Afternoon glow // Bainbridge Island Family session on film

Nothing beats the Pacific NW in the summertime and I was thrilled to find out that this trio wanted to adventure to the sea for our time together – like they do so often together as a family. We walked from their home, through the neighborhood, the forest, a little playground, and then down to the water.

Choosing an activity that is a part of the normal routine adds a real element of comfort for everyone involved and, I think, adds an extra dash of nostalgia to the images.

Here are some of my faves! All shot on film and developed and scanned by The Find Lab.
