Seattle Washington Baby, Newborn, Maternity, Family Photographer bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    NOW SERVING SNOQUALMIE, NORTH BEND, FALLS CITY, ISSAQUAH AND KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON!

    I'm Michelle Garthe, originally from Washington DC, and now living in Snoqualmie, Washington. I've been a professional singer and actress for 20 years until one day I've decided to explore another form of self expression- photography.

    This blog is conceived in 2009. You may check my old blog by clicking the Old Blog menu button.

    Everyone needs a place of respite from daily living and this blog is mine. I have no real objective other than to share not just my experience with my recent photo sessions, but a little piece of myself and my observation of the world around me.

    Feel free to browse around and if you really want to make my day, leave me a comment! I love to hear from you!

    Thank you very much for stopping by!

MEET THE PARENTS / Seattle Washington Photographer

I should have posted this a while back, but life got in the way especially with the birth of my little boy. Nevertheless I’d like to post these photos of my parents who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary (January 15th).

They visited Washington state from Vegas to help out a weakling of a new mom of two (moi!). I thank them very much for everything! In that regard, I’m presenting you with their photos taken at Chateau Ste Michelle.

Love you Mommy Sonia and Daddy Rusty!

EVELYN, 13 DAYS OLD / Seattle Washington Newborn Photographer

It’s not only children who grow.  Parents do too.  As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.  I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun.  All I can do is reach for it, myself.
