Family fall session - Seattle Arboretum

Fall is always brighter when I get to see this family! Third time is a charm, as our first two sessions were postponed due to heavy smoke and then being cautious about a getting a cold. We ended up with a beautiful fall day in the Seattle arboretum. We found an area away from people, and I got to see the running skills of this little man. Plus play time with mom and dad. Also, while I can’t wait for us to live in a world without a pandemic, this kid was so cooperative about keeping his mask on, and then taking it off for some photos as well. There were plenty of hugs, running, swinging and general playtime, I love sessions that are this relaxed and fun.

These two boys are energetic and playful with one another. Bubbles were a big hit, but aren't they with most children?! I love capturing the smiles and laughter in this family. The dog came along too, which I always love. 

Fall Family Session - Golden Gardens

It's worth it to get to the beach before it's crowded, which I'll admit isn't that hard when it's November. This family is a gem, and these kids are so much fun! One is enrolled in an outdoor preschool, so she never minded the elements. The older brother has grown so much since I last saw him, and it's hard to believe he's already in kindergarten!

Fall Family Session - Discovery Park

I first met this family a few years ago, when this boy was two. I see them each year before the holiday season, and so far it has always been a day that's really cold and dry. I wish I could have warmed this day up, as it wasn't even 40 degrees. This kid is a trooper and has such warm and loving parents. He's currently on the countdown until Christmas!
