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.

Competition Winner – Lara Grauer Photography

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

You Do?

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.

Perfect Day, Awesome Family – Seattle Family Photographer

Posted: October 17th, 2009 | Author: Lara | Filed under: Client Sessions, on-location | Tags: , | No Comments »

These were taken on a gorgeous day just two short weeks ago. We got so lucky with just the perfect amount of cloud cover. The air was a tad bit chilly, but for October, it was pretty awesome. Perhaps you recognize the baby – the new addition I got to photograph over the summer when he was 10 days old. He’s not such a tiny bundle anymore, but he’s still darn cute! And so is his big sister, of course. I’ve been looking forward to photographing this family for a long time, and I’m thrilled that it went so well.

Sweet Sisters – Seattle Child Photographer

These girls are so fun! We had the best time making little “flip books” with my quick release shutter – they would act out little scenes and then watch them on the back of my camera.

Wall Portrait – Action Shot!

Posted: August 30th, 2009 | Author: Lara | Filed under: character study, on-location | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

This one of my boy is headed for the wall in his room. He’s a wild child, active and moving during most of his waking hours. He likes to go big, and he enjoys making people laugh. This action shot really captures his free spirit, and he’s wearing his favorite color, so what better choice for wall decor? Seeing that it’s going over his bed on a large open wall, I’m thinking 24×36 or so. Time to get out the tape measure!

Jump! Jump!


Another Amana Adventure

This family is so great – creative, enthusiastic, agreeable – all the things I could ask for. We had a fun time walking around the lily lake in Amana.

Stopped in Amana, Iowa – Childrens’ Portraits

Posted: August 6th, 2009 | Author: Lara | Filed under: Client Sessions, Uncategorized, on-location, siblings, travel | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

I love these kids to death. I got to hang out with them for a few hours last weekend in Iowa, and what a treat! They had loads of fun and Mom even dressed them up in their formal clothes from a wedding they were in last month, which means I had as much fun playing as they did! It’s amazing how much these two kids have changed – and stayed the same.
