took some photos of him as a thank you. He was willing to climb up and around things at Gasworks Park which made these photos pretty fun :)

Randy Fall Portraits
A couple weeks ago, the same day I took Jeff and Lin’s portraits, I took some of my super handsome husband Randy. :) I wasn’t nearly as pleased with the color versions of these shots as I was the sepia and black and white. Sometimes that happens though and that’s okay. :) I still really [...]
Toni Headshots
On Sunday I took Randy’s cousin-in-law out for some headshots for her real estate business. We chatted a little bit on a beautiful, slightly foggy morning at Bothell Landing which is a magnificent park I had never seen before and cannot wait to get the opportunity to photograph again! Anyway, I think Toni’s shots came [...]
Free Fifteen-Minute Fall Sessions Take II
So last Saturday I attempted a “fifteen minute free fall portraiture session” promotional on the quad at UW. It failed because of my lack of preparedness and foresight. But this time it will go much better, I am certain! This time I have a few volunteers helping me out, AND the notice is a little [...]
Jeff & Lin Portraits
Yesterday I was trying to do a free fifteen minute photo session Saturday, but it did not go so well… but that’s okay because I learned a lot about what to do next week when I try it again (details coming). In any case, I took pictures of my husband Randy, and later, Randy’s cousin [...]
Tom & Carol Portraits
These photos are a little late being posted here on the blog, though they’ve been on facebook for a couple of weeks. I took photos of my mom and dad as a belated anniversary gift. I think they’re a pretty cute couple :)
We weren’t out too long as it was an unseasonably hot September day [...]
Family H
David found me on Craigslist and was trying to find a photographer to document his wife’s return. Both he and his wife are in the military and have been trading off terms, essentially. He had not seen his wife for almost a year when she came, and neither had their two children! I went out [...]
Marianne, Celtic Warrior
Marianne is a musician and describes herself as:
Warrior Danika’s ancestry is of Royalty from the lush hills of Ireland. Once a family of the reigning kingdom, through the mystery of destiny, were outcast as a Gypsies. Now Warrior Danika walks this beloved land as a Warrior Queen, Strong, Powerful, Equipped to Win. She has faced [...]
Katie B Senior Photos
Katie was a blast to take pictures for. She was super chatty and a lot of fun, and I’m pretty dang pleased with the shots I got. Thanks for a great day at your house, Katie!

Erin Senior Photos
Erin was a little camera shy at first, but I think she warmed up and I hope had a decent time toward the end. She was a great sport and did very well in front of the camera, even with being a little uncertain about the whole thing. :)

Connie Senior Photos
I took Connie’s senior photos about a month ago — and she was a total riot! It took us an hour and a half to shoot 600 shots, which is high even for me! She didn’t get all the shots on her CD, but choosing the best from among them proved difficult! She was a [...]
Nick & Gabrielle Boudoir
I took these shots back in February, but it took me a while to get them posted because of communication-tag with the clients. This was my first experience with “boudoir” intimate shots, and I’m pretty pleased with the results.

Mason Newborn
I was so excited by the opportunity to take pictures of Jennifer’s maternity, and even more so by the chance to take pictures of Jennifer and Brian’s little Mason once he arrived! A little bit unfortunately, it was almost a month after birth before I was able to get out there and they were ready [...]
Jennifer Maternity
About a month ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Jennifer and Brian a few days before Jennifer was scheduled for a C-section. It was a blustery, dreary day, but we did our best, even after my tripod broke about 10 minutes in!
