mini session stories // beach day with mom

Sisters in green and red sit on a driftwood log with their mom on the beach for the best fall mini sessions in Seattle. 

This cute fam was missing a family member for this photo session. Dad had been injured and wasn’t able to make it. Rather than canceling, this momma decided to embrace it as a session for her and her girls. It was magical!

The sun showed up for us! The connection between this mom and her girls was so wonderful to witness and photograph. Aren’t they just lovely?!

Sometimes, photo day doesn’t go as planned. Kids often decide to skip a nap, traffic derails your plan to be early, you couldn’t find your favorite shirt in your closet, and the list goes on. I pride myself on making every photo session as fun and comfortable as possible and saying a big “get outta here” to perfection. Because

real is the new perfect.

And I would argue that this photo shoot with mom and her daughters turned out even better than any of us could have planned!

I would love to meet your family at the beach for some family (or mother daughter) photos! Let’s make some magic!

Love your photographer,

Anna
