What a better way to start your day than with a little Mad Men!? Lisa & her family used that fabulous little show as the inspiration behind the styling and feel of their family shoot with us. The 1960's was a unique and fascinating time for fashion. I love the pencil skirts and pouf-style dresses from that era... they look so elegant and feminine. And those dapper three piece suits and sexy hats for the guys?! oh my, make me melt!
I love it when people take the initiative and want to do something a little different for their sessions. It was one of the many reasons the Dunham family was so fun to photograph! We romped around little nooks and crannies of downtown Seattle in an area I had never shot before and the light was tasty-beautiful. Lisa is a stellar photographer out of Tulsa, who also shot our wedding, and was visiting some friends in Seattle. She said that the three of them hadn't ever had any photos together! So we definitely had to change that for them and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
Also, there are quite a few things that are still on the "blog-dock" if you haven't seen your shoot/wedding/session... it is coming... and it will be well worth the wait :)

How fun are these! Great job Sarah! It helps that the family did a fabulous job with the styling! Love the hats.
Sarah & Chris - I'm sure it's not appropriate or polite to comment on our own session but.... WE LOVE THESE IMAGES! I became a photog partly so I could always be behind the camera and NEVER in front of it. I just knew I wanted you two to shoot us b/c you would "get" us. You so did. You two were wonderful and we had a great time with you in downtown Seattle. Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful piece of our lives to have forever. Kate thinks she's darling (ok, she is) and I'm afraid Jay's head might get too big for his hat! Thanks again and many blessings to you both!
great session! it looks like you all had a lot of fun!
I heart these shots!
Love the feel of this shoot.
I love their style! Especially the Dick Tracy-esque dad! Awesome photos!
Awesome session! Love the creativity of the family and your skills to capture their vision. You also captured so many sweet moments with the family - great work!
