Seattle Music Photography, Hills of Elysium, Dirtie Bird Photography, Marika Garland

 My sister is a very talented musician.  So is her boyfriend.  They love each other enough to be able to not only live in the same house as one another, but also be in a band together, and live in the house with their band.  I think that that is pretty awesome.  I've been their band (Hills of Elysium) photographer since they first started out, which was also the same time I started shooting music portraiture. 
We had a new shoot in my new studio back in April, and I have yet to share my favorite images here on the blog.  I'm much better with my images, than with words, so I'll get to the point, and show you my favorites from the April 2011 Hills of Elysium studio shoot.  :)

Portrait of a woman. Skagit County Portrait photographer, mount vernon photographer, anacortes photographer

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  I woke up around 6:30 in the morning to let my dogs outside, and it was already warm.  I love the sun.  I spent most of the day hanging with my dogs, and getting ready for an afternoon shoot at a friend's house a couple of blocks away.  My friend, Megan, is a beautiful woman, she has awesome style, and her house is amazing.  It was the perfect recipe for a glorious photo shoot.  Here are just a few of my favorite images from yesterday...

















I love my job.  It pretty much kicks ass.  :)
