We had the pleasure of meeting Melissa and Jason a couple of weeks back when we spent an hour taking portraits with them at the Japanese Garden and Owen Beach areas of Point Defiance Park. If you've spent much time on our blog, you know already that those spots are among our favorites. That's true not just because it's a gorgeous park, but also because no matter how many times we go there, Point Defiance always seems to offer something new! Melissa and Jason are expecting their first child in August (congrats guys, we can't wait to meet your little one!) and they haven't had professional portraits since their wedding five years ago. So they were well overdue! They're relatively new to the area and wanted something distinctly "Northwest" for their portraits. Jason is in the military and they moved here from Chicago, so they liked the idea of giving gifts to their family and friends that would share the beauty of their new home with those who've never been here before.
While the weather didn't cooperate quite enough to get a great shot of Mt. Rainier from the beach, we did get some cool shots of them around the forest, rocky beaches and, of course, the water. I dared them to dip their toes in to see what Puget Sound feels like in the springtime, but (not surprisingly) there were no takers. Oh well, since they're still new to the area, we'll give them time to build up the courage!

Point Defiance truly is a beautiful park, and adds even more of a special touch to your beautiful portraits. I love the beach setting, but the photo of Melissa laying on her back and being kissed is my favorite!
