SOUTHWELL FAMILY - BURIEN, WA


The grandparents were in town, and the Southwell fam wanted to mark the occasion with a Lifestyle Session. Yes, we took a few posed shots here and there so the grandparents would have something to put up on the mantel, but the day was really about having fun together, exploring the beach, and their favorite little neighborhood market, Three Tree Point Store. We started on a walk from their house down to the water. I primarily focused on candid shots of the family enjoying their time together. It was a bright, sunny afternoon, the perfect day to stick some toes in the sand and grab some ice cream on our way back.


I love nothing more than being a (large) fly on the wall, experiencing these everyday moments with you. If you are interested in a lifestyle session, family friends, or chosen family, please get in touch! I'd love to customize the session to fit your needs, whether it's one hour at the park or a few hours hanging at home or in a cherished location.
