Good Afternoon, Western Washington!

I want to tell you all about my new studio… WAIT! First: I hope everyone is staying safe and somewhat dry in this crazy weather we are having. I am sitting here, editing some beautiful senior portraits of a lovely young lady (class of 2017!), and realized that I never got around to announcing my beautiful studio space! How did that happen? I have no idea how so much time goes by.

Everett, Washington Portrait Studio

Yes, that is right. I now have a lovely studio in downtown Everett. While I will always do portrait sessions all over Western Washington, as I love the beautiful state we live in, and get to see some amazing homes… I am excited to have a gorgeous studio. This studio is for maternity, newborn, seniors, couples, small families (including your furry family members!), and boudoir. Here is a little sneak peek of the studio space, it is lovely, with old brick walls, rustic wooden floors, and of course, the options for traditional, (yet fun and spunky!) portraits with simple backgrounds.

Here is just a teaser image of the studio. Stay tuned for a recent session in the studio, so much fun!

Seniors, 2017 Mini Sessions! ~ Everett Senior Photographer

Seniors, class of 2017

Senior mini sessions are now available!

Are you one of many seniors, class of 2017, realizing summer is over and your much anticipated senior year has begun? WHAT?!? Yes, your last year of high school is under way. Now you have so many deadlines to meet, including yearbook photos! Are you worried that you don’t have time to squeeze in a fun, custom portrait session in time to submit to yearbooks?

Now is your chance!

You have 2 choices.

In my beautiful, Everett studio THIS Sunday between 10am and noon (I still have a couple of slots open).
At a beautiful park on Monday, October 3 between 5:30pm and 7:30pm. Email info@sk-artistry.com to schedule!

These mini sessions may be shorter than a full length session (those are typically up to 2 hours long), but they are still full of fun, giving you the chance to get several poses in, along with an outfit change if you like. You will have plenty of time to show off your wonderful personality.

For $120 you have a 30 minute session, where we will get in several poses for variety.

You will also have an online gallery of 20 images to choose from.

Out of those 20 images, you will also get to pick your yearbook image (submitted to your yearbook teacher by Sindea) along with 3 web sized digital images for social media sharing. You will also have the opportunity to purchase finished prints, graduation announcements, and so much more!

SK Artistry Weddings ~ Everett Wedding Photographer

Happy Monday to all!

Have I mentioned that I used to primarily photograph weddings? Yes, there were those years that I was shooting 20 to 30 weddings every summer. It was fun, but lots of intense work! And then… I became a birth doula, which meant that I had to choose between weddings and births. At that time, it was time for a change, so my focus (haha) became births. In fact, back when I started attending births as a doula and a birth photographer, there was only one other birth photographer in the entire area, and many folks thought it was so odd, that I wanted to capture birth stories! These days, we have so many talented birth photographers around, I am so glad that it has finally become more mainstream and more babies’ births are being honored through photography.

But what does this have to do with today?

September 2016? It is time again for a change. After attending well over 400 births in 19 years, I am taking a break from birth work to refocus (more photography humor there), and am now photographing in a beautiful studio (more on that in another post), and am able to photograph weddings and events again. I will not be going back to 20 to 30 weddings a summer. Instead, I will be able to take on a limited number of weddings per year, and while everyone truly enjoys have a few beautiful posed wedding portraits, I will be mainly there to tell your story, not just do staged portraits.

If you are interested in having SK Artistry tell your story, through beautiful imagery, please get in touch today!

In the meantime, enjoy Emilee and Nick’s beautiful, and very fun wedding images!

Humor is so important at weddings. Mix that with some beautiful tears, and you have one fabulous wedding day.
