Fun at the laundromat...

and no, I'm not actually talking about doing laundry. I met J and his mom for a great shoot that included a stop at a laundromat. This is, by far, the best way to fill up a laundry basket!

Father's Day Mini-Session

Here comes the sun! Well, hopefully at least!! We’re going to chance it and schedule a mini-session shoot just in time for Father’s Day (details below). You know that he loves pictures of the family, so give him a wonderful gift - a picture of the dearest people in his life. He can be in it if you’d like… or you can have a picture taken of the rest of the family so it’s a complete surprise on Father’s Day. Don’t worry – we can keep a secret!! (Pssst – you can schedule with us even if you’re a Dad – why not give yourself a gift?) =)

On Sunday, May 31, meet us at Pine Lake Park in Sammamish for a 20 minute photo session. For $75 (+ tax), you’ll get a 20 minute sitting, one framed 5x7 (and yep – we can even wrap it too) and three digital images (with non-commercial reproduction rights), all in time for Father’s Day! Rain will send us inside to the studio – there are wonderful images to be taken there too. Call (425.761.4760) or email (melanie@just-because.com) to schedule.

Another game, another freebie!

What is this? The first person to correctly guess (send email to melanie@just-because.com) will win a free sitting and two free 8X10s! Answer to be posted after the win!

All aboard!

I had a ton of fun last Saturday at the Issaquah Train Depot with this newly-expanded family. It was a gorgeous day and the flowers were blooming. Oh yeah, and of course we had those cool tracks to shoot on too!
