I met Tracy and Kyle at Battle Ground Lake State Park on a gorgeous winter's day. Tracy and I had been discussing possible locations for the shoot via text, and when I stumbled upon images of Battle Ground Lake, I instantly fell in love. This particular shoot really made me realize how much I miss shooting landscape and wildlife photography, so I have decided that one of my goals this year is to get back to my roots and incorporate nature into more of my shoots.

Tracy and Kyle, you were so incredibly easy to work with, and even though we have only met once, I can tell you are both genuinely kind-hearted people. It's easy to see the love you share for one another in these photos, and I know you are going to share that same unconditional love with your new baby. May you both find joy in your new roles as parents, and I wish health and happiness to you and your little one.
