Smiling family of three stands on a wooden bridge at Bothell Landing, holding their 6-month-old baby boy who is dressed in a blue shirt and pants. The mother wears a green floral dress, and the father wears a light gray shirt and navy pants. Lush trees and a calm river are visible in the background.

Location- Bothell Landing

There’s something incredibly special about capturing families in their everyday magic, especially when that family includes a bright-eyed, curious 6-month-old. This family session at Bothell Landing was the perfect blend of warmth, nature, and those little milestone moments that parents hold onto forever.

As the golden afternoon light filtered through the trees, we met on the lush riverside path near the Sammamish River. The Skattum family—elegant, joyful, and deeply connected—brought a calming presence to the park’s vibrant backdrop. Dressed in soft, classic tones, they looked perfectly at ease amidst the greenery.

Their 6-month-old son was the undeniable star of the show. With his expressive eyes, gentle smiles, and a wardrobe that matched the timeless feel of the day, he soaked up every bit of attention (and gave some adorable, camera-worthy stares). At this age, every photo captures a milestone—propped-up sitting, curious hand grasps, and wide-eyed wonder.

We started with a cozy setup on a colorful crocheted blanket, a nod to handmade charm. The family snuggled close, trading smiles and laughter. As the session unfolded, we explored the surroundings—the bridge, the shaded grassy nooks, and the peaceful riverbank. Each frame told a story: of love, new parenthood, and the beauty of slowing down to be together simply.
