We headed to the beach just before sunset yesterday to take advantage of the sunshine and pleasant temperatures in Seattle. Gorgeous! I love it when nature provides the good stuff. Isn’t photography fun?
These photos were taken as part of my Beach Photo FUNdraiser for Room Nine Community School. We opened up two more spots for next weekend, so let me know if you’d like to participate.

I find that photography opens my eyes to fun that I might not have found otherwise. Had I not gone and played in the snow with this family that morning, I probably would have wasted my time watching TV or something. I love winter, and Seattle pretty much didn’t have one this year. We saw a snowflake or two float down from the sky one evening, but that was the extent of it. I’m so glad I had the chance to romp around in the snow at least once this year.

At the SPPA monthly competition, I was awarded second place in the Wedding category for this photo!

These kids have been so much fun to work with, and it thrills me that they get to be a part of my competition experiences! I think the best part about this photo is its genuine reflection of the children’s personalities. I admit I might tell people where to stand from time to time, but other than that, this moment is genuinely candid. These kids got all dressed up and *gasp* acted like kids! How wonderful! That’s what Lara Grauer Photography is all about – capturing those elements that make people who they are.

Chicago has been treating me well – lots of sunshine & snow, and great February weather. I’ve enjoyed spending time in a theatre again after far too long! Photography in the dark has proven to be a welcomed change – and a great opportunity to flex my photography muscles.
I want to say congratulations to Jump Rhythm Jazz Project on a successful start to their 20th anniversary season! Last night was opening night, and it went very well indeed. Keep an eye out for this company and go see them if you can. It’s well worth it!

Winter Whimsy was a blast! We had delicious food, mimosas, music, and wonderful company. I really enjoyed working with everyone! I thought it only appropriate to share some photos from the event… maybe you can join us next time!

Less than a week to go for Winter Whimsy 2010! I’m really getting excited about this event. I’ve been prepping for this for quite some time, so you can expect it to be good. :)
For those of you not able to attend, there’s still time to get photos this month. I know the weather is rainy and gross, but don’t forget I travel! I can come to you with a portable studio, and we can shoot indoors – with or without a backdrop. I do it all! Is it someone’s birthday soon? Did you have a new baby? Has your child reached a new milestone? Call me right away so we can capture these memories.
