Pre Wedding Candids {Sam & David}

2008-08-05T11:12:00.000-07:00

This was one of my favorite moments of the whole day. Samantha's father had given her this necklace when she was a year old. When he saw her for the first time, his expression was enough to get the whole room misty....but when he put the necklace on her...it put me over the edge (of course my mind wonders to thinking of my own husband and daughter having this very same special moment in about 20 years....). They have a special bond, and it was such a privilege to be a part of their special day.

The souped up golf cart made such a great entrance for the bride!

This made me giggle!

Sam + David = Love {wedding day}

2008-08-04T09:06:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun at Samantha & David's Wedding! They are a fun couple that likes to have a great time, and wanted everyone (including us!) to have a fun at their wedding. This wedding was full of personal touches that made it so much fun to photograph....the bride rode in on a souped up golf cart, the bride and groom wore Mickey & Minnie ears (check back for galleries of these!!) , and the bride's father put a necklace on the bride that he had given her on her first birthday....needless to say, the room was in tears for this part, including me!

Samantha & David: Sneak Peek!

2008-07-29T23:18:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun Saturday photographing Samantha & David's wedding. They are a laid back couple, who are so obviously in love, it made our job cake! The wedding was at Frontier Airpark in Lake Stevens, WA. We had so great photo ops in the field, by the hanger, and with the airplanes. We had such a great time! Congrats on a fun filled, relaxed wedding day! Thanks for letting us be a part of it!

This is a sneak peek of Samantha & David's Wedding. Check here for full galleries or email me at kaylee@eylanderphoto.com to be sent an email when their galleries are up! Thanks!

Window Light + A Beautiful Bride = Gloriousness!

2008-07-28T17:07:00.000-07:00

One of my very favorite parts of a wedding day is taking a few portraits of the bride in window light. Nothing can quite duplicate the softness of window light...

Lesha + Kyle's Wedding Day! {Take Two}

2008-07-28T00:27:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more from Lesha & Kyle's Big Day! All though the day went by so fast...we got so many shots of them. It always makes my job so much easier when the couple is obviously in love....I just capture what's all ready there.
They had an amazing Rolls Royce that they drove away in!

This is one of my favorite moments: When the Groom sees the Bride for the first time! I love photographing this part of the wedding day...there is always a lot of emotion!

Lots more to come! Check here to view or purchase images from Lesha & Kyle's Wedding!

{Sneak Peek: Lesha + Kyle's Wedding Day!!}

2008-07-26T12:20:00.000-07:00

Last night we got to photograph of Lesha & Kyle's wedding at the Grand Willow Inn in Mt. Vernon, WA. We had such a blast! The wedding party was a bunch of fun people, and the bride & groom were so great to work with...the only hard part was fighting to mosquitoes and hoping that the family of raccoons didn't want to jump out of the tree and decide to join the wedding ceremony. I have to say...the raccoons....that was a first! :) Luckily they stayed in the tree, gave the audience something to giggle at, and all was well!

This is just a Sneak Peek....check back soon for more from Lesha & Kyle's Wedding, or shoot me an email at kaylee@eylanderphoto.com if you would like an email when the full gallery is up!

Baby Girl, Aleka!

2008-07-25T10:45:00.001-07:00

What a cute baby girl! One of my dear friend's daughter spent the day with us and we had a blast! Here are just a few from our impromptu photo session. Its a great example of just how many fun facial expressions little ones have in a short amount of time.

See more gallery's of our children's photography here.

Blue Chair Session #3: {Part 2}

2008-07-17T09:42:00.000-07:00

Here's more from our last Blue Chair Session!

What is a Blue Chair Session, you ask? Well......Another Photographer, Molly Vaden, of Molly Vaden Photography (who also happens to be a dear friend, and my amazing co-photographer for weddings) and I set up a model and location, and a few photographers get together and have fun! We share tips, talk about ISO's, shutter speeds, f-stops, and just laugh alot! We consider it a successful session, if we have learned, laughed and gotten a few great pictures for our portfolios.

If you are interested in being a part of a Blue Chair Session, either as a photographer, or as a model, please contact me, at kaylee@eylanderphoto.com

Blue Chair Session #3

2008-07-15T23:18:00.000-07:00

We had such a great time tonight doing a Blue Chair Session!!! We photographed Cerissa Day Ramsey....a singer/songwriter located in the Everett, Wa area. We had a blast! Thanks for being such a great sport Cerissa!

Sam & David {Take 2!}

2008-07-08T22:02:00.000-07:00

More from my shoot with Samantha & David...whose wedding is coming up in 3 weeks! They were calm, cool & still flirting...which is a great sign of the years to come! Thanks for being game to try all my ideas!

[Sam and David] E-Session

2008-07-07T23:45:00.000-07:00

I had a great time tonight photographing David & Samantha. They are so much in love, its was easy to capture that in the images. I can only photograph what is there...not create something out of nothing. I'm a photographer, not a magician....I can't create emotions, love, attraction or respect in my images, if its not there in the first place. I only capture! Lucky for me, this couple was wonderfully in love! Thanks for a fun night, Sam & David! Can't wait to photograph the wedding!

