Article About M. Larson Photography

This week, my friend and colleague Bob McGowan at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography (where I completed my training in photography) wrote an Alumni Feature about me, my small business in Ballard, and my newborn and maternity portrait work. 

The article is aimed at other photographers and prospective students at the school but all the images used are mine, including the self-portrait head shot (and boy, that was not easy to take!)

Best of 2011 Contest is ON!

Last year, I had a Best of 2010 contest on my M. Larson Photography Facebook Page and it was such a hit that I decided to do it every year.  This year's contest begins now and runs through February 10th!

Also, I would like to say a huge "Thank you!" to all of my clients, past and present, even though every session can't make it into the contest.  You and your kids made my year so much fun and so rewarding.  Thank you! I am very proud of all my portraits which are so special to each and every one of my families.

It's always hard to choose just a few (29) out of the thousands of images I take every year.  Sometimes, my favorite images from a session aren't the same as my clients' favorite images.  So this one is just for me - artist's choice - and I have my reasons for picking each one!  Usually, I choose things on the artsier end of the spectrum.

Looking through them will give you a good glimpse of what I was really digging in 2011.  There were more bright colors this year and lots of fun bigger kids as well.  Toddlers are always enjoyable to photograph and really keep me on my toes!

If you'd like to see all the images, or participate, head on over to the Facebook Page, become a fan, and "Like" your favorite images.
