Holly & Henry – Pet Photography

Posted: April 26th, 2010 | Author: Lara | Filed under: Pet Photography | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

Meet Holly. She’s the most enthusiastic ball-fetcher I’ve ever met. She would play fetch until she dropped dead if you let her!

Now meet Holly’s little brother. His name is Henry. Henry likes to carry things around in his mouth, and he especially likes to taunt his big sister by stealing her ball.

These two are quite the pair! And being siblings, no matter how much they drive each other bonkers, they still love each other. Aren’t they sweet?

And Some Summer Fun – Lara Grauer Photography

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.

My taste of winter for the year

Posted: March 6th, 2010 | Author: Lara | Filed under: Client Sessions | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

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.

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.

The meaning of FUN!

I just finished working on this collage for my brother’s family. I love this collection so much because it really shows what it means to have fun! These images are so full of love and life, it makes me want to go back to Iowa City NOW so I can hang out with these guys again! If you’re looking for ways to brighten your mood, spend some time with this piece. These kids’ passion for living is contagious…

FUN!
