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

    NOW SERVING SEATTLE, 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.

    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!

YMCA MOTHER’S DAY TEA PARTY

Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!  ~Albert Einstein

What a lovely day to spend my time at the Snoqualmie YMCA for their Mother’s Day Tea Party! I enjoyed capturing the families as they made crafts and bask in the glorious evening sun….made me miss my afternoon teas with my girl friends in Hong Kong!

Have a look at the photos below! I sincerely thank the beautiful families and Y staff for organizing and making me a part of this event!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful moms! xoxo

Sneak Peek: AVA, 13 DAYS OLD / Snoqualmie Seattle Newborn Baby Photographer

“A baby girl… one of the most beautiful miracles in life, one of the greatest joys we can ever know, and one of the reasons why there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in your world today.”

–Author Unknown

This precious little girl breezed through our session in less than two hours! I normally do my newborn session around 3-4 hours, and she just slept through even during her most complicated posesSneak Peek: AVA, 13 DAYS OLD  /  Snoqualmie Seattle Newborn Baby PhotographerI love capturing her and her little umbilical cord that was yet to fall off. Little details like that are meant to be captured as babies grow so fast!

Congratulations to the wonderful G family and I’m very grateful and honored to be Ava Grace’s first photographer!
