I met up with this lovely family of five for their family photography session near Snoqualmie Pass. I had taken their oldest daughter’s senior portraits the summer before and just a few days after this session, amidst tearful goodbyes, she was headed off to college. It never ceases to amaze me how fast they grow up and I’m so glad we were able to capture these while they are still all together.  Looking at these, they will always be able to remember this time in their lives and the connections they shared. They are such a beautiful family!

We chose a location with tons of old tree stumps to play on and lucked out on one of those gorgeously ominous days we get get around here in Western Washington where it doesn’t really rain, but looks like it could at any moment. It actually sprinkled a bit on us for a while and it got a bit chilly, but everyone rocked it anyway and we were able to get awesome, sweeping, dramatic views of these beautiful mountains that are practically in our backyard. I loved capturing how close their three girls are, with expressions of shear joy and laughter, along with moments where they absolutely look like they’re ready to take on the world!

Thank you all for the absolutely amazing session! It was so much fun exploring the stumps with you and capturing what a wonderful family you have! Enjoy a sneak peek at a few highlights!
