CATIE CLEVELAND PHOTOGRAPHY

Ellie had her senior photos photographed at her grandparents coastal home on Bainbridge Island, WA. We took her senior portraits at the beach there and also used the woods behind their Crystal Springs home as a backdrop. Ellie is charismatic and a joy to be around! She also brought the coolest prop with her, Taylor’s Swift’s black hat that she personally handed to Ellie at a concert. When Ellie had it on you can’t help but see a little resemblance to the pop star!
Jamie and Spencer were married in Spencer’s parent’s backyard on Bainbridge Island. They created a little wonderland with lights and globes and lots of thoughtful details. They even brewed all their own beer and cider for the big day! Their wedding was magical and I felt very honored to be their photographer. I especially loved their sense of humor, check out the pitch fork (yes they are photoshopped in) photo!
There are so many amazing places on Bainbridge Island and the surrounding communities to have photographs taken and Fay Bainbridge has to be one of the best. From the sea grass and driftwood to the soft way light falls there at the end of the day, it’s pretty close to perfect. I suppose that is why it has been my most requested location. It reminds me of a beach in Virginia Beach where I used to photograph the majority of my portrait sessions for six years while we lived there. Sometimes it would feel a little redunant, but then I would think how amazing is it that this is my office! Below is the Weingaertner family who visit Bainbridge from Singapore every year. They were such a joy to work with! Check out third photos down of the behind the scenes of how to get a babies attention during a photo shoot. :)
