A New Beginning | Photography, Sammamish WA

Oh my - oh my, how time has flown. It has been almost a year since I wrote in the blog. Life has been busy.

My family and I relocated to Seattle WA - or to be more exact Sammamish WA - in September last year. Prior to that we had 3 busy months of researching if we should move, making the decision and then getting the ball rolling. An avalanche followed: selling our house, buying a house, moving our belongings including 2 cars and the list goes on.

My first priority is and always will be my family, so I took some time off from the Photography business to get everybody settled into our new home and to make our house a cozy place for us. 

We are now settled and very happy in this beautiful part of the world. The Pacific Northwest has so much to offer and we have so many places to explore and discover, it is so exciting. Life is good. I look forward to sharing our journey.

I have now registered Katja Wright Photography LLC in Washington and I'm getting the business back on track. Hopefully I'll have some new clients soon and I'll be able to share some moments from their sessions.

For now, you'll have to be happy with some 'Easter-egg-colouring-fun' with my son! We did this a year ago and I just took a look at the old pictures - what a difference a year makes. My "little" man looks so grown up now! It's all just going by way too fast.

So, just as Easter is the story of new beginnings, I see this time as a new beginning for my family as well as my company.

Every story has an ending.

But in life, every ending has a new beginning.

Caitlin's Prom Pictures | Senior Photography, Suwanee GA

May 4, 2013 was the B-I-G day - Prom Day for my sweet friend Caitlin! She asked me to take pictures of her and a few of her friends before they went off to party the night away. 

We had planned to take the pictures outdoors, with a beautiful spring backdrop. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us.....at......all. It poured the entire day! 

I felt so bad for all these beautiful ladies (and man), who had such stunning dresses and their hair and make-up done; they were just unbelievably gorgeous!

We managed to take some shots on a small covered balcony (while the rain was still coming down) and then took the rest indoors at a friend's home. 

I'm so glad I got a few nice pictures of Caitlin with her Daddy and her siblings!

I hope you all had a fantastic night and congratulations on your graduation this week - the world is your oyster! May the future be bright and filled with all things good! 

Your Day Has Arrived

Graduation day is finally here,
And so now ends your high school career.
Always remember the friends you hold dear,
And look toward your future without any fear.

This is the day you've been preparing for
Since the day you walked through that first classroom door.
Now it is time to say good-bye,
And spread your wings - you're ready to fly.

So shed a tear and share a smile,
And be sure to remember all the while,
That although it may now be time to move on,
Today's memories will last your whole life long.

All the best to the class of 2013!

Wallace Family Pictures | Family Photography, Suwanee GA

A few weeks ago I met up with my friends, the Wallace Family at Sims Lake Park to take family pictures.

Mason & Chase are two adorable fire crackers, who kept me on my toes - they are just too funny for words and although they were probably done 10 minutes into our session, we managed to capture some wonderful memories for this family.

Thanks Wallace Family - I hope you had fun and that you'll enjoy these images for years to come!
