This amazing senior and her Mom travelled all the way from the East Coast to have her senior portraits among the beautiful craggy peaks in the North Cascades. And while it’s definitely quite a long drive, it’s also totally worth it. There really aren’t that many places where you can drive right up to such natural beauty and within a short walk, be immersed in sub-alpine splendor, surrounded by beautiful peaks on all sides. We pretty much got a perfect day up there too, with just a gentle breeze, clear skies, and a comfortably cool temperature.

We had a pretty awesome time exploring the area and capturing quite a collection of incredible images. Her Mom even got to be in a few of the images as well! 🙂 I think it is so cool that her Mom took her on this trip to see a little of the PNW and also have this amazing senior portrait experience up in the mountains. Seriously, it was so much fun and we found ourselves wishing that the sunset could just last forever… The views were jaw-dropping, to put it mildly. And she’s quite the athlete as well, participating in basketball, cheer, and the hurdles in track and field, so she had no problem hopping around on the rocks and getting through the terrain. We even got to have a little fun with the snow! Her outfits were amazing, especially her light merlot dress that really popped beautifully against our backdrops and happened to coordinate quite well with some of the wildflowers blooming up there too.

Thank you both for the absolutely wonderful session! It had such a great time with you up there capturing these incredible images. Congratulations to you and the class of 2025! Wishing you an amazing senior year!
