Lorraine Marie Photography | Modern Portraits for the Seattle Eastside bio picture
  • I once heard it said that "...our achievements grow according to the size of our dreams and the degree to which we are aware of our destiny." I like that…a lot. Five years ago my dreams were small - but as time has gone on, and the awareness of my destiny continues to unfold before me, my dreams are beginning to soar!

    I am not just a photographer – consider me a friend who is here to create motivation and opportunity for you to express your life to the fullest with those you love; moments caught to remember and celebrate.

    Life tells every story…once. Let me help you to start telling your story today!

Website and Blog Facelift

Well, it’s that time again for an “out with the old, in with the new” facelift for our website, blog and even logo.  For a long time, I have wanted to bring everything we do under one virtual roof – our portrait work that includes high school seniors, families, couples and grandparents, as well as our wedding photography. I have to say, I love the new look!  It’s clean, fresh and modern, and everything you want to see can now be found at our main website address:  LorraineMarie.com So if you haven’t had a chance to check out the new look, I hope you take a moment to stop by…and let me know what you think!  All our new work and blog posts will be kept here, as this blog is now just a part of Lorraine Marie history.  Here’s a link to just the blog portion of our new site: Lorraine’s Blog

{BeLoved} – Seattle Portrait Sessions for Couples in Love

A few weeks ago, we unveiled our new BeLoved portrait sessions for couples that love each other, and want to set aside time to have their interactions captured in a beautiful and meaningful way.  It really doesn’t matter what stage of life your relationship is in – newly engaged to 50+ years of marriage, we all can benefit from a session focused on bringing the best out in our partner, being intentional in our interactions and renewing the bonds between us.  And it can be so fun! That’s why I was so excited to meet with Whitney and Jackson over the weekend. Whitney and Jackson are just starting out on their journey through life together (okay, means that they are engaged to be married!), and there was no holding these two back from sharing the joy, friendship, laughter and love their relationship contains.  Just look at these pictures of love and see if you don’t agree!

 

Seattle Senior Pictures for the Class of 2012

If you’re a follower of mine on Facebook (and if you aren’t yet, I hope you join us!), you’ve already been introduced to these fabulous faces of the first of our senior model reps for the Class of 2012.  Juniors – has it hit you yet that in just a few short months, you will be the seniors ready to rule the school?  Trust me when I say that these days will fly by quickly, and before you know it, it’s time to make plans for summer and choose who you want to be your senior photographer.  It’s an important decision – and it can be confusing!  That is why we at Lorraine Marie Photography take the time to talk with each senior who calls or contacts us, so that we can help you explore what you want most out of your senior portrait experience, and how we can best provide those stunning images you’ve always wanted.  Not only have we mastered the art of available light photography, but because Gabriel ( my husband, business partner and best friend) and I work as a team, we can bring other lighting options to give you variety in your senior pics.

Having been a senior portrait photographer in the Seattle area for more than six years has given me the knowledge of what seniors what, the lowdown on some pretty awesome locations (if you’re stuck on where to go), and the ability to relax with you and make your session completely fun, spontaneous and enjoyable – while helping you to look your best and be your truest self.  After all, isn’t that what we all want?

So it’s my pleasure to introduce you to some brilliant seniors from the Class of 2012, who are representing Lorraine Marie Photography to their friends and social circle.  If you want to join them and become a rep yourself, there’s still a tiny bit of time to join our team, so visit this page for more info:  Senior Rep Program.  If you’re ready to get more information on how you can start to plan your own senior photo session, feel free to leave a comment below or send us an email to Lorraine Marie Photography.

Kaitlin’s Best Senior Photos at the Kirkland Waterfront Marina Park

There are some people whose smile can brighten a room, and Kaitlin is definitely one of those people!  It’s hard to catch her without a smile as that is just part of who she is.  Kaitlin’s senior photo session was very relaxed and fun as we walked around downtown Kirkland to some of my favorite spots – the stone wall near Heritage Hall, the waterfront, and the marina.  Here are some of the best photos (and Kaitlin’s favorites!) from her senior session.

Best of Tolbert Wedding Photos at Willows Lodge, Woodinville

It was a beautiful and intimate setting for Erin and Alex’s wedding day at Willows Lodge in Woodinville.  Every detail was executed to perfection: from the beauty of the flowers and decor, a wedding ring so exquisite and charming, a bride that was glowing and a groom that couldn’t be happier!  Erin and Alex were blessed to be surrounded by two wonderful families and supportive friends who are committed to seeing their marriage grow in love.  It wasn’t easy getting everyone together due to the recent winter storms over the nation, but all the guests (and the bride and groom!) made it and the day went off just as planned…perfectly!
