ABOUT ME
Hey there, I’m Claire!
I’m a senior portrait photographer based in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley. I totally get how special this area is because I grew up here! I’m a Mount Si High School grad myself, so I’ve spent years exploring every corner and finding the perfect photo spots. While Snoqualmie Valley is home, I know beautiful spots all throughout King County, with my work often bringing me to Bellevue, Seattle and beyond.
​
Senior and grad portraits are my longtime specialty. There’s something so meaningful about capturing people at this exciting, transitional time in life. Lately, I’ve very much fallen in love with photographing couples as well. While I take a variety of session types, I don’t shoot weddings or events.
I truly admire the beauty of the world/nature as well as the beauty of people, thus photography is perfect for me as it lets me create art out of these two things. I'm a huge believer in preserving memories, so I love knowing that I provide clients with pictures that'll be cherished for a lifetime!
​
I would say my style is a mix of modern yet natural- I love focusing on colors and fun backgrounds while still allowing the subject to look and feel natural. I like for my photos to be a vibe rather than just a person in front of a background. Each image is a work of art to me.
​
If you’re worried about feeling awkward or not knowing how to pose, don’t be! I’ve got you. My goal is to help you feel confident, comfortable, and totally yourself every step of the way.​
Let’s make some magic together!​​
WHAT I DO
While you're welcome to inquire for any non-event related portraits, these are my specialties! More detailed information about all types of shoots can be seen under the "Session Information" page.
SENIOR PICTURES
I’ve been working almost exclusively with high school seniors for nearly a decade. As a 2018 grad myself, I know just how fast this season flies by. Senior year feels like a lifetime ago, and I’ve learned firsthand how priceless it is to have photos that capture this stage of your life.
My senior sessions are designed to feel fun, easy, and totally you. They include custom locations, multiple outfits, and you get to choose the photos you want! I always take a mix of shots from all distances, so you’ll have the headshots you need as well as a variety of others.
All of my high school senior sessions also include the option to take family photos during our time together.
​
GRAD CAP AND GOWN SESSIONS
Graduation brings out alll the feelings! A milestone that was once hard to imagine is now a quickly-approaching reality. Whether you’re tossing your cap, hugging your parents, or laughing with friends, these are the moments everyone will want to remember. A cap & gown session is the perfect way to celebrate the end of this chapter and the beginning of the next.
​
I work with both highschool and college grads.
COUPLES SESSIONS
I strive to capture love in a genuine and candid manner. Every love story is different and that's one of my favorite things about working with couples! I approach every session with an open mind, making sure your personalities and relationship shine through, while keeping it relaxed and enjoyable. My sessions come out clean, crisp, and timeless, with a little non-traditional twist to keep things fun and fresh. It's important that our time together feels like an unforgettable date rather than just a photoshoot.
​
Whether it’s your engagement, elopement or just because, I would be honored to capture your love!
CREATIVE PORTRAITS
Creative portraits are the heart and soul of Claire Meyer Photography. They're where my love for imagination, color, and all things creative sparked my never-ending passion for photography. These sessions are more than someone just standing in front of a background, they’re about bringing a cool, unique idea to life and going beyond the usual “wow” factor.
Most of the time, creative shoots are passion projects I dream up just for fun, because I love making art for the sake of it. If you’ve got a wild idea or just want to do something totally out of the box, I would absolutely love to make it a reality!
