Welcome to my Heather Culley Photography & Design {the blog}. I am an on location photographer in the Seattle area who photographs everything from newborns to couples and families. I have a relaxed, natural style of photography that will hopefully make your session with me a lot of fun. To see my portfolio of work and my pricing, please check out my website: www.heatherculleyphotodesign.com. You can also follow me on facebook and twitter by using the links on the right.
This year, I had the opportunity to take the family portraits for our church’s photo directory. It was a lot of fun to show the families that studio photography does not have to be sit, put your feet on the x, hands here, and smile. I brought my new green couch and used more organic posing to give a more modern studio look to the photos.
Here is our photo for the directory.
This summer, I recieved an email from a couple who had found me on the internet. They had been married the previous fall and were not happy with the wedding photos they had gotten. They were so unhappy with those photos, they did not print any of them. So this summer, they decided to get dresssed up again and have bride and groom shots taken, so they would at least have some photos they were happy with to remind them of their special day.
We had so much fun walking around downtown Snohomish and using some great walls and locations. Corinne and Tommy are a great couple, and I am glad they were able to get some photos to give them happy memories of their wedding day.
My daughter Mattea, turned two and a half right before her brother was born. We moved about six weeks after Wyatt was born, so getting photos of Mattea didn’t happen until after the move. One summer day, we were able to spend some time in our new back yard taking some photos. We then moved into the house to the studio set up to get a few more fun and artistic photos. It is amazing how quickly she is growing up.
These photos are ones I had been wanting to get for awhile. I had seen some beautiful photos that another photographer had taken with an older girl and a scarf wrapped around her head. I wanted to see what I could come up with using one of my scarves and Mattea. I wanted to use more dramatic lighting, and I am really happy with what we got.
Wow, does time fly. I cannot believe how quickly my little guy is growing. He is eight months old now, but since I am so far behind, I have to share his three month photos still 
When we took these photos he had so many different expressions on his face. I love capturing facial expressions during three month photos, as babies have really started to become expressive at this stage.
I had the fun opportunity to photograph Megan on her Grandmother’s farm in Arlington. What a fun place to do a senior photo session, especially since it meant so much to the family. I love photographing at locations that mean a lot to my clients… it is so much fun to be able to capture emotions that are tied to the place they are in.
This location was so much fun, from a great field, to an awesome barn and other outbuildings, to a great mini orchard.
