This lovely family of four and their super adorable pug Stella have been wanting to update their family photographs for years now. I remember one year we were supposed to have their family session in November, but it kept raining, so we’d reschedule only for there to be rain forecasted again. And again. But this was the year. We had a perfect day this time around at my favorite tree stump garden in the Cascades. Their boys loved climbing on the stumps (they do make for a very cool, dramatic backdrop for sure) and I loved how close and playful they are together. And while I’ve photographed quite a number of families with dogs, but I have to say, Stella is super photogenic and very easy to work with. In fact, I’m sure she could enjoy a lucrative career as a dog model…😊

Thank you all so much for the wonderful family session! I’m so glad we were finally able to capture beautiful images for your family and I’m super excited for you to be able to display some of these in your home!
