This family knows how to blow a photographer's mind! I shot Hunter's older brother's senior photos and I was in awe when we arrived to that location! The beauty, the variety, the seclusion...everything! Their mother contacts me again to shoot her other son's; Hunter, senior photos. YAY! Of coarse I will! I am thrilled to go back to that spot! It's amazing, but private, so it's rare and such a privilege to shoot there!
The day arrives and his mother sends me specific directions of where to meet up. Well, it is not the same spot. I go through two locked gates, up some pretty steep tiny roads, then arrive at this outstanding lookout! Probably could go without saying that this land is also absolutely stunning annnnd private! It's where they chill out on the 4th of July!! So Jealous! The views are amazing...you can see everything! The Olympic Mountains are to our back and the Strait of Juan de Fuca is at our finger tips. We are sitting on this lookout that is big enough for approximately 10 midsized vehicles...nicely parked. On this random lookout is a very nice fire pit and a table with two chairs!
That specific day, the sky was so crazy. Part of the Peninsula in the Olympic Mountains had a forest fire that was still trying to be contained causing smoke to push our way. The west and north west had amazing hues of orange from the mix of the storm and fire. The east and southeast were very grey and blue from the dark storm clouds that were blanketing the sky. Check it out in the photos...such cool natural affects! It was also very cold out, accompanied by a very icy breeze. Despite being frozen, Hunter was such a trooper that has the best personality and GREAT hair!! We had such a great time taking advantage of all the goodness that surrounded us!
Many Congrats to you, Hunter! Class of 2024!!
