Lorraine Marie Photography | Modern Portraits for the Seattle Eastside bio picture
  • Welcome to My Photojournal!

    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 – I am a friend who is here to create motivation and opportunity for you to express your life to the fullest with those you love, capturing those moments for you to treasure for a lifetime to come.

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

Molly Miller – A Perfect Smile from Lorraine Varela on Vimeo.

Molly was just 17 years old when a horrible soccer accident left her without her two front teeth. Ouch! Thankfully, she had Dr. Dave Richardson from Kirkland Dentistry to take care of her and restore her smile back to perfection.

Jessica - Wow, that is AMAZING how we have dentists today that can do that! Her smile is beautiful! :)

wedding albums. ~lorraine marie, seattle wedding photography

I love it when our wedding couples end up with a beautifully designed wedding album.  As much as couples have good intentions to use those image disks and be creative, it can’t compare to the richness and beauty and lasting quality of a well-designed and professionally constructed wedding album.  We are so happy to work with the best wedding manufacturers around.  In fact, we scoured the globe to make sure we deal only with the best!

So here are a few examples of the latest album that we were so proud to deliver.  Charity and Paul chose our Classic Album for their wedding memories, with matching parent albums as gifts.

I loved that these new matching parent albums not only include the same beautiful leather and image covers, but also the fun flip-out pages that we include as part of the design.

The page are bound with special corners and edging to prevent damage and preserve the album for years to come.

A peek at one of the inside spreads.

While there is a lot to consider when planning a wedding, I can guarantee that investing in a quality wedding album is a decision you’ll never regret!

Acacia - And you can’t get higher quality than with Lorraine. She not only takes great pictures, but she cares about the people in them. :) Another beautiful job!

Lorraine Marie - Awww, thanks Acacia! I appreciate your comments and honestly do care about each person I have the privilege of photographing.

portland getaway. ~lorraine marie, portrait photographer on the seattle eastside

Over Memorial Day we could have gone on a camping trip with friends, but Gabriel and I opted out of that invitation for one just a little more appealing – a spontaneous getaway to the city of Portland with our new college graduate, Ashley. I can still be spontaneous, as long as I have a little time to plan!

Ashley’s goal was to visit her dream store – Powell’s Books, that boasts an inventory of a million books housed in a store that covers one city block.  Yes, that smile on her face is real!

Of course, to insure that she spent as much time as she liked at this new hot spot, Ashley made certain that our hotel was right around the corner.  She did a superb job, as she found the most pet-friendly place I’ve ever visited:  The Mark Spencer Hotel.  Not just pet-friendly, they had entire suites set aside for guests traveling with their four-legged friends.  Madeline was given the special treatment as well, as shown on the visitor board at the front desk. We were welcomed in style and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!

Madeline loved the view from our hotel room.

Thankfully the time we were there was beautiful and dry…

Courtney - These are so beautiful! You have an eye for beauty and capture it very well!

Lorraine Marie - Thanks for the compliment, Courtney – that’s very kind! I’m glad you found me. :) Blessings!
