Spring has officially sprung in Seattle, and this season’s mini sessions at the Washington Park Arboretum were nothing short of magical. With the cherry blossoms in full bloom and soft sunlight filtering through fresh green leaves. The Arboretum provided the dreamiest backdrop for capturing sweet moments with some of my favorite families.

What made these Seattle Mini Sessions extra special? Every single family I photographed this year are repeat clients. Many of whom I’ve had the honor of documenting from the very beginning. I’ve taken their maternity photos, newborn portraits, and holiday family sessions over the years. Watching these little ones grow from tiny swaddled babies to giggling toddlers and curious kids brings so much joy to my heart. It’s more than just taking pictures—it feels like catching up with old friends.

One of the beautiful moms below has a blog of her own that has so much helpful parenting and style advice. I love the post she just wrote about her mothers day traditions and what moms really want for mothers day. She also links to their super cute outfits they wore in their photos. Check it out here Natalie In the Northwest.

Why choose Spring for your mini session ?

There’s something timeless about springtime in Seattle, and the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms feels like the perfect metaphor for childhood—here for a moment, then on to the next chapter. I always try to freeze those in-between moments: the way a toddler squeezes her dad’s finger, how siblings chase each other under the trees, or that peaceful look a mom gives her child when she thinks no one’s watching.

If you’ve been thinking about booking your own Seattle Mini Session, spring truly is one of the most beautiful times to do it. The light is soft, the flowers are vibrant, and the Arboretum never disappoints. Moreover, it’s about preserving the story of your family. One season at a time.

To the families who returned again this year: thank you. Your trust means everything to me. It’s an absolute privilege to be invited back into your lives year after year. These images tell a bigger story—a story of growth, love, and legacy—and I’m honored to help you tell it.

With love and gratitude,
