“Plant Matter and All” | UW Arboretum Candid Family Image
The best family photos include the imperfections. This UW Arboretum candid family image from a spring session at the UW Arboretum is a perfect example of perfectly imperfect.
“I think that this one is my favorite! I can tell that Leila had just turned around and glanced at the camera, and she’s clearly about to run off in another direction. She has plant matter on her dress, but that doesn’t even ruin it for me! I like seeing all of those baby details that make it real.”
A UW Arboretum Candid Family Image with All the Real Details
Plant matter on the dress. About to run off. A glance at the camera that lasts half a second. These are the “baby details that make it real,” and this mama loves every one of them. We never clean up a scene or fix a hair out of place when the moment is happening because those imperfections are what make a family photo feel alive.
The UW Arboretum is one of our favorite locations for exactly this kind of candid family photography. Learn more about our family sessions here.
