June Bug Photography specializes in family photography.
Lighthouse park in Mukilteo just might be my new favorite place! I love all of the different beautiful spots and backdrops. The lighthouse is gorgeous, and the ferry docks right behind it! Then there are the beach shots, grassy spots, and an awesome playground! Oh, and obviously, Diamond Knot Brewery is a must for after the session!
I did notice that starting June 1st, there will be a fee for parking…but totally worth it. We went on the Friday before Memorial Day, and it still wasn’t too busy. The fire pits started getting full around 6:00, totally wish I would have come prepared with MALLOWS. Next time.
I ended up shooting two sessions while at the park, the first session was with an awesome family of 3. Mom, dad, AND their gorgeous 6 year old daughter were in a wedding the following day, so they were all prettied up for the rehearsal dinner…perfect opportunity for a photo session right? Their little one looked adorable with her ringletts, and purple tinsel in her hair. This session was really fun, and about 1/2 “lifestyle” and 1/2 portrait type images. The family blew bubbles, flew kites, threw rocks into the water (my 4 year old son’s all time favorite activity), played on the playground, and found caterpillars. I had such a fun time hanging out with them and capturing the love they have for eachother!
My second session of the day was with a STUNNING mama-to-be. She was 39 weeks pregnant, and looked amazing. She was up for walking ALL around the park, kicking off her shoes and going into the water, and looked amazing doing it. She is an ER nurse, and as of Friday, was still working! Seriously a total trooper. Mam & Dad (to be) were so much fun to hang out with, and I am super excited that I get to see them again once baby is born! Actually, I get to see them LOTS in baby’s first year. They are my first OFFICIAL baby plan family, and they will be coming back for their newborn session, two “milestone” sessions and a cake smash for baby’s first birthday! My job is pretty much the best EVER. I get to hang out with cool people, and play with babies/kids.
And…now for the best part. Some of my favorite images from the day:
