“The Happiest Little Boy” | UW Arboretum Milestone Session

We love celebrating milestones with our families. This UW Arboretum milestone session was photographed on a gorgeous June day at the UW Arboretum, and this mama’s explanation of her favorite image was the sweetest.

“I absolutely love this image :) Braeden is the happiest little boy and you captured the love here!”

A Milestone Session Celebrating the First Year

One year goes by in a blink, and having professional photos to mark that milestone makes all the difference. Braeden’s happiness radiates from this image, and the love surrounding him is palpable. These are the photos families come back to year after year, watching their little ones grow.

The UW Arboretum in summer is one of our favorite locations for milestone sessions. The lush greenery, the dappled light, and the peaceful setting create portraits that feel timeless. Learn more about our family sessions here.