Sea Sharp Sails Again!

2008-06-29T23:22:00.001-07:00

This weekend I was able to take a voyage on the Puget Sound on the sailboat, Sea Sharp. What a beautiful day to be on the water taking in the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, Hat Island, and all of the other boats taking advantage of our great weather. We had a lesson on rigging, winching, reefing and rudders. It was a lot of fun, and a new adventure! This was a new subject for me to photograph as well! We had such a great day!!

Friends + Tutus = Fun!

2008-06-25T08:04:00.000-07:00

Ceremony From Floral Hall

2008-06-23T21:56:00.001-07:00

One of the great things about Floral Hall is the light that streams in the windows. I love being able to capture images of the wedding day in natural light. Its not always possible, so its a bonus when natural light is available!

Tutu Fantasy!!!!

2008-06-23T09:39:00.001-07:00

On Saturday, I had the great opportunity to do a session with Heidi and the models from TutuFantasy.com. We spent the session at the Seattle Arboretum. It was such a blast! The tutu's were just so cute, and the girls had a great time running, jumping, playing ring around the rosie and collecting leaves.

Part of the fun of photographing children is that they have so many expressions to capture, in so little time!

We now have several tutu's available for sessions, just like the ones in these images. Please let me know if you would like to include some of these in your session! If you would like a tutu of your own (they make great gifts too!!), please visit Tutufantasy.com!!

Stay tuned for more from this session!!

Pink Cosmos and Cat Eye Glasses!

2008-06-19T08:06:00.000-07:00

On of the fun things about being a photographer is that I have all the tools for taking great images of my own kids. The down side is....I take pictures for a living....and sometimes I just get tired of picking up the camera. Sometimes I just want to enjoy the moment.

I went through a phase last summer, during wedding season, where I didn't take very many pictures of my kids....and when wedding season was over.....so was my kid's summer! I have made it a point now, to not get overwhelmed with photographing other people....because in the end...it's my kid's memories that I want to remember....not other peoples'. I love photographing people, don't get me wrong! I love capturing the moment, and seeing families laugh and enjoy each other! But for me, balance is the key! I had to learn that. Enjoy your family while you can!!

If you would like to schedule a fun Portrait session, feel free to email me at kaylee@eylanderphoto.com or call me @ 425.344.8128! It will be a blast!

Richard + Christa = Love [Part 3]

2008-06-17T22:34:00.000-07:00

Some more from our weekend wedding. The Wedding Party was fun, and the guys came well prepared with ideas for their pictures. Straight out of the Monkey's sitcom...or a Beatles album....They were a great group to photograph!

To view their whole wedding...go to my gallery and look for Christa & Ricky.

More From Floral Hall

2008-06-16T18:43:00.000-07:00

More from our weekend wedding. This wedding was a Floral Hall, at Forest Park, in Everett, WA. It had a nice garden in front to take pictures in, as well as a large covered porch for pictures. It really helped that the day was overcast....one of the only reasons that I like living in Washington! But as soon as the ceremony was finished, the clouds parted and there was blue sky and sun! What a great day to get married! Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Porter!

Richard + Christa = Love

2008-06-16T10:25:00.000-07:00

Peacock feathers, kiwi cupcakes, ambient music, and a bride & groom that were made for each other. What a great experience we had this weekend photographing Richard & Christa. The colors were amazing, the music incredible, and the bride and groom so comfortable with each other! It made our job so simple....just capture the great elements all ready in play.

This is just a tiny sneak peek into their beautiful day. More to come! Thanks Richard & Christa for making our job so fun and easy! You have been great to work with.

More Lesha + Kyle

2008-06-13T16:06:00.001-07:00

I love this one because Kyle saw the mirror...and I saw his eyes light up! I love that he was thinking outside the box...that's what makes my job so much fun!!

Lesha + Kyle

2008-06-13T08:23:00.000-07:00

I got the chance to photograph Lesha & Kyle last night for their engagement session. They were so fun, and came along my creative ride of discovering places in Kirkland, WA to take some pictures. They did such a great job of being themselves....and trying whatever crazy idea I had! Thanks Lesha & Kyle for letting me stretch myself! Can't wait to photograph your wedding in July!

Bump & Baby Collection

2008-06-11T09:19:00.000-07:00

For some reason, I am really inspired by babies right now! It could be that my son is 14 months and is moving out of the little baby stage....or I guess it could be that my biological clock is reminding me that if I plan on having more kids, now would be a good time. I'm leaning toward the first option.

One of the great perks about my job is that I get to interact with newborns, babies and toddlers all the time. I get my baby fix....and I don't have to get up 5 times in the middle of the night!

Little Bundle Collection

2008-06-10T18:40:00.000-07:00

I just love babies!! There is something so fresh and new about babies! So much potential, so much unknown, so many expressions! One of my favorite things is photographing newborns and babies....there is so much to document! The little fingers, toes, belly buttons....

I'm offering a new package that includes a Maternity Session, as well as 4 Portrait Sessions at all the wonderful stages of babyhood! Let me know if you would like to schedule your own collection!
