Every year, I do what I can do donate a number of sessions to a few very deserving charities. Anna purchased one of them, and chose a park in Bellevue for her family portraits. They go there often with their kids (you know, the one next to Bell-Square) and the kids love the playground and the ducks. She mentioned her duaghter often takes a lot of time to warm up to strangers, so I suggested we just let them play for a while at the playground. I hung around, smiled when she caught my eye, and in a matter of five minutes she really wasn’t bothered by my presence. Anna wanted some classic shots of the family from behind ( a true favorite of mine) plus some cute individuals of she and her husband with the kids. We had a great shoot, and I look forward to meeting up with them again soon.
