Picture this: a vibrant greenhouse nestled in the heart of Seattle, the air filled with the intoxicating scent of exotic flowers and the soft humming of nature. The scene is set for an elopement like no other, one that combines the freshness of blooming love with the thrill of the open road. This is not your typical bridal story, but then again, who wants typical when you can have unique?
&nbsp;
Our couple, both avid motorcycle enthusiasts, decided to shrug off the traditional wedding playbook and instead celebrate their love in a setting that truly reflected their personalities. The Seattle Greenhouse, with its lush greenery and vibrant colors, provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate ceremony. The couple exchanged their vows amidst a symphony of blooming orchids, charming succulents, and rare tropical plants, their heartfelt words echoing in the tranquil serenity of the greenhouse.
&nbsp;
The bride, looking ethereal in a bohemian lace gown, arrived on a sleek, black motorcycle. The contrast of the delicate lace against the rugged leather and the gleaming chrome was a sight to behold. The groom, donning a dapper suit, eagerly awaited her arrival, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, love, and a hint of mischief.

In the heart of Washington state, nestled between towering pines and the whispers of nature, stood a rustic cabin that served as the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable cosplay photoshoot. This was no ordinary photoshoot; it was a unique celebration of the 2019 movie adaptation of Little Women, a timeless tale that continues to resonate with audiences irrespective of the decade.
&nbsp;
The story of Little Women is one that transcends time, featuring character archetypes that are not bound by the era they were conceived in. Each of the March sisters - Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy - represents a unique facet of womanhood, and their collective journey of growth, love, and self-discovery has touched hearts for generations. Their archetypes, so beautifully portrayed in the movie, were brought to life once again in this cosplay photoshoot.
&nbsp;
Firstly, there&rsquo;s Jo, the spirited and fiercely independent aspiring writer who never conforms to societal expectations. Her cosplay adopted her signature look - a simple frock, hair tied back, a pen and notepad in hand. Jo's character is one that inspires many, particularly those who value their individuality and are not afraid to defy norms.
&nbsp;
Next, we have Meg, the eldest and the epitome of grace and kindness. She is a testament to the traditional feminine ideal, yet she also embodies the struggle to balance personal desires with societal pressures. The cosplay for Meg was one of elegance, reflecting her refined and gentle nature.
&nbsp;
Beth, the third sister, is the embodiment of selflessness and purity. Her cosplay reflected her angelic and nurturing spirit. Even in our modern world, Beth's kindness and self-effacing personality echo a universal appeal.
&nbsp;
Lastly, there's Amy, the youngest and most vibrant of the March sisters. Her cosplay was a riot of colors, mirroring her artistic aspirations and brimming optimism. Amy's character is a reminder of the bright, ambitious, and sometimes impulsive nature of youth.

The rustic cabin in Washington served as a beautiful echo of the March family home, adding authenticity and depth to the cosplay shoot. The props and costumes were meticulously curated, capturing the essence of each character and the period they belonged to.
&nbsp;
This cosplay photoshoot was more than just a recreation of a beloved story. It was a testament to the enduring appeal of Little Women and its characters. The archetypes of the March sisters, despite being born in a different era, are relatable because they touch upon universal themes of love, family, ambition, and self-identity. No matter the decade, the story of Little Women continues to inspire and resonate, proving that truly great stories are indeed timeless.

Hello there, lovely families! Fall is upon us, and it's the perfect season for family photoshoots at the gorgeous Kubota Gardens here in Seattle. I want to share some simple tips on how to choose the perfect outfit for your fall family photos.
&nbsp;
1. Dressing cohesively is key
Now, this doesn't mean you all have to wear the same exact outfit. Instead, choose a color scheme that complements each other. Think of colors that are in the same family or ones that pair well together, like different shades of blue paired with neutral colors, or a mix of autumnal hues like burgundy, mustard yellow, and olive green.
&nbsp;
2. Consider the beautiful backdrop of Kubota Gardens
The garden is a riot of colors during fall, so it's important to pick colors that won't clash with the scenery. Earth tones are always a safe bet as they blend seamlessly with the autumnal foliage. However, don't shy away from a pop of color! A vibrant scarf or a bright hat can add that extra oomph to your photos.
&nbsp;
3. When it comes to kids, comfort is crucial
We want them to be at ease and happy during the photoshoot. So, opt for cozy knits, comfortable jeans or leggings, and shoes they can easily walk in. A little bit of pattern like plaid or floral can add a lovely touch to their outfits too.

