There is something so beautiful about photographing a growing family surrounded by the forests of Bellingham, Washington. For this family photography session, we spent time together in nature with Mom, Dad, and their baby boy—capturing the little moments of connection, curiosity, and love that make this season of life so meaningful.


Rather than creating a stiff or overly posed family photoshoot, I wanted this Bellingham family photography session to feel natural and relaxed. We explored the forest together, cuddled their little one, walked among the trees, and allowed their baby boy to simply be himself. These are the moments I love documenting most: tiny hands, genuine smiles, parents looking at their child, and the quiet interactions that can be easy to forget as babies grow so quickly.

Family Photography in Bellingham, WA


Bellingham is such a beautiful place for family photography because there are so many opportunities to incorporate nature into your photos. From forest trails and towering trees to open fields, gardens, beaches, and waterfront locations, your family session can be designed around the places that feel meaningful to you.


For families with young children, an outdoor photoshoot can also take some of the pressure off. Instead of asking little ones to sit perfectly and smile at the camera, we can let them explore, move, play, and interact with their parents. Those genuine moments often become the photographs families treasure most.

Capturing the Baby Years



The first years of a child's life go by incredibly quickly. Family photography gives you a way to preserve this fleeting season—not just what your baby looked like, but what it felt like to be together.


The way your baby reaches for you. The way they fit against your chest. Their curious expression as they discover the forest. The way you and your partner look at your child.


These details tell the story of your family exactly as you are right now.
