Nothing beats an annual family session at Lincoln Park. This tradition is something I’ve had the joy of participating in with one special family for the past few years. It all started when I met their little one on his first birthday. Since then, we’ve made it a point to schedule a session every year around his birthday, watching him grow and capturing those precious moments.
Lincoln Park in West Seattle is a favorite location for family sessions. Its perfect blend of wooded areas and beachfront makes for stunning backdrops that add variety and beauty to the photos. The tall trees provide a natural frame for family portraits, while the beach offers open space for candid shots. These elements create a dynamic setting that keeps each session fresh and exciting!
For this particular family session, we started in the wooded area, capturing playful moments among the trees. Their little one, now a bit older, enjoyed exploring the paths and playing in the leaves. We then moved to the beach, where the golden hour light created a beautiful, warm glow. The gentle waves and sandy shore provided the perfect backdrop for some candid shots of the family walking together and enjoying the scenery.
If you’re considering scheduling a family session, I highly recommend making it an annual event. It’s a wonderful way to document your family’s journey and create a collection of memories that you can look back on with joy. And if you’re in the Seattle area, Lincoln Park is an ideal location that offers a perfect mix of nature’s beauty and the excitement of the nearby ferry boats.
Every session is a new opportunity to see how much their child has grown and changed. It’s heartwarming to witness the bond between the family members and to be a part of their annual tradition. These sessions not only capture the physical growth of their child but also the love and connection that deepens with each passing year.
One of the highlights of shooting at Lincoln Park is catching the ferries as they come and go. It’s always a delight for the kids, who get excited watching the boats glide across the water. These moments of wonder and joy are what make each session unique and memorable.
A family session at Lincoln Park is more than just a photo shoot; it’s an opportunity to capture the essence of your family’s growth and the joy of each new year. I look forward to many more sessions with this lovely family and continuing to document their story as it unfolds.
