I'm a 20-something, coffee obsessed, cat mom from Colorado currently living near Seattle, WA. My journey with boudoir started with finding my own confidence and desire to get tasteful and flattering boudoir images of myself done back in 2019. My mom once told me that she always regretted not doing a boudoir session when she was my age.
We are Stormy and Michael, a husband and wife photo and video team in Bellevue, Washington, serving the Greater Seattle Area, the Pacific Northwest, and wherever love stories take us. We create bright, colorful, and timeless images for the radiant, sentimental bride who dreams of a romantic wedding day filled with radiating love and laughter followed by a night of party dancing and memories as sweet as the wedding cake!

We did a family photoshoot with our 7 month old baby with Stormy in her Seattle studio and it was such a great experience! Stormy was professional, friendly, warm and accommodating, which was exactly what we needed during these weird COVID times. She was great with our baby, playing music and making faces to try and get her to smile and laugh! Her studio was clean and in a convenient location. We just received photos from our shoot and are so happy with how they turned out. We highly recommend her and hope to work with her again soon!

We are so happy that we chose Stormy to take photos of our daughter’s birthday! Not only is Stormy an amazing photographer, but she is personable, patient, and flexible while doing what she does. We had some time remaining on the day of the shoot, so Stormy was kind enough to take some impromptu family photos with our parents and siblings who were visiting from out of state. There are so many special moments that were captured by Stormy and we will cherish them forever.

My husband and I are so glad Stormy photographed our wedding in late August 2021. Stormy is incredibly kind, easy to work with, and her photo ideas are amazing. Coming from a family who hates having their pictures taken, Stormy gave clear, simple direction to get through photos easily, quickly, and so everyone was still smiling at the end. Many of our family members made a point to say what an excellent job Stormy did and we couldn't agree more! She made us feel beautiful and documented our romance on our wedding day! Would happily recommend Stormy to friends and family and looking forward to working

We had SUCH a fun day with Stormy and Michael for our engagement photoshoot! From day 1 she helped us brainstorm what theme/location for pictures and guided us with outfit coordination. My fiancé and I have never done a professional photoshoot before and expected for this to be an awkward experience in terms of posing and looking natural for the camera, but Stormy did her magic and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. I am so in love with the pictures and details that she put together. Thank you Stormy for capturing this special day for us, we can’t wait to work with you again on our wedding

Stormy is so talented! She was able to get exactly what I was looking for in my wedding photos. I have only ever hired a photographer once before and it was a terrible experience, but Stormy definitely changed that for me. My wedding day was so incredibly windy so I did not expect our photos to come out as amazing as they did. Not only does she know how to get the perfect angles and lighting, but her editing skills just enhance everything.
I do not consider myself a model, at all. But Stormy made me feel so beautiful and confident in front of the camera. I think hiring Stormy for our engagement

BUYER BEWARE: The extreme disappointment you feel when you realize that the true character of someone is not what you thought it was: When the Covid Pandemic forced the cancellation of my daughter’s dream wedding, and financially devastated her, we put together a very small, outdoor, family only wedding and paid a separate contract for photos by Stormy. The contract for the original wedding was changed to a 2021 reception, but when state mandates limited receptions to 50, still required masks, and no dancing, we decided we couldn’t financially justify an expensive reception. All vendors we

We decided to take family portraits during our trip to Seattle and we found Stormy. She is such a talented photographer and we were so blessed to have found her! Our photos were AMAZING! We were exhausted after traveling the Olympic Peninsula and getting around Seattle, but the photos show everything effortless, natural and bright.
Working with Stormy was such a pleasant experience. She responded very quickly to my inquiry, provided tips on what to wear, and we had a great time during our photo session. She did a fantastic job and I couldn't be happier.

Working with Stormy and Michael was so easy and the photos are amazing! Stormy helped us feel prepared for the photo session and was super responsive to questions. During the shoot, she and Michael were so fun and efficient! We got so many amazing photos with lots of different poses from our mini-session. It was a great investment. I would definitely work with them again and would recommend them to others as well.

Here's the tldr: You want to hire Stormy Peterson Photography.
Initially, we had Stormy and Michael shoot our engagement photos in 2019. Then when our 2020 wedding was postponed due to COVID, we decided to have a commitment ceremony on our original date, and there was no question that they would be the ones to photograph that event as well.
Stormy and Michael exude friendliness, warmth, joy, and they bring that care and passion to the shoot as well as to the final photos. Their work has always exceeded our wildest expectations. Family and friends say that our engagement photos are some of the

If you're reading this review, you are likely still trying to find your photographer for that special moment. Well, look no further as you've found her! Before we booked with Stormy, she arranged a 1:1 for us to meet and make sure we could ask all our questions and get to know each other. As someone who will be capturing our big day, I loved how invested she is in "us" from day 1. We've only done our engagement photos so far, but they were beautiful and we have received so many compliments from friends and family. She has a way of making them look natural and timeless. Stormy is extremely thoughtful
