Tara + Scott | A Snowy Seattle Winter Couple's Session

This has been the craziest February! I’ve lived in Seattle for five years and cannot believe how much snow we’ve seen this winter. In Chicago, where I’m from, this would be totally normal, but here it’s just so magical and fun. I love seeing how the landscape transforms when covered with a crisp dusting of beautiful white snow. It clings to the trees and makes them sleepy under its weight, and there’s a hush that comes over the world as we bundle and hibernate until the damn roads are finally clear! I’m secretly in love with the entrapment, though.

Tara & Scott braved the snow and arrived in a big, sturdy truck that could handle it well — and I hopped in and we made our way to this cozy little grove for some fun.

Enjoy.

Marsa, Jerry & Kai | Woodland Seattle Family Session

Sometimes you don't have to drive hours and hours to get to the perfect location.  This lovely wooded spot is actually right in Mill Creek, WA.  It's one of my favorite spots to go for a walk or jog, and made for an awesome photo spot.  Close parking, short walk, whole thing said and done in just over an hour.  :)

I'm booking up fall spots for family photos now!  Please reach out for more information or to grab your time.

Vantage Love

It's getting to that point of winter in Seattle where we are just READY for SUN!  Luckily we have some coming next week, but I just couldn't wait!  I grabbed my friends, the Silvas, and we drove across the pass to Vantage, WA where the land buckles in round rolling hills and tumbleweeds roll.  Also, evidently, where the wind blows gale force!  It turned out to be totally worth it.  How stunning is Adrianna in this gown?!  This is definitely a location I want to come back to -- any takers?
