Valdez Family Year 5 | Carkeek Park

I love showing up to a photo shoot and seeing a fresh baby bump! Amanda surprised me with a sign during their shoot that they wanted to use for an announcement. Soon to be big brother was all over it...he's a total pro now that he's in his 5th year of photos with me. We've been romping all over the Seattle area for shoots and this year landed at Carkeek Park for some serious fun in the sun. There were trees to climb, rocks to throw in the water, and driftwood to balance along. Dave & Amanda are seasoned parent pros who go with the flow, letting their son be his best self while doing all the things that little kids love to do, catching his handsome smile between action shots.Thanks for being a forever family and for always allowing me to capture what truly makes your family special. So fun running into you the other day too, which was a great reminder that I still needed to post these ;) ! ~Marissa
