Looking for a convenient Eastside location for your summer family photos? In this post, I will showcase a beautiful Redmond location to help you envision and plan your session.
If you are looking for a beautiful summertime location for your family photos on the Eastside, you are in the right place.
I am a family photographer based in Kirkland. Over the years, I’ve scouted a lot of locations on the Eastside.
This post will highlight one of my favorite picturesque Redmond locations, which I have used for many summers. This location is just a short drive away for those living in Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville, and the surrounding areas. It has a good-sized parking lot with restrooms, making it very convenient and kid-friendly.
Let’s dive in.

My Approach to Family Photography
Before we dive into the photos, I wanted to share a few details about my approach to family photography:
- I believe that family photo shoots should be simple and enjoyable, making it easier for more families to document their journey through the years.
- My photography style is natural, relaxed, and centered on family.
- After you book, I’ll send you a detailed session guide to help you prepare and look your best.
- During the session, I will guide and naturally pose your family so you never have to wonder what to do next.
- If your kiddo does not cooperate, take a deep breath, and don’t worry – I’ve seen it all. Most of the time, I’ll still be able to get plenty of shots you’ll enjoy and love.
- I offer several family session options, including the Deluxe (full) or Mini (half) session.
- I will communicate promptly and deliver your photos within the promised time frames.
Sample Photos from a Family Deluxe Session
The Deluxe Session is a longer, more relaxed option that offers a greater variety of shots. It includes 60 minutes of shooting time and 20 hand-edited photos.

In Client’s Words:
“Lana is a wonderful photographer. Our session went smoothly, and the photos turned out beautifully. We will definitely be using her in the future.” –Lauren
Sample Photos from a Family Mini Session
The Mini Session is shorter than the Deluxe. It is ideal for families who prefer shorter sessions or those who book regular (or frequent) sessions. It includes 20 minutes of shooting time and 10 hand-edited photos.

Sample Photos from a Maternity Deluxe Session with Family
This location is also great for summer maternity sessions with family. The Deluxe Session provides ample time for a variety of family and solo shots.
Sample Photos from a Family Session with Grandparents
I think it is so special when grandparents are included in family photos. These keepsakes are priceless. And grandparents don’t need to appear in every photo. They can be in as few or as many shots as everyone is comfortable.
To have extended family join the session, you must book the Deluxe Session with a Family Reunion Add-on.
In Client’s Words:
“Our family has chosen Lana time and time again for our family photos, and she never disappoints. From start to finish, the entire experience is seamless and enjoyable, from booking and the photoshoot to the quick and efficient delivery of the final pictures. Lana’s talent shines through in every shot, and the results are absolutely stunning. We’ve received countless compliments from friends and family on how beautiful the photos are.” –Mingchanok
