Lifestyle family photography session at Rattlesnake Lake with mom, dad and two small children, with mountains in the background

I offer two main family photography services: the Mini-Session and the Deluxe Session. One of the key differences between the two services is the location of the session.

The Family Mini-Sessions take place around the Redmond area in several of my favorite locations that I pick, depending on the season. The Family Deluxe Sessions take place around the greater Seattle area in some of the best locations that I found and that you pick from the list. Rattlesnake Lake is one of these locations.

Rattlesnake Lake is a stunning location in North Bend, WA, that was only available as part of my Deluxe Sessions. However, on a few select days each month, I now offer Mini-Sessions there.

This is a very convenient location that offers the magical Cascade mountains and beautiful PNW looks that usually inspire the whole family and set the mood for an exciting session. It is only a short walk from a parking lot, has a bathroom on site, and is super fun for kids and pets. It takes roughly 40 minutes to get to it from Seattle/Eastside.

Below, you’ll find photos from many Family Mini-Sessions at Rattlesnake Lake organized by season, which will give you a good feel for this location and help you plan your session. I’ve also included important details about this session as well as an overview of the booking process.
