Beautiful Family Photos in Cascade Locks

Beautiful family photos with amazing views in Cascade Locks

Taking the Martin family’s photos out in the Columbia River Gorge at Cascade Locks was so much fun, and not only because they share my love of outdoor adventure. They are also super laid-back, are cat people, and their kids are basically younger versions of mine (their son loves Pokémon and Minecraft, while their daughter enjoys unicorns and mermaids).

This was their first time ever getting professional family photos taken, so I was so excited to show them how fun it is and to help them get beautiful photos for their walls.

I asked Laura what her favorite part of the session was…

“I loved when she had my husband sneak up on my kids to hug them, totally catching them by surprise. It made for priceless laughs for some great photos.”

“I also loved when we ended the shoot with a dance party. I can really see my kiddos personally shine in the photos!”

When asked what her favorite photo was…

“So many to choose from (which is also why we purchased all of them from our shoot!). If I had to say, one of my favorites was of my two children holding hands looking at each other. The sunset in the distance, shining through between the both of them. It’s absolutely gorgeous and you can see the love.”

Laura and her daughter are wearing dresses from my client closet, which I purchased from Joyfolie. The colors are perfect for fall family photos in Cascade Locks.

“My family all watched the slideshow Becca put together. It was beautiful. The music was so special and really made it a wonderful experience to have all together. Being that this was our family’s first professional photoshoot, we were blown away and I definitely had tears in my eyes.”
