It’s always fun to visit my favorite mountain and even though it didn’t make an appearance for us, the meadows looked beautiful as they began their transition to yellows, oranges, and reds for fall. And the slender conical fir trees that dot the landscape are always like something out of a fairytale. For some, it’s palm trees and tropical beaches. For me, nothing tops the beauty of sub-alpine fir, mountain meadows, glacial tarns, and soaring peaks.

And so we spent the late afternoon exploring the trails that criss-cross this popular park near Mount Rainier and had a great time. It was a bit cool, but we kept it moving and their girls had a great time exploring. I loved capturing their smiles and laughter!!! And they were so fun together! Staying on trail does limit the angles that we can capture, which can pose a challenge with active little ones, but with a little creativity and patience, we were able to capture beautiful family photographs and do our part to help keep the park beautiful for everyone.

Thank you all for the amazing session! I had a great time with you and your wonderful family! Enjoy a sneak peek at a few of the many highlights!
