Mini Session

Get ready, Seattle families! I’m thrilled to announce my exclusive Summer Mini Session Series, bringing professional family, senior, and milestone photography to one of Seattle’s most beloved and picturesque locations: the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, affectionately known as the Ballard Locks!

This summer, I’ll be at the Locks on three very special dates: June 20th, July 27th, and September 13th. These limited spots are your chance to create timeless memories against a backdrop that truly captures the spirit of our beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Why are the Ballard Locks an extraordinary choice for your family, senior, or milestone photography session?

The Ballard Locks offer a unique blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and captivating activity, making it an unparalleled location for your photo session. 10 things I love about the Ballard Locks.

1. The Botanical Beauty of the Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden: Lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and beautifully manicured pathways provide an ever-changing and stunning natural backdrop.
2. Architectural Grandeur of the Locks System: The impressive concrete and steel structures of the locks themselves offer a striking, modern, and even industrial aesthetic.
3. Dynamic Water Views: From the calm waters of Lake Union and Lake Washington to the tidal currents of Puget Sound, the water adds a serene and expansive element to your photos.
4. Passing Boats and Ships: The constant movement of vessels through the locks creates a dynamic and engaging element, perfect for capturing candid moments of wonder.
5. The Iconic Fish Ladder: A unique opportunity to potentially capture images with salmon swimming upstream (especially later in the summer), a true Pacific Northwest spectacle.
6. Historic Charm: The Locks are a testament to Seattle’s maritime history, offering a sense of connection to the city’s past.
7. Abundant Natural Light: The open spaces and water reflections at the Locks provide beautiful, soft, and consistent natural light, ideal for photography.
8. Variety of Textures and Backgrounds: From the rough stone walls to the smooth water and delicate foliage, the diverse textures add depth and interest to your images.
9. Accessibility and Convenience: A well-known and easily accessible location with amenities, making your session comfortable and stress-free.
10. A True Seattle Landmark: Having your photos taken at the Ballard Locks provides a uniquely Seattle backdrop that will be instantly recognizable and cherished.
