Goerlich Family | Mysterious & Beautiful | St Edwards Park

:: The Goerlich Family ::

Not your typical family shoot. Let me start with what an awesome, loving family this is! They share my love for adventure, exploring and art. It was so much fun and an unusual opprotunity to think outside the box for this family session. 

They wanted something unique, dark, mysterious and beautiful.

This has to be my top favorite session from the year 2012.

I love creating art through photography, I love shooting editorials.

But something about working with a family that wants to tell a story through images...

a family that deeply loves each other...

and isn't afraid to be unique

Is something that is truly amazing.

We selected the stunning backdrop of St. Edwards Park for the perfect yet eerie backdrop to this "dark, hint of vampire" themed family session.

 

Isn't she stunning!? An elegant Queen surrounded by the men who love her (husband and sons). Love it.

Aren't reflections fun!? I recently went back to St. Edwards Park after a heavy rain storm and captured these reflections from a deep puddle.

 And again to the Goerlich family, I am so thankful for your friendship and family!

We finished up the session with a mini modeling photo session with oldest son Michael (see his images here).

I can't wait for the next chance to photograph a unique family session, please contact me if your family might be interested in your own UNIQUE session!

Michael | Signature | Photo Session

:: Michael ::

 

Mr. GQ? If looks could kill, I might just be dead... or at least my camera.

This guy has "blue steel" down. ;)

I'm thinking he should quit his day job and pursue modeling.

Thank you Toni for a great photo session and being so ridiculously photogenic I even couldn't pick a single favorite from the session.

Um hello, stop already!? Ridiculously photogenic guy, yes. I warned you! ;) 

See more images from his families UNIQUE photo session "here".

Thank you!!

the Branch family | Edmonds Childrens Photographer

:: The Branch family ::

 Our session started in my home studio with this little sweetheart, she is celebrating her 1st birthday this month! With those pretty brown eyes and long lashes she is going to be a daddy's girl for sure. ;)

 We headed down to the beach for the other half of our session.. it was a beautiful chilly fall day. I love the bare white branches of the trees behind them in these images, so fitting for "the Branch Family". ;) 

Merry Christmas Branch family, thank you for a fun session!!

Solomon | Edmonds Family Photographer

:: Solomon ::

 Our session started off with a few raindrops but really is anything in this world cuter than a little boy holding his favorite umbrella wearing a tweed suit!?

 This little guy is adorable. 

 

  I'm so thankful for the opportunity to photograph this sweet family and capture the love they have for each other. Thank you for a fun session and for playing in the rain with me C&H! :)

 

  Beautiful.

USB Flash Mini | Photography Packaging

:: Simple & Green :: 

If you purchase a package from Hurzeler Photography that includes your digital images + print release you will now receive a mini USB flash thumb drive. It's small, simple and up-to-date! 

No more scratched disc's or problems for Mac users who don't have a CD drive. Simple, problem solved, and pretty dang cute too!

After much research we decided to make the change and upgrade to the mini flash drives, eventually these will be replaced with our own version with our logo on them. They are a simple plug in & open files just like a disc. They are super easy to use and bring with you to share your beautiful photos.

Our new packaging is simple, inspired by nature and all things green & beautiful in the Emerald City.

Besides, my favorite color is green.. and I love all that pretty green that grows everywhere! ;)

Enjoy and a big thank you to our all clients!!
