I absolutely loved my time with the Hargis family. They are such a sweet bunch and so easy to photograph, I mean just look at them! Everyone was in good spirits even though it was another chilly session.

We headed to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for our morning together and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I had only been there once previously for the Christmas lights, and to be honest it was slightly miserable… It was cold and wet the whole way through, not my cup of tea. This session completely restored my feelings toward the gardens, though, and I can’t wait to visit again!

Erin gifted this session to her parents for Christmas because they are soon packing up and moving to a small town in Montana to work at a Christian camp. Erin’s sister and brother-in-law, Emily and Nick, live in South Korea currently and were visiting for just a few days, and her brother Ryan just recently graduated from college, so it was the perfect time for family photos! I felt so honored to take photos of such a sweet, welcoming family. I can’t wait to see what comes of Ron and Kathy’s move to Montana, I know so many will be blessed by their presence!
