A few weeks ago I received an inquiry in my inbox saying, “Hi Vanessa, we are getting ready to relocate out of state next month, but are hoping to squeeze in a family session before we leave Seattle.” We quickly compared calendars, and we found a Sunday afternoon that worked for us. I love the Seattle Arboretum for family sessions, so much to explore and an added bonus for a warm day, shade! A huge thank you to Thayer and Hayley for hiring me to mark this chapter of their lives; wishing you all the best on your move east!
We counted acorns, looked for Team Oomie Zoomie (way better than Pokemon!). I shared my instax-mini and the wonders of instant film with the kids, and then (when she refused to give me smile) I dared this little red head to a stink-eye contest… she totally nailed.
How adorable are these kiddos? 
Mom and dad are gorgeous too, no?
And when the fussy starts (and you know the session is coming to an end) I have everyone join in and make crazy faces!
Keep chasing that light!
Vanessa-
