Washington State Family Photographer | Beach Session

I am thrilled this beautiful mama found me on Google. (Thank you, Google!) Our goal for this session was to capture some quick shots of the whole family, then focus on little Gabriel for his 1-year milestone. Our window of opportunity was going to be short, maybe as short as five minutes, as sweet Julia has autism, and having photos taken by a stranger isn’t usually her favorite thing. We couldn’t believe it when she made eye contact and smiled big for me throughout the session. She lasted much longer than we had hoped. Look at all of these wonderful images this family will have to cherish forever and always!

We planned to highlight Gabriel’s first birthday with a cake smash. He preferred more of a neat and tidy approach with no “smashing” involved. Haha! I’m right there with you, Gabriel. I don’t like sticky fingers either.
