When we decided to organize a couple of mini sessions, we spontaneously advertised on our local HOA Facebook page in Mount Vernon. Almost immediately, I received a message from Ainslee, a neighbor who lives just a few houses down from us! It was such a pleasure to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon with Ainslee, her son Aiden, and their adorable adopted pup, Blue.


We chose Little Mountain Park in Mount Vernon, WA, as the location for their family mini session. The park's scenic trails and lush greenery provided the perfect backdrop for capturing stunning shots of this wonderful trio. It was also a great opportunity to connect with someone who's been living in the area longer than us since we only moved to Mount Vernon a few months ago.


Ainslee and Aiden’s love for each other—and for Blue—was evident in every photo. The joy and connection they share as a family truly came through in the images, making this session one of our favorites.


P.S. Can you guess what their favorite color is?