4. For the adults, think layers.
Not only do they add depth and interest to your outfit, but they also allow you to adjust to the often unpredictable fall weather. A nice sweater over a collared shirt, a chic long coat, or a fashionable hat can do wonders for your overall look.
&nbsp;
5. Don't forget the accessories!
They add personality and can bring an outfit together. Think statement jewelry, cute hair clips for the little ones, or a stylish watch for dad.
&nbsp;
Remember, these are just guidelines. Your family's comfort and personal style should always take precedence. After all, the goal is to create memories and have fun while doing it. Can't wait to see you all at Kubota Gardens this fall, looking fabulous and ready to create beautiful family portraits!

I'm All About Fun
My photoshoots are all about creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience. I firmly believe that genuine smiles are captured when you're having fun. I understand the challenges of getting those authentic moments from the little ones, so I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Run to your parents
One of my favorite prompts is telling kids to run to their parents. I love the perspective of their parents holding their arms out waiting to have their children run to them. The focus of this photo is showcasing parents' love for their kids while giving children something physical to do.
Tell Your Brother a Silly Secret
Asking siblings to whisper silly secrets to each other is a surefire way to get them giggling and interacting naturally. These candid moments are pure gold for the family album.

It was a day like no other, as the beloved characters from the magical world of Narnia came to life in a cosplay photoshoot, hosted by Seattle cosplayers. The enchanting world, created by C.S. Lewis, was recreated with incredible attention to detail and an undeniable passion for storytelling. Each participant put their heart and soul into embodying their chosen character, and the result was nothing short of breathtaking.
&nbsp;
Stepping into the shoes of the logical and level-headed Susan, was the talented <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cosmic.reys.cosplay/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@cosmic.reys.cosplay</a>. Her portrayal was as close to the real Susan as it could get - wise beyond her years and carrying the weight of responsibility with grace. The attention to detail in her costume, from the elegant horn to the intricate attire, was a testament to her dedication.
&nbsp;
Lucy, the youngest and most faithful of the Pevensie siblings, was brought to life by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/live_1000_lives/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@live_1000_lives</a>. Her portrayal of Lucy was filled with the innocence and unwavering belief that defines the character. The radiant smile, the spark of curiosity in her eyes, and the famous bottle of healing cordial captured the essence of Lucy perfectly.
&nbsp;
The transformation of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/houseofpagesandstories/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@houseofpagesandstories</a> into Edmund was nothing short of remarkable. He flawlessly captured Edmund's complex character arc - from a young boy swayed by the White Witch's promises to a truly repentant, brave young king. His brooding looks and troubled expressions added depth to the character.
&nbsp;
The role of the cold White Witch was masterfully portrayed by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shakespeareandme/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@shakespeareandme</a>. Her icy gaze, coupled with her stunningly white attire and frosty crown, sent chills down the spine. She perfectly brought out the allure and danger that makes the White Witch such a compelling villain.

Lastly, the brave and noble Peter was represented by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ourshieldmaiden/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@ourshieldmaiden</a>. His courageous demeanor, combined with the regal attire of a Narnian king, brought the High King Peter the Magnificent to life. His shining shield and sword were as much a part of him as his kingly air and brave heart.

The setting was a beautifully decorated home in Seattle, reflecting the in-home aspect of Modwella's services. The light streamed in through the windows, casting a soft glow on everything. It was an ideal setting to capture the essence of the brand &ndash; warm, inviting, and tranquil.
&nbsp;
The session began with photographing the Modwella team preparing for a special event &ndash; a bridal shower. The team was not just providing services, but they were creating an environment of relaxation and rejuvenation. From the glasses of wine to individualized IVs for each person's needs. The photographs showcased not just the services, but also the care and dedication the team puts into ensuring a memorable experience for their clients. These medical professionals don't administer the IVs and walk away. They stay with their clients and make sure they're there to answer any questions and continuously check on their progress.

Modwella is not just a brand; it's a lifestyle. It brings health and wellness services directly to your doorstep, eliminating the need for travel and allowing for the ultimate convenience. It caters to an audience that values their time, health, and wellness.

As the day unfolded, I was able to capture a series of images that told a story. A story of a brand that goes beyond providing a service. Modwella is about creating experiences, promoting a healthier lifestyle, and making wellness accessible to everyone.
&nbsp;
The images from the branding session will serve as a visual narrative of what Modwella represents &ndash; health, wellness, convenience, and a personalized touch. I hope these images inspire others to explore the benefits of in-home health and wellness services and see the potential for turning any event into a memorable wellness experience.
