Seattle Portrait Photography – Celebrating 10 Years

Seattle photographer Lara Grauer is proud to share that August 2016 officially marks 10 years of independent business at Lara Grauer PhotographyIn 2006, a friend asked me to photograph her wedding. I was still using film at that point, so it was a significant moment for me. Ultimately, I decided to buy a digital camera, say yes to the wedding, and get my business license. The rest is history, and what a ride it’s been!

To commemorate this moment, I want to share some photos from my years providing Seattle portrait photography and the many enjoyable photoshoots associated. I have so much gratitude for all of my Seattle photography clients, friends, and colleagues who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing over the years. Thank you so much for all of your love and support!
