What a perfect fall day for a family shoot up at Lake Crescent! The colors!! I suggested the Spruce Railroad Trail to this family because they have older children that are able to easily walk to and from the Devil's Punchbowl. I am so happy they said yes! They all were so fun to capture! Everyone is so sweet and joyful. They took guidance from me so well! They were up for all my suggestions, even Dad...late afternoon family photo session during the last weekend of hunting season, enough said!
When the mom contacted me for a family session she mentioned that her oldest daughter had been seizure free for 7 months and asked to celebrate her progress. 7 months!! YES! That is huge!! Her mom bought her a gorgeous bouquet of flowers that matched all the fall colors so well. She also surprised her with a sign to document this special occasion. What a special moment I got to capture!! Look at her smile! So bright it lights up the darkest of nights.
By the way...this was my last shoot at this location before a landslide of trees and soil covered 280 feet of the trail! It will be shut down until the rainy season is over, all the debris is cleared away, and it's structurally strong again!
