I had an amazing time with this lovely family of three on a recent trip to CA! This was my first trip since the COVID pandemic, as a matter of fact! I have actually photographed this wonderful family a few times before and it has been such a treat to see their adorable little guy grow! It really is crazy how fast they grow up! It seems like just a short while ago he was small enough to fit in one of my wooden buckets! Now he’s outrunning his Mom and Dad at tag!;-) Plus, he’s got some kind of a photographic memory, particularly when it comes to sports statistics! I asked him what the Seattle Mariners’ record was at the time and he got it correct! He even knew who they had recently played and who they were playing next!!! He also knew the current win/loss records of all the other Major League baseball teams, the overall standings, and just about anything else you might want to know about baseball stats! He’s quite an amazing little guy!!!!

And his Mom did an absolutely amazing job on the outfits too! I love the suspenders and linen texture button-down shirt he wore! And the brown corduroy pants really worked well with our nature backdrop and his Mom’s yellow dress!

We visited a park I’ve never explored before (although I did run a few 10k races on a trail nearby before we moved back up to WA). Suffice to say, I will definitely be returning to this park in the future! I’m always looking for great new locations with natural backgrounds where I can catch some amazing light, even on a bright sunny summer evening and this fit the bill nicely!

Thank you all again for the wonderful session! It was so great to see you all again, especially after not getting the chance to make it down last year! Enjoy a sneak peek at a few of the many highlights!

Oh, that light!!!
