why my families love my beach mini sessions

I love this family. They are one of my brand new fams who I fell in love with the very first second we were together. They have told me time and time again that they loved their session at Golden Gardens.

Why did they love it??

Golden Gardens Beach is iconic - ask anyone in the Seattle area for recommendations on a great beach for the fam and this is top of the list.
Golden Gardens is gorgeous - expansive views, the Olympics in the background, trees, nature, and refreshing PNW weather. What more could you ask for?!

seattle senior portrait photographer // black and white

As a lifestyle photographer, I absolutely love capturing the unique and special moments that make up someone's life. One of the most exciting and important moments in a young person's life is their high school graduation, and senior portrait photography is the perfect way to capture that moment in time.

Senior portraits are a wonderful way to showcase a student's personality and accomplishments as they prepare to embark on the next chapter of their life. As a lifestyle photographer, I believe that the best senior portraits capture the essence of who the student is and what they hope to achieve in the future.

It seems sometimes people get caught up in family photos being people with kids. It seems photos of couples are always engagement or wedding photos. But seriously.

A family can take many forms, my friends!!

Some people opt for entirely in home newborn shoots. Of which I am a fan. BUT this family chose a little adventure for their newborn session and I am all about it.
