A morning walk in the park on a Saturday with the baby made these family portraits in Volunteer Park, Seattle, truly special. I met my client and her family at a time that matched her baby’s nap schedule—essential when you’re starting to navigate your new life as a parent.
Future Nostalgia at the Park
Volunteer Park, a hidden gem in Seattle, provides a grand backdrop for family portraits despite the city’s modest scale. The taller buildings near the park’s entrance create an ideal setting for capturing family portraits. There’s something uniquely charming about taking your photos in a location that people often overlook. The local neighborhood reveals hidden beauty if you take the time to notice.
For this session, Volunteer Park proved to be the perfect spot for this family. Think about the places you frequented before your kids arrived. You might have sentimental locations that evoke memories, like where you first walked together as a couple.
Old Spots Are New Again
Even if it’s a place you haven’t visited in a while—life with a new baby can be busy—there’s always opportunity for relaxed family portraits.
