Nisqually Wildlife Refuge Family Photos

Nov

08

So last Saturday, hu guys?! That was crazy. Almost everyone could reschedule for minis sessions for the following Saturday, thank goodness! Alicia’s family works on a unique schedule that requires them to work most Saturdays. They had taken the day off just for photos and everyone was dressed and ready to go. When I called we decided it would be best to forgo the “Mini Session” set up and just do photos at a park near them since they wouldn’t be able to make it any other Saturday.

I had previously done an extended family session with Alicia’s full family with her sister, brother, and parents. We had done them at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge so we knew it was a great mid-location already! (I no longer offer extended family sessions!) If you’ve been watching the blog a while, you know this is a go-to site for my Olympia couples! I especially love working here in the late fall/winter as the crowd of bird watchers thins out.

Thank you to Alicia and Michael for being so gracious over the last minute shoot location. I was devastated to have to reschedule everyone and am so happy we could meet in the middle when there weren’t many other options. The photos turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I do not pride myself in being a great family photographer as I typically reserve my education for weddings and couples. Working with mainly kiddos and families who have been behind my lens in the past DEFINITELY helps. I hope, as I continue to offer limited slots for these sessions, my previous couples and families will book them up so fast it’s like a reunion every year!

Thank you so much for bringing Delilah and Benson to work with me again. I can’t believe how TALL Benson has grown in just a year! It makes me nervous to watch my own boys grow so fast some day! I hope you all LOVE these images as much as I do and I can’t wait to see all the other families this Saturday! ♥

The in between

Life has been very romantic lately. Unknown and confusing and both flighty and grounded all at once. I remember being 14 and seeing my entire life by your side. Life is wild. I remember a water bottle and abandoned bleachers. I remember axe body spray and the way I had never been kissed. I know […]

Nirvana & I think of you

I hope you know better than to think I’d want to be anywhere but here right now. It was true on NYE and it’s true right now in my car outside the café. This may have felt seamless. Too seamless. Happenstance. But I’m here on purpose, now. I see your soft heart and I see […]

I hope you know better

You’ll walk through a glittering white veil, uncharacteristically soft compared to what you’ll find behind it. It has no need to keep you out. You quickly realize it’s the aura within that turns most around. The texture disorients. I’ll already be inside. What do you see? Upon first impression, you’re in a desert. Interesting considering […]
