This family came into town from the Seattle area and wanted to get photos in the wildflowers. Luckily, we had gorgeous weather that weekend, and it was probably the last day before the wildflowers dried up. Already looking forward to next year’s season!

Do you feel it? Do you feel spring is here?

The sun peeks between the clouds every now and then & it’s warm. I hear the birds chirping and see flowers poking through the soil!

We lingered a little longer at the park this morning. I honestly was never really a fan of spring until I became a Waldorf teacher, where celebrating spring with the children was so intentional, warm & inviting, and the energy could not be ignored. Plus, who doesn’t love wildflowers?

I first came to this coffee house for my doula appt when I was pregnant (shoutout to .photo - she’s amazing!) and thought it would be cool to have a photoshoot here someday.

Well, that someday was last week with this incredibly loving family. I promised the boys hot chocolate and cuddles with their mom & dad and we had so much fun!

The owner of this shop is the best and was so welcoming.

So even if it’s cold outside (it was on/off rain on this day), even if it’s not even spring yet, we can still get family moments captured.

1. Be open. Be affectionate. Be vulnerable.
Vulnerability is very much key.
Hold hands. Kiss cheeks. Rest your forehead against theirs…it doesn’t take much but you have to be open.
I promise that the camera (and the viewer) can feel when love is guarded, and when it’s freely given.

2. Be fully present.
If you want emotional images, you have to allow yourself to feel and let go.
Slow down….Breathe….Stay in the moment instead of worrying about what it looks like (that’s my job).

3. Choose connection over control.
Your children don’t need to be perfectly behaved.
They need to be loved.

Movement, laughter, closeness —
that’s where the magic lives.
__________
The most beautiful images come from openness, affection, vulnerability, and from letting yourself feel it all in the moment.

If you’re willing to show up fully, I promise the images will reflect that.

Save this if you’re planning a session 🤍

Another dream session- Everything came together for this one- the weather especially! Snow tonight, but was warm & overcast yesterday so we took advantage of it with the rolling hills and big open sky.

I told this sweet family I wanted real moments, not posed. “What would you be doing at this park right now if I weren’t here with my camera?” I asked. The kids decided they wanted to go down to the water, skip rocks, run down the hill and hide in the bushes while spying on their parents. We did all that and more while I was a fly on the wall capturing the real them, their real moments. ❤️
